When Sarah Gibson Tuttle first got the idea to open her nail salon, she was working a good job as an equity sales trader in New York City. Sfter being disappointed by the nail salon offerings available, Sarah decided to quit her job in finance and launch something she was passionate about, a nail salon called Olive & June. Since she started the company in 2013, Sarah has opened salons in Santa Monica and Pasadena, California, while expanding the company's unique product offerings that make at-home manicures easier to do. (Think: A reusable nail polish cap that makes it easy for you to paint your nails with your non-dominant hand.) Tune in to hear Sophia and Sarah talk about what it was like launching a business while living solely off your savings and why the at-home nail industry has the potential to grow to $10 billion. Plus, you'll hear Sarah's tips for managing a growing team without micromanaging them and how she got her suppliers on board with her innovate product ideas.
