Kori Ritter: The Voom Room
What is your biggest challenge? And your biggest or most memorable accomplishment? We want to thrive in Speedway while offering an inclusive and welcoming space that invites others outside of our community to visit and experience our services. We have been fortunate enough to allow the community to grow our mission and vision in to what it is today. The feeling of accomplishment comes from the feedback we receive from our guests stating that they have found a level of comfort and acceptance with us that they have yet to receive from other beauty professionals in the past. That is what our job is about - connecting with the individual in the chair and helping them express their identity.
Why did you choose to start or locate your business in Speedway?
I have been a west side resident since birth and a Speedway resident since 2007. I love this community and wanted to be a part of it's ongoing growth!
What advice would you give to another woman dreaming of owning her own business?Owning a business will be one of the most difficult things I have ever done. I wake up every day with a mixture of feelings. Sometimes panic and sometimes bliss. If you can wrap your head around that, you understand that owning a business is not easy but is worth every minute. You have to remain humble, be a constant learner, look for mentors, have balance, maintain your healthy boundaries, and remember most of all to be proud of yourself and give yourself thanks. Also, being a female in business, some will tell you your leadership or management style might not work or maybe that you are too soft or even overly firm. No. Trust yourself and what you have learned. It is always okay to take a little of everyone's recipe to success and do what you want with it. Above all, avoid "comparison syndrome" and STAY OFF SOCIAL MEDIA unless for fun!
