Today we’d like to introduce you to Tamara Simmons.
Hi Tamara, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today.
I am a 25 native from Aiken, South Carolina. I currently stay in Augusta, Georgia 126 miles from Savannah, Georgia. I sell natural hair products for all hair types. It is my passion to make others feel beautiful with natural hair products. I started my business five years ago off faith as I was sitting at my call center job thinking of what I could sell; everybody always told me how pretty my hair was and how much they loved it and would ask how did I get my hair to grow so long. As I was sitting at my desk, I thought about hair products a lot of the hair products we use have alcohol in it which causes our hair not to grow. I had started making edge control and hair serum hair growth oils and shampoo and conditioner, which are all-natural hair products. The name of my all-natural hair products is called “MARA BORDES,” which is a combination of my name and the Spanish word “bordes,” meaning “edges.”. Two of my sisters are Hispanic, so I decided to incorporated the language into my brand name. It took me a long time to get where I am today. I had to take a long break and rebrand, and invest lots of money and time in my business. I am still working on my business every day because I learn something new every day, and also being consistent has got me a long way.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It has not been a smooth road at all, but you have to have faith it all starts with your mindset and always speaking positive into yourself and business. I had problems marketing and believing in myself, and with finding out who my target audience was. When starting a business sometimes, we keep putting our ideas on the back burner, and it hurts us at the end if you have an idea go for it do not wait.
Thanks – so, what else should our readers know about Marabordes?
When you shop with me, remember that your hair is a crown that you wear every day, so when it comes to hair, I want to give everyone the chance to have healthy, growing, and hydrating hair. I specialize in making natural hair oils and products. I am known for my lovely scalp essential oil and hair growth serum, which I sell out of every restock in one day. What sets me apart from others is that everything I do is by hand, from making to putting the label on the bottle to packing it up to shipping it off. I am most proud of selling out and being able to help women feel beautiful.
If you had to, what characteristic of yours would you give the most credit to?
The qualities I feel are most important when being successful are being humble and understanding with your customers and also always being respectful.
