Our Betty of the Week is Lia Hakim, the founder of @hottblowdry, @totallyhottsalon, & @hottlash! We instantly connected four years ago at the @highperformancesalon Academy.

Thank you for inspiring me and elevating the salon industry!...

I am excited to announce that the Betty of the Week is Stacy Rhone, the Chief Executive Officer of Business Investment Growth, aka @big_austin, a non-profit Community Development Financial Institution.

Unfortunately, she doesn’t wish to inherit the business (which I understand); she has dedicated her future to helping...
