We had the good fortune of connecting with Ju Blendz and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ju, how does your business help the community?
I believe it helps because it gives you a fresh start a different outlook on your self and a boost of confidence so maybe you can take that next step in your life for the better. I think that everybody has the potential to be great but sometimes you have to feel great and I think a haircut can help with that.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I really value my clients time not just my own so that’s one thing I make sure that I never make my clients wait to long beyond their appointment time. I’m proud that I did not give up years ago when I wanted to and that I had people around to give me that extra push to see my true potential. Starting your own business can definitely have its struggles and while being a father just adds to the challenges but I learned that you can not cut corners to get where you want to be because that’s just cheating your self out of the accomplishments along your journey. A lot of people do not know but I wanted to hang up the clippers along time ago but a family member told me your crazy your just getting started give it time, that really stuck with me and I never thought about given up after that.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I would say if your ever in Muskegon,MI you have to grab some food from Kazumis and maybe catch a Muskegon Risers game if it’s indoor soccer season ,or go check out the deck it’s a restaurant on the beach and last but not least book a haircut with me of course.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I just want to give thanks to my clients and everybody who has ever sat in my chair you all have been apart of the process and the growth along my journey and I would not have been able to continue doing what I love without the support. Remember to chase your dreams and do not put yours on the back burner so somebody else can live out their dream.
