Kindale Clark shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Kindale , so good to connect and we’re excited to share your story and insights with our audience. There’s a ton to learn from your story, but let’s start with a warm up before we get into the heart of the interview. What do the first 90 minutes of your day look like?
Get my son ready for the day fed and nap time so mommy can get ready for work.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hi, my name is Kindale, and I’m the founder of The Heir Salon. I specialize in curls, color, and education, with a focus on helping people embrace and elevate their natural beauty. For me, hair is more than a service—it’s a craft and a way to empower others to feel confident and seen.
What makes The Heir special is the culture we’ve built around authenticity and expertise. From advanced color techniques to innovative curl care, I’ve made it my mission to educate both clients and fellow stylists, while raising the standard for what the salon experience can be. Beyond the salon, I partner with global brands like Original & Mineral and Virtue Labs, traveling internationally to share my knowledge and passion.
Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. Who were you before the world told you who you had to be?
Before the world told me who I had to be, I was a curious, creative soul who found joy in expressing myself through connection and artistry. I was someone who saw beauty in the little details and loved making people feel seen, valued, and cared for. That part of me has never really gone away it’s just evolved. Today, I get to channel that same authenticity and creativity into my work, building spaces and experiences that remind others they don’t have to fit into a box either.
What did suffering teach you that success never could?
I never really view it as suffering.I see it as the necessary work that shapes the journey to success. The challenges, long hours, and sacrifices have taught me resilience, discipline, and patience in ways that pure success never could. Success is the reward, but the work the grind, the lessons, the setbacks that’s where the real growth happens
Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. Is the public version of you the real you?
Yes, the public version of me is the real me, but it’s not all of me. What I share is authentic, it’s just the parts of me that are meant to inspire, connect, and create impact. The private me is softer, more vulnerable, and reserved for my closest circle. Both sides are real they just serve different purposes
Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
I hope people say that I lived with purpose, poured into others, and left things better than I found them. That I made people feel seen, valued, and inspired to embrace who they are. More than the work, I want my story to be one of impact, love, and legacy.
