knotieties


how did you start your business? i really fell into this little business. i was looking for a great solution for my crazy locks, something that would allow me to keep my hair tied back a lot....and do it without damaging my hair. i got tons of sample materials, tested a lot of options and ways to make them, and low and behold knotieties™ were born! i made WAY to many for little 'ol me, so i sent out a facebook shout to see if some friends wanted to buy some off me & the response was overwhelming. ever since we have been growing and evolving & it's tons of fun.


do you have any other jobs you do on the side besides this one? i have had my own photography business {jenniferJphoto} for about 7 years now & i absolutely love it. what is fun now in addition to my clients, i get to enjoy product photography with knotieties™ ...be creative & really portray the look and feel of the knotieties™ brand through the product photos.


what do you love about being an independent business owner/what is the hardest thing? flexibility for sure! 9years of marriage and 2 little boys requires a lot of personal attention....being an independent business owners allows me to give that. i do as much work as i can when everyone is sleeping...either late night or nap time. another great thing about it is being able to create what i want, pursue new ideas and styles without having to consult a boss. the hardest part for me know is doing all the crazy paperwork that goes with running your own business....but the joy i have with this little venture far surpasses any pesky paperwork.


Jen is a wife and mom of 2 crazy active boys.  When she is not knotie-tieing she is working with photography clients, volunteering at her kids school & trying to sneak time in with friends.  A good diet soda with caffeine keeps her gong on late nights making orders, but she wouldn't change a thing.
