    I Cancelled the Contract | Kailey owner of Kéya Salon

    What happens when a business opportunity looks perfect on paper... but your gut says no? In this episode of The Samantha Parker Show, I sit down with returning guest Kailey Graziano, founder of Kéya Salon in St. George, Utah, to talk about one of the biggest business decisions she's ever made. After nearly signing a contract to open a third salon location across town, Kailey made a surprising pivot. Through prayer, intuition, conversations with her family, and trusting her instincts, she walked away from the expansion and chose a completely different path. The result? Kéya Salon is now expanding from 6 chairs to 15 chairs, growing its team to nearly 20 stylists, creating space for future services, and exploring opportunities that may include a day spa and even purchasing the building. Kailey's story is a powerful reminder that growth isn't always about doing more. Sometimes it's about trusting yourself enough to choose a different path. If you're a salon owner, entrepreneur, business owner, hairstylist, realtor, working mom, or someone navigating a major life decision, this conversation is packed with insights you won't want to miss. 🎙️ Watch the full episode now on The Samantha Parker Show.
