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

Hi Amrit, what do you want your legacy to be?
As a hair stylist and henna artist, my desire is to leave a lasting legacy that people will remember. I want to be known as a person who radiates kindness, positivity, and helpfulness—a professional who not only creates beautiful hairstyles and intricate henna art but also brightens every room I enter with my positive energy. I believe in going above and beyond in my services, always striving to exceed my clients’ expectations. My genuine love for my craft and my clients drives me to provide exceptional experiences. I find great joy in being part of their special day, and I’m committed to making it truly memorable.

I want to be seen as a role model—a hardworking hustler woman who has faced challenges head-on and succeeded. By balancing multiple responsibilities and striving for excellence in all areas of my life, I want to show others that with determination and a positive mindset, anything is possible. I find inspiration in the messages I receive from mothers who share my content with their daughters, hoping that one day their daughters will emulate my example.

As a Sikh Punjabi woman, it is crucial for me to be independent and successful, not just for myself, but also for my family. With hardworking immigrant parents who have sacrificed so much, I am driven to provide for them and make them proud. Through my career as a hair stylist and henna artist, along with owning online businesses, and pursuing an education in Public Health with a focus on epidemiology, I aim to create a life filled with financial stability and happiness. I also strive to inspire others, particularly women from similar backgrounds, to pursue their dreams and break barriers. Overall, I am determined to embody resilience, cultural pride, and success in order to leave a lasting impact.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I’m passionate about my art as a hair stylist and henna artist, and what sets me apart is the genuine care and compassion I bring to my work. My personality and heart play a significant role in providing a unique experience for my clients. I strive to go beyond just offering a service and genuinely want to help people in any way I can.

However, the journey to where I am today hasn’t been easy. I continue to work diligently every day to achieve my goals and establish myself as a prominent brand. Starting my business without any specific expectations or goals, I never imagined that it would flourish to the point where I am fully booked and even traveling internationally to work with clients who seek my expertise.

Managing my business alongside school, personal life, and time management has been challenging. I’ve learned the importance of balancing various aspects of my life while staying focused on my own growth and development. It’s crucial to remind myself to prioritize self-care and not let negative opinions or criticisms affect my mindset.

Ultimately, I want the world to know that my brand is built on a foundation of genuine care, passion, and dedication. I strive to provide exceptional experiences for my clients while continuously pushing myself to expand my skills and reach new heights.

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 would like to dedicate my shoutout to my parents, whose unwavering support, love and encouragement have been instrumental in my journey. They have always pushed me to be independent, fostering my entrepreneurial spirit and urging me to start my own business instead of seeking employment elsewhere. Additionally, I am grateful for the love and support of my grandparents on my mother’s side, as well as my siblings, who have consistently provided me with immense love and encouragement to persist in my endeavours.
