Stepping Out On Faith
Yolanda’s Journey from Corporate Life to Transitional Roots
Some stories are about entrepreneurship, others are about faith, but for Yolanda, owner of Transitional Roots, her story is about both. In this week’s Standin’ On Business spotlight, we explore Yolanda’s journey of trusting God, following her calling, and building a thriving business rooted in purpose, passion, and a love for hair that began long before her corporate career.
Born Into the Salon
Yolanda’s love for hair started at a very young age. Born into the salon, her mother was a talented hairstylist who inspired Yolanda to learn the craft. By the age of 9 years old, Yolanda took her first client, setting the foundation for a lifelong passion. Growing up surrounded by hair care, she quickly developed a deep understanding of the art, science, and joy of helping others feel confident in their style.
From Corporate Comfort to Faith-Fueled Entrepreneurship
In 2020, amid the uncertainty of the pandemic, Yolanda felt a calling that she could no longer ignore. Although her corporate career provided stability, her heart longed to serve others through her talent and expertise. With prayer and trust in God, she made the bold decision to step out on faith and launch Transitional Roots, a business designed to merge her passion for hair with her purpose in life.
“Faith over fear,” Yolanda says. “I knew God was calling me, and I had to trust Him, even when I couldn’t see the full path ahead.”
Expertise Built on Education and Experience
Yolanda isn’t just passionate, she’s highly skilled. With over 10 years of loc service and hair care experience, she is a Certified Loctician who has invested in advanced workshops and specialized training to provide healthy, customized loc care.
Her services include:
Locs and loc extensions for all hair types and textures
Transitioning hair from relaxed to natural
Starter coils and microlocs
Loc maintenance and accessories
“Hair is a key part of your style,” Yolanda explains, “and I’m here to make sure you feel your best, whether it’s a whole new look or enhancing your natural beauty.”
A Business Built on Purpose
Transitional Roots isn’t just about hair, it’s about transformation, confidence, and trust in God. Yolanda’s story is a powerful reminder that stepping out on faith isn’t only about leaving something behind, it’s about stepping into something greater.
For anyone facing fear or uncertainty, Yolanda shares:
“If God is calling you, don’t wait for the perfect timing. Trust Him, prepare as best you can, and take the step. Faith doesn’t mean you won’t face challenges, it means you trust He’ll guide you through them.”
