Canyon Scott  – Start to Finish Assistance – Fort Mill, SC

What industry are you in?

Carlton Ford Interviews Saleemah Elamin – Hydratherma Naturals

Saleemah Elamin – Hydratherma Naturals – Atlanta, GA

Tell me about your background?

I was born and raised in Buffalo, NY and attended the University at Buffalo. There, I received my BA in psychology and my BSN in registered nursing. I also received my cosmetology degree during that time period. I worked as a cosmetologist and registered nurse while in Buffalo. I had a love for both professions and didn’t want to give up either. My first love has always been with hair. While doing a travel nurse assignment, I fell in love with Atlanta and moved there in 2008. I worked as a registered nurse in Atlanta for about 7 years. In 2008, I followed my dream with my first love hair.  My husband and I started a hair care business called Hydratherma Naturals LLC and the Hydratherma Naturals hair product collection.  We started working the business part time while working our regular full time jobs. In 2009, I went full time with Hydratherma Naturals. This allowed me more time to dedicate to the growth of our business and product development.

My Husband was born in Huntsville, Alabama and raised in Birmingham, Alabama. He attended Alabama A&M University where he attained a BS degree in finance. He received his executive MBA from Troy University. He has worked in corporate America for a total of 17 years (12 years in the finance industry).  He began working full time with Hydratherma Naturals in November 2009. Some of his responsibilities include finance and marketing.
