Lexus Kile started her cosmetology path in 2018. Now, she is the
proud owner of a booming salon, Bottle Blonde on Argyle Forest
Blvd. in Jacksonville. The small business employs several local
stylists and serves clients with haircuts, coloring, styling and
waxing. Kile was a previous Comcast RISE recipient and said the
program helped her business grow.
“Being a Comcast RISE recipient gave me so much confidence as a
business owner. It really helped alleviate some challenges we were
having at the time,” said Kile. “The advertisements produced by
Comcast helped us bring in new clients. I am so thankful for the
program and the boost that it gave my salon.”
“Small businesses are the heartbeat of a local economy. It’s
important for us to connect them with fast Internet, root for their
success, and support them with resources,” said Rich Rollins, Vice
