What's your business, and who are your customers?
I provide lash extensions and makeup services. I love working with people from different backgrounds; lots of my clients are multicultural and have unique stories just like mine!
Tell us about yourself
I first got into the beauty industry by playing with my mother's makeup and growing a love for the art. My passion continued throughout my teenage years; I attended a makeup academy course when I was 19 years old and fell in love. I learned business skills, marketing yourself, and more from my mentor, which ultimately set me up to start my business. My dreams of changing the industry/world in little ways is what motivates me to keep going! I truly believe each one of us has a mission and a purpose.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
One of my biggest accomplishments as a business owner is being able to go through the toughest of times and still be able to carry on
all while supporting other individuals in the process.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Having to constantly adapt to different situations and changing your strategies as a business owner.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Choose something that has a purpose that aligns with you.
- Be willing to invest in education and learn from others who are where you want to be.
- Be patient, work hard, and trust the process.
