Team Subkit -

Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in beauty and cosmetics but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Jackie Romero, Founder of Makeup and Hair by Jackie Romero, located in Encino, CA, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

I am a professional Makeup Artist who provides services for all kinds of special events, mostly weddings! I absolutely love what I do and getting to be a part of someone's special day. Making all of my clients feel like the best version of themselves is what gives me the most joy!

Tell us about yourself

I first got into it when I signed up for a makeup program just for fun back in 2011. After I finished, I realized how much I actually loved it and got a ton of opportunities from my former teacher. It spiraled from there, and now 11 years later, I have worked for tons of different companies, brands, other artists, etc.

Knowing I have my own clients who I love and who value my work motivates me every day! I love being in a field where I get to feel creative and be surrounded by amazing women on happy occasions.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

My biggest accomplishment isn't necessarily one specific event but more of where I feel I am at now currently in my career. Having mostly a client base who are all referrals makes me feel accomplished, knowing my clients are happy with my services and feel confident sending me to their friends and family.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

One of the hardest parts would have to be accepting that you can't make everyone happy and all you can do is do the best you can and give it your all with every client. Sometime's, your style won't be for everyone, and that's ok.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Create a vision and plan of what you want your business to look like and the types of clients you want to target.
  2. Take action and spread the word about your services to people you know who can refer you.
  3. Make a website and get on social media so you can advertise and showcase what you offer.
