Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in beauty and cosmetics but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Tanesha Williams, Founder of Tanesha Williams Beauty, located in Severn, MD, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
My business provides makeup and lash extension services. I serve the everyday woman who desires to enhance her natural beauty with a subtle change simply. She doesn’t want to be caked-on makeup. She wants people to wonder if those are her real lashes because they look that good!
Tell us about yourself
I am a single mother who desires to bring out her creativity. I didn’t want a hobby. I wanted something I would leave my day job for. I had to love it. Being a Beauty Artist allows me to meet different people. I love hearing their story, and I love to share mine. It’s not just about makeup and lashes; it’s about encouragement and inspiring women to be the best version of themselves. Once I am done with their makeup, their reaction in the mirror is the best!
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
I really don’t know what I would say my biggest accomplishment is. I honestly appreciate every lash client, every referral, Bride, and testimonial of my services.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
One of the hardest things is being sure to set boundaries. You have to make time for self-care. Don’t allow the business to consume you.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Start - this will always be the first step.
- You are your brand. Market yourself.
- The more you love it, the more it will grow.
