Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
I started doing makeup for others in 2004.
What is your primary product or service?
My primary service is that of a makeup artist. I am also a hair and fashion stylist, and men's groomer.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
My contacts with makeup artists began over 15 years ago, when I got my first modeling job for Neiman Marcus. About 8 years ago, I started doing makeup for models, as well as my own, and discovered I have a special gift for it.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
I provide traditional makeup services with airbrush quality. My goal is to bring beauty to life with the looks I create. My style has been described as fresh and clean, with a unique edge. I have worked as a model and makeup artist in all areas of the industry, including fashion, commercial print, TV & film. My experiences both behind and in front of the camera make me a very flexible and well-suited artist for any situation.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
I provide on-site services, meaning that I go to the location of the job.
What type of payments do you accept?
Cash, checks, and pay-pal.
Which areas do you service?
I work primarily in the central Texas area, but will travel with expenses paid.
Who owns your company or runs daily operations?
I own my company. I have a manager who keeps up with my schedule, billing, and publicity.
What are your hours of operation?
I work on an as-needed basis, with no set hours.
What is the best compliment anyone can give you?
The best compliment is when a satisfied client refers me for other jobs.
What is your favorite quote or Bible verse?
"Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So, love the people who treat you right, forgive the ones who don't, and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said it'd be easy. They just promised it would be worth it." ~ Harvey Mackay.
