AB: What’s your motto/advice you live by?
NF: Everything happens for a reason.
I have always liked having nice hair and makeup ever since I was little. As soon as I received the opportunity to go to cosmetology school, I could not help but jump at the chance!
I feel like what has made me successful is my attention to detail. I never let someone out of my chair until i sense perfection. I want them leaving completely satisfied and I also want to feel proud of my work as they walk out the door. Each client leaving my chair is a walking billboard of my work and talent. The best way to build a clientele is word of mouth and referrals. So I put 110% into every single guest.
Family and friends are extremely important to me in both my work life and personal life. It’s important to build that friendship within the store with fellow stylists. It fosters teamwork, respect for one another, communication, and understanding. It’s equally as important in my personal life. Time is the most valuable thing we have and it’s important to spend it doing what you love, surrounded by the people you love. In 2020, I am excited for all the opportunities it will bring. I hope to travel a little more, enjoy new experiences and start new chapters in my life.
