How has the COVID-19 pandemic positively affected your career/business?
While the negative effects are real, there are ways you can balance the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic by taking advantage of some of the positives! I think it’s imperative that we do not squander this unique experience. Instead, we have to ask, “What is the opportunity here and what lessons does this time have to teach us?” I choose to see the isolation as a gift. I’m healthy, safe, and working with the transformative power of gratitude.
More Importantly, this pandemic has helped show me how much my clients trust me. My clients not only still come back, but I continue to gain new clients because they appreciate all the precautionary measures and protocols that we are taking at my salon.
How is your company/business pivoting to changes from the COVID-19 pandemic?
Honestly, for us at EN Signature Brows & Beautys, we did not have too many changes inside our salon, as we have always had the highest standards of cleaning and it has always been my number one priority. However, we have pivoted a little towards the “online” world. We have started to do more online consultations and tutorials, as well as sell more products via our online store.
How do you maintain your own health/well-being?
The pandemic has really helped a lot of people, including myself, to pause and reevaluate our own lives. I feel really happy about this opportunity. It is not a secret at all that most of us were neglecting our own health by trying to manage work, school, kids, and the list can go on and on. We have too much going on and oftentimes forget about ourselves. I really want to share a few tips that can help you maintain your mental health and well-being.
It is important to sleep well! We finally have this opportunity now. Rethink your diet! Now that you can stay home more, dedicate some time to plan your meals. Remember, you are what you eat. Reduce your alcohol consumption. Keep it active and go outside as much as possible. Develop new skills and challenge your capabilities. Spend time with friends, loved ones, and people you trust and talk about or express your feelings regularly.
What are your daily habits?
Slowing my mind, meditating, and being at peace, trusting the process that everything is working out the way it should. I try to keep a positive attitude every day and it has completely transformed every aspect of my life for the better! If I can do it, so can you! I try to remember that we are all one, and the attitude of how you see your life starts with you. Spending more time in nature and watching less TV has helped me to stay more grounded and humbled.
What have been the most exciting things about this job/business/industry?
The most exciting thing about my job is that everyday I get to be creative and bond with my clients by making them look and feel amazing inside and out!
Did you always know you wanted to be in health and wellness, or is this something that happened over time?
Since my early teen years, I’ve always been drawn to beauty, artistry, and nurturing people. I started making my very own organic face masks and toners and gave them away to neighbors and friends to get their feedback on how their specific skin concerns improved. My family has always supported me in my passion and I’ve always known that taking care of people, helping them with their skin and beauty needs, and overall well being is my calling.
Who is someone you look up to or model after? A mentor?
My role model has always been my mother. She is in the beauty industry and interior decorating. I adore how she can turn anything she touches into a beautiful masterpiece—both for people and their homes! She has the kindest heart and an innate love for helping people.
