Today we’d like to introduce you to Elle Walker.
Elle, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
I was originally attending the University of North Texas, studying fashion merchandising. I have never been a fan of school and while I’m a hiatus, I had a change of heart. One of my older sisters would always do individual lashes on me and I wanted to learn for her self. After many attempts, I got it down and was able to practice on the women in my life and they eventually sent many others to me. It was a great side hustle but not nearly enough to make a career of it. It wasn’t until she seen an ad on Facebook about training to do eyelash extensions that I figured I could make a career out of something she loved. I began to look into other avenues and checked out esthetics and seen it was something I could enjoy. In 2016 I then enrolled in Duvalls School of Cosmetology, where I learned Skin Analysis, Facials, Hair Removal, and Exfoliation.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
No, it was pretty difficult. I was three mo pregnant when I enrolled in school and had to leave to have my daughter and take time off afterwards. What was supposed to be a six-month program turned into a year-long program, but I finished! It was all worth it.

Any shoutouts? Who else deserves credit in this story – who has played a meaningful role?
I have the Hardest Working Man, my awesome husband, Aaron, to thank! He has held down the home front so that I am able to fulfill this dream of mine! My sisters and cousin to thank as well they are always a listening ear, from pep talks, being guinea pigs, or just me bouncing ideas off of them.
