Today we’d like to introduce you to Keisha Hathaway.
Hi Keisha, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I have been working in retail management for over 20 years and the beauty industry for two years. I have always been passionate about the beauty industry, so that’s why I started it to educate myself more about the the industry 4 years ago and why I decided to get licensed. I wanted to do something for myself and feel excited about doing something that I love and have a passion for.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The time that I really wanted to give up was when I was a store manager working at least 55 hours a week then after work, I would travel to class 5 days at 25 hours and always on time and ready to learn. My days starting at 6 am and not ending until 10 pm. There would be days that I would be so exhausted that everyone around me could see my level of stress from my job and my stress of school. Each person would tell me that if this is something that you really want, Keisha, you are going to have to make the Sacrifice. I knew that if this was something that I love so, I continued to push through because I saw my goal that I wanted to achieve for myself. Each person was a special cheerleader for me to graduate and receive my license each push me daily because they know it was hard, stressful, and I was tired. Having them in my life really help make me the woman I am today. Each person whatever role they played in my life parents, educators, and friends all taught me something to keep pushing no matter how much you want to give up.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?

What sets me apart from other businesses is that the level of care, time, and attention to detail that I give to each of my clients, especially since I’m a small business owner. Each of my clients’ experience is personalized for them because I want them to feel special and relaxed and all their cares go away for that 1-2 hours that they are laying on my table. I want them to know that I’m there for them, and sometimes you have to wear many hats for them lol!!! One day they may need me to be a counselor next time to come in, they may need me to be their fashion stylist I can do it all lol! But in reality, they invest in me by being my client as well I as I invest in them by giving them great skin!
We’d be interested to hear your thoughts on luck and what role, if any, you feel it’s played for you.
I don’t believe in luck; I believe in blessings on top of blessings. With focus, drive, dedication, determination, and support is what drives me on a daily basis.
