Today we’d like to introduce you to Rocio Alcaraz.
Rocio, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
Growing up, I was always doing someone’s hair. Whether it was my mom, my sisters or even my friend’s hair, I was the one they called for their hair up do’s. By the time I was in high school, I was doing everyone’s hair for the Homecoming Dance or even Prom, but it wasn’t until I graduated from high school that I decided to pursue a career in Cosmetology. I was working part-time and attending school part-time to earn my license as a hairstylist. I continued to work my regular job while doing hair on the side until one day, I decided to open my own hair salon.
In 2009, I opened the doors to ‘Hairmosa Beauty Salon’ where I established an area for both beauty and barber services. After two years in business, I wanted to do more and decided to go back to school to earn my license as an Instructor. After completion, I became an Instructor for a cosmetology school and continued my journey educating for five years. In 2015, I took a job as a Brand Educator Color Consultant and in 2017 I was awarded Best Educator and Social Media Color Consultant of the Year. Later in 2017, I married the man of my dreams and together we opened ‘Hairmosa Beauty Academy Inc.… here we are, two years later, still running the school and witnessing others follow their dreams as a Cosmetology Grad!
Great, 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?
When my husband and I were in the middle of our wedding preparations, we were not expecting to open the school the same year. We definitely faced several challenges along the way but thankfully we made both our wedding and our school, a dream come true. We continue to learn and grow.
