Today we’d like to introduce you to Rose Ramos.
Hi Rose, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
My story of how I started as a hair stylist started in high school. I was enrolled in the cosmetology program at McKinney high school for 2 years and graduated with my cosmetology license. I’ve always had a passion for all things beauty and knew this is what I wanted to do for a living. I started off working as an apprentice in a salon suite with a few others. After a while I transitioned to a few other salons as well as full body waxing at one point. During Covid I decided to finally open up my own business to have more flexibility for me and my daughter. Bella – rose salon was then born ! Bella-Rose derives from my daughter , Isabella-rose , as well as my name combined. It also means beautiful rose. It was tough in the beginning as you can imagine starting during Covid but after almost 5 years of being on my own I can say I’m pretty successful and stay booked.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It was definitely not a smooth road. I think the main thing was that I was a teen mom. There were many moments where I had to make up my cosmetology hours due to challenges I had to face but no matter what my teacher was always understanding and I worked hard to get to where I am today. That’s a whole other story in itself but I tried many different salons and even switched from hair to just full body waxing. I knew I always ended up wanting to go back full time to all things hair. I also started in the middle of covid and left an only hair-cutting salon. So I had to build up my clientele from ground up , take classes to learn more on color , blowouts and extensions. It took many trial and errors as well as tight months. At some point I definitely had to have another small part time job.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I am a licensed cosmetologist who specializes in Hair color and hair cuts for the whole family. I’m most proud of the fact that I can see the vision of anything a client hands me and bring it to life. It’s very exciting and rewarding! I think what sets me apart from others is that I am family friendly. I invite anyone and everyone into my salon. I have a few extra spots for kids and family to sit in. I have my candy bowl that’s constantly raided and stocked. I keep it professional as well as personal with my clients. I’m always all ears and no matter what I will make it right so you’re happy with the end result.
What sort of changes are you expecting over the next 5-10 years?
I think in 5-10 years the industry will constantly just change with current trends and new techniques. People are always going to want to/ need to get their hair done. I think it’s up to the stylists to keep on top of the changes and take classes to refresh our minds.
