Vanessa Elizalde-Gonzalez shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Good morning Vanessa, it’s such a great way to kick off the day – I think our readers will love hearing your stories, experiences and about how you think about life and work. Let’s jump right in? What is something outside of work that is bringing you joy lately?
Taking days off slow , getting a workout in at hot Worx
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My Name Is Vanessa Owner Of Nails With Vanessa Located In Fort Worth TX I have Been in the nail industry for 10 years and 3 years on my own . I specialize in gel manicures including builder gel and gel x nails . I am a big believer in quality over quantity .
Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. Who taught you the most about work?
My father who owns his own business. I’ve always looked up to him , knowing that was something I wanted for myself to be more present for my kids and being able to manage my own schedule .
If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
You’re doing great !
So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. What are the biggest lies your industry tells itself?
The biggest lie would be is that you get out of beauty school making six figures . It is possible but you have to put in the work .
Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. If you retired tomorrow, what would your customers miss most?
Girl time in my chair chit chatting and making their nails beautiful !
