We had the good fortune of connecting with Brittany Houston and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Brittany, what matters most to you?
In the business world integrity and consistently are on the top of my list. I listed integrity because at the end of the day I need to know your ability to deliver on your word consistently. Integrity to me is not just your brand but maintaining a good name and good character. It’s essential to having a big business impact. My parents taught me a lot about the importance of maintaining integrity. My daddy would always say ” You can spend 10 years of your life building up a good name and tear it down in 10 seconds with just one slip of the tongue”. Integrity matters in life, business and in relationships. It’s not enough to have integrity for a minute, hour or day. You must maintain your integrity over a lifetime.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I’m a hair color specialist. My clients are from across the globe as far as Hawaii. I didn’t arrive overnight, it has been a slow, tedious but rewarding process of trial and error. One of my major lessons I learned is identifying the right business suppliers to do business with. It’s all about quality product. I want to continue to receive notoriety for the quality hair and coloring services that I specialize in that make up Brittany Houston Beauty Signature Collection. I’ve learned the importance of tenacity, never giving up no matter what

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If my best friend was visiting the area, I would take them to Downtown Detroit to see the River Front, Comerica Park and the Fox Theater. Maybe catch a concert or play.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to give a shoutout to my parents who instilled in me many of my guiding principles. Also, my church Abundant Life where I received my theological and moral foundation. Also, my close friends who have always supported and encouraged me.
