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

Hi Minnie, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
It was the only way i seen myself being successful at being able to really support myself finacially. Not everyone is born to be a follower some people are born to lead. Every retail job or any job where i was employed by someone else always started out good but never end up working out. Aside from it not working out the pay wasnt enough. Minimum wage is not for me.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I am in love with my business! What currently sets my business apart from others is that it is a private one on one experience. I also offer a range of 65+ services. It is a one stop shop! No need to travel to multiple locations to get pampered. I am most proud that we have been open almost a whole year already. It took a lot of hard work to even just get to this point and this is really only just the beginning. We are still building and accepting new clients. Ive learned that in a start up of a business there is so much loss before you are actually seeing the gain. Thats with build up, clients, vendors, distributers, etc. Everyday you are tweaking and renovating ideas to create a beautiful business flow. Its amazing to watch it evolve and grow. Sometimes you dont see how far you’ve come till you reflect and look back. We are boosting confidence all day everyday w| our clients at the beauty bar because self love is the best love and we want to transform you into a version of your self that you love to wake up and look at.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Honestly i am from New York so i wouldnt be able to recommend just yet as ive only been here 3 years. With pandemic being over im hoping to get out and explore more this 2023

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
You know there were truly a lot of people who were against & didnt believe id make it this far. But ive worked hard for many years w| the support of my immediate family! All of the times they would babysit my child so i can go after my goals. Giving my daughter so much love and happiness! I couldnt be more thankful to them. The Four Agreements by don miguel ruiz is definitely abook that significantly changed my life. I recommend it to everyone!
