Meet Charline Charite | Owner of Charité Beauty & UpLevel Salon Suites

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

Hi Charline, what do you attribute your success to?
I have been shaping brows since 2008 in middle school and became licensed in 2015, and still thriving in my career until this current day (2024). I consider myself very successful and attribute all of that to God and the support from my family and my clientele. When you know God has put you on a specific path, it gives you a faith to keep going like no other. And when you have the support of your family and clientele who genuinely wants the best for you, whatever that looks like for YOU, you feel confident and always want to put your best foot forward to make them proud. I would not be here without these 2 important factors.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I am the owner Charité Beauty where I specialize in brow shaping, lash extensions and makeup. something that sets me a part from others is my ability to enhance women’s features without going overboard. When I first started my lash extension and makeup artistry, I used to compare myself to the work I was seeing on instagram, thinking I wasn’t doing enough. “Man, I need to get my looks to be bolder, more dramatic”. But little did I know I was attracting the clients that absolutely loved the more classy makeup looks (#classyhues my signature makeup style) and natural set of lash extensions. I decided to stick with it and I am glad I did. My brand represents class, relateability, faith and inspiration.

I am the most proud and excited about my new venture, UpLevel Salon Suites where we are dedicated to fostering a luxurious environment that empowers beauty entrepreneurs to reach their highest potential.. I achieved something I once thought was impossible. Starting my business in the living room of my house to now owning a salon suites. The road was absolutely NOT easy. What I will say is that it was definitely a learning curve and I made mistakes that I have learned from and will take with me for future endeavors.

What I would want the world to know about my brand and story is that trusting Jesus to order your steps will always lead you down the right path. I’ve lived a life full of uncertainty but when God placed this vision in my heart, I hit the ground running. I made a promise that whatever God told me to do regarding my purpose, I would do it.

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 friend was visiting I would take them to eat first thing. We actually have some pretty good food and drink spots in Port Saint Lucie. I would take her to Oak and Ember, Cafe 772 or Los Cocos for some food. Take a stroll in the Tradition area, they have small festivals sometimes and maybe chill at Vine and Barley for some wine.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would like to shoutout my family. My parents and siblings. They have supported me from day ONE! I can remember coming home from school in the eight grade, so excited to tell my parents I’ve finally chosen a career, cosmetology. As Haitian immigrants, typically this isn’t something most Caribbean parents would like to hear from their child, but instead of rejecting that idea and telling me to choose something like nursing, lawyer etc, they fully supported me. They told me as long as I was happy and can support myself with my career choice, they will stand behind me. They have truly kept their word!
