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

Hi Ilse, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
My business Idea came about due to a risk tbh. I constantly would go get my lashes done every 2-3 weeks. My lash tech at the time offered classes so I took a chance and signed up for it. I kept practicing for a month and half until I felt comfortable accepting clients and I haven’t turned back since.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Im mostly proud of how much growth my brand has made. Im also proud of my own growth as an entrepreneur and business women in this era. Im excited for the future and where it’ll take me as a female hustler.

I’m in the position I am due to my experiences in life and I always had a entrepreneurial mindset at a young age. I will definitely say the way I was raised built me to have a strong mentality & per-sue whatever I set my mind to.
It definitely wasn’t an easy road I had alot of bumps along the way. I over came the challenges by just reminding myself I need to push away from any form of weakness & to never let a situation define who I am.

I want everyone to know my brand isn’t just like any other business, its a brand I stand tall and proud behind because it’s one of my first businesses of many that offer great service, positive energy & a welcoming tech ready to service you!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Miami has so much to offer. I enjoy seafood from Mr.Crabman305 and Sister Sara Crab House must check them out. I enjoy lounges where you can be relaxed. My favorite go to is : Red Buddha Bar & Hookah Lounge its a vibe. I enjoy the beach especially with the South Florida heat.
