We had the good fortune of connecting with Ironelly Ozuna and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Ironelly, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
Being a business owner was not in my 5 years to 10 year plan. I was to go to college , get my collage degree and just get a job in my field. It all changed while in college and I wanted my hair and lashes to always be done but I couldn’t afford it. I quickly learned how to braid my own hair and do other styles by watching YouTube video’s. People constantly praised how good it looked and from there the idea of becoming a braider came to life. Before I knew it, I was in my college dorm room braiding hair for less than $50. My love for braiding has not died ever since but I wanted to make my brand a one time stop. I learned how to do eyelash extensions and created Bomb Girl LLC. Soon after graduating, I officially opened Bomb Girl LLC and have been not only providing services but teaching others the eyelash extension industry and hair braiding business.
Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I created Bomb Girl LLC with the idea of easing the trouble of booking serval different appointments. Here at Bomb Girl LLC, we provide a one time shop. You can get your lashes and hair done all in one day. We provide many different hair and eyelash extension styles. Bomb Girl LLC is my biggest accomplishment but it was not an easy task. I had no clue on how to own or run a business. Honestly, I am still learning today. Being the appointment scheduler, the hair stylist, the lash technician, the content creator, and the bookkeeper. It honestly is hard and I can not sugarcoat it but it is doable. I do it everyday and I would not change it for the world.
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I am a food lover and I probably try every spot in Miami lol. Here is how the day would go with me. We will start off at brunch spot, either at Just Spoons Cafe’, Bistro Café or Nikki Beach. After brunch, I’ll take her to see the city. We can take a scroll through Wynwood or Miami Design Distract. Each of these places have amazing art and best IG content. We will come home and get ready for the night life. Dinner will either be at El Tucán Miami or Victory Restaurant & Lounge. We can hit a night club, strip club or even a lowkey lounge depending on the mood. Come to Miami and I can definitely give you a great time.
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I can honestly thank a lot of people but I would like to give a special thanks to my clients. Without them Bomb Girl LLC would not be here. They have been standing by my side since my college dorm room. Giving your trust to a 19 year old college student is difficult but my clients saw my potential and have been seeing my growth ever since. They have encouraged me to never give up and keep pushing.
