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

Hi Mariana, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
Love this question! It’s what pushed me to start my own business and be dedicated to it full time. I left my 9-5 job and took a risk of not having that bi weekly income. In my business there were some weeks that I only had two clients and this was at some point scary due to all the obligations I had. I decided to take a leap of faith to work towards my goals and do what I really am passionate about; beauty, skin care and building a brand in this huge industry without knowing it was all going to work in my favor.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I’m excited about the growth that “BEAUTY BY MARIANA” will have in the next months. Online presence is growing and more people are scheduling appointments. I am still in the early stages but this definitely is more than what I started with- it all started with a desire to be my own boss and provide quality service. Challenges are many- one of them is differentiating yourself and brand in a very competitive industry – specially now days with a lot of people doing lashes, brows and providing beauty services. I’ve learned that one must be authentic, provide an experience more than a simple service and be creative.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I owe absolutely everything to my mom, her support and encouragement have been there for me always. She has been an esthetician for 20 years so I grew up in that atmosphere and I definitely think that’s where my passion for beauty comes from. She is not only my mother but she’s also my mentor, inspiration and best friend.
