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

Hi Nuna B, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
Taking a leap of faith is risky, especially with something as important as your career. But some risks are worth taking. If you play your cards right, you could achieve more than you ever thought possible. 99% of the risk that I’ve taken in my business worked out for me or prepared me for the next step that I need to take. I believe that you have to be willing to take risks and not seclude yourself in a bubble.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
started my business 2 years ago but I’ve been doing cosmetology work since I was in middle school. I started out doing rope twist. Growing up my mom was a hair stylist so I wanted to do something different. In 2018 I decided to invest my tax return into a lash class. I later then became a lash TEC and started working from my grandmothers couch , at this time I still had a job and was doing lashes on the side. 1 year went by and I quit my job and started working full time at a salon only doing lashes . The owner of the shop told me that I should open my options (meaning if I can do anything else I should) so then I started doing hair such as ( microlinks , silk press, sew in bond in etc ) which was all self taught. I just figured I’ve been blessed with this gift because of my mom . I eventually turned a room in my house into my work room to save money to get my own suite. In 2021 I opened my first suite and was able to gain new customers , expand my work ethic & meet new people. After 6 months things got a little tough for me so I had to make the decision to go back home and work from there . I’m still home now but my plans are to get a bigger shop where I can have others work with me and have a team of beauty experts. I always knew I wanted to be my own boss & own my own company. This grand would really help me and push me forward. There are so many young girls that I plan on teaching my techniques at a young age so they would already have a side hustle before graduating. I’m all about helping others and spreading knowledge. I motivate myself everyday to get up and find a way to accomplish every goal I set for myself big or small.
