We had the good fortune of connecting with Sissy Duncan and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Sissy, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
“Embracing risk has been instrumental in the growth of my business, Hello Gorgeous Beauty & Co. Without taking those leaps of faith, I wouldn’t have achieved the success I enjoy today.
Every decision I made was accompanied by a sense of trepidation, but my unwavering focus on my goals kept me moving forward. It all began with a modest studio in my home, where I offered hair and makeup services. Over time, I expanded to a brick-and-mortar establishment with a dedicated team providing a wide range of services, including hair, makeup, facials, lash extensions, and tattoos.
In addition to this, I ventured into the realm of education by establishing my own academy for permanent makeup and lash extensions. To date, I have had the privilege of imparting knowledge to over 250 students since the inception of my academy. Each risk I took has not only propelled my business forward but has also allowed me to make a meaningful impact in the beauty industry.”
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?
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 any of my friends were in town, I would definitely bring them to the White Water Center! It’s a place we absolutely adore, offering live music, delicious food, refreshing drinks, and thrilling rafting adventures. We’d also make the most of the hiking trails, kayaking opportunities, and zip lining experiences. It’s always an absolute blast!
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I owe my success and current position in life to my family. Without their unwavering support, continuous motivation, and endless encouragement, I wouldn’t have been able to achieve Hello Gorgeous Beauty & Co to where it is today. Having their love and support really means a lot and helps me to stay on track.
