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

Hi Szeja, how do you think about risk?
I never wanted to be average. I never thought of myself as regular. Being extravagant is worth taking risk especially when coming out with certain looks It might not be everyone’s cup of tea. But it’s YOURS! Sip it and be Bold!

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I started as a Makeup Artist 3 years ago. I started as nothing and I built my way up from that with constant creativity. I feel like i stand out from others because of my creative mindset. I live for colors boldness it gives life to any look! I’m excited to graduate school this year! School had helped me with a more professional outlook on the beauty industry. Learning from Loraine’s Academy helped me add Hair to my service sheet! Though being a parent a student and a service provider is hard i overcame my obstacles by keeping GOD in mind and knowing that there is more at the end of my journey. The most important thing I’ve learned throughout this entire process is that people come and go and not everyone is meant to come on your journey! Keep grinding it out! It’ll pay off in the future.

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.
The beaches! My favorite place to be in Saint Petersburg Fl is the water! The bars the music the people it’s all a vibe! Anything downtown or out by the water is where you need to be!
