We were lucky to catch up with Amber Asher recently and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Amber thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. So, let’s start with trends – what are some of the largest or more impactful trends you are seeing in the industry?

Vixen provides on-location hair and makeup services which has been crucial in our growth and sustainability in a rapidly growing world for over 12 years. Clients demand convenience and we deliver . With 15 stylists on staff we can accommodate clients and go to them anywhere.

In previous years people have always looked to go to salons for their beauty needs . Vixens on-site services brings the salon to our clients. we provide everything- lighting, chairs , and top of the line professional makeup and hair products , our customers show up with an inspiration and we bring it to life. We often schedule trials prior to our customers event to give them the opportunity to decide on their final look.

Airbrush makeup is our most requested service. It feels light on the skin, and has durability in any environment . Our clients report that it lasts through the night and into the next morning. . Airbrush makeup has changed the way people look at makeup. It doesn’t have to feel or look heavy to get the glam look you want .

With the influx of emerging makeup and hair stylists , it’s hard for people to determine who to hire. It’s important to market through social media, venue relations, planners and past client reviews. Word of mouth is also huge in our industry. I think in a world full of online customer service and impersonal communication , people crave that old school feeling of actually talking and meeting with people. I would say my biggest word of advice is to be kind and always know your worth. Treat people like they are your only customer , and make them feel that way through your work .

Weddings are our specialty , but we also cater to a wide variety of other customers as well. Including, Tv , media , print, quinceneras and even Prom! We can accommodate any job big or small .

One of the biggest trends recently has been destination weddings! Clients love the idea of getting married on a beach in the Bahamas or on a rooftop in New York and Vixen will be there to accommodate. Also being based in the hill country we get a ton of events locally as well.

The influence of social media has changed the way our industry works . A social media post today can reach thousands tomorrow. Our team is constantly staying on top of beauty trends and educating themselves on how to deliver this to our customers. While braids and boho styles were popular last year , the clean girl aesthetic is in this year.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

Coming from an entrepreneurial family I knew I always wanted to have my own business.
I started having a passion for hair and makeup at a very young age and going through various jobs and schooling I ended up starting a company called Fab Faces by Amber. With the growing demand for services I evolved into Vixen. Having multiple stylists and now into a full blown team we are now providing glam full time.

What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?

being honest, kind and real with your customers will keep them coming back. Keep the quality of work and service consistent to build report and continue to get referrals I believe in the old school way of running your business-

Can you talk to us about how your side-hustle turned into something more.

I started out a one man show and with hard work and gr
