Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Barbara Guillaume & Amy Komorowski. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Hi Barbara Guillaume & Amy Komorowski, thanks for joining us today. We believe kindness is contagious and so we’d love for you to share with us and our audience about the kindest thing anyone has ever done for you?
As small business owners we wanted to highlight this topic. It’s very important to build a community of other small business owners and mentors that you can lean on.
The learning curve is steep when you first start and many mistakes are made. It also requires a hefty amount of money to get started so when someone steps up to help or donate their services it makes a huge difference.
We have had many friends and colleagues step up to help us. Other women business owners have shared their resources for website design, packaging sources and labs. Photographer friends have taken our portraits for free and opened up their homes to us to let us shoot our products.
This has been one of the most surprising aspects of starting a business, to see who steps up to support you. In turn we can help other small business owners with our knowledge.
Barbara Guillaume & Amy Komorowski, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
We are two of the most sought-after celebrity men’s groomers/makeup artists in the industry with a devoted Hollywood clientele that includes Leonardo DiCaprio, Adam Driver, Austin Butler, Eddie Redmayne, Bradley Cooper, Josh Duhamel and many more.
Working with some of the biggest names in Hollywood, they trust and rely on us to look and feel their best. Creating radiant, healthy-looking skin is our expertise and we wanted to create a skincare product that made our jobs easier. CIRCA 1970 Luxury Face Oil was born out of this vision to create clean and simple skincare that delivered results while providing a beautiful sensorial experience.
We are so proud of what we created. Hearing from clients and customers about how much they love CIRCA 1970 and how it’s changed their skin is the most rewarding feeling!
Our first product, a luxury face oil is our secret to red carpet glowing skin. It’s gender-neutral, great for sensitive skin and works on all skin types. It hydrates, nourishes and promotes healthy looking skin. It feels amazing on the skin and works beautifully with your favorite concealer or foundation.
We love that it’s a product that we personally use as well as on our clients. It’s so rare to find a singular product that works on all skin types and instantly makes skin look better.
How’d you meet your business partner?
We met on a press tour in San Francisco working with our clients over 10 years ago. We instantly had a certain chemistry that life long friends do. We share the same sense of humor and love to have fun along the way.
How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?
We have been working as celebrity makeup artists for over 20 years. Our reputation and experience is everything in this business. Our clients demand and expect only the best products from us. They look to us as experts in the field and rely on us to make them look their best.
That trust translates to our clients and customers. If we use something on our clients you can bet it works! As professionals we are not just some business owners looking to sell any old product for profit.. We care about our clients and customers and only want to develop and offer products that truly work.
