We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Cecilia Valdez a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Cecilia , appreciate you joining us today. What do you think it takes to be successful?
First before anything always put god first in any dreams or goals you want in life . Being successful in life takes lots of sacrifices work & dedication . you also have to stay focused & try not to get side tracked !!
Cecilia , before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
Let me start by saying my passion & love for beauty still remains at the top. I don’t picture my self not being in the beauty industry its in my DNA !! Beauty by ceci is original to me since I first started my beauty career I knew this was the path god has given me . The numerous people that know me or should I say my conchass which are beautiful friends/ followers know I love my job being a makeup artist/ hairstylist Is always a fun experience especially when I meet my clients standards seeing there reaction is priceless it makes me feel that I’ve made there day & boosted there confidence . I may not be the best out there but I will say I have came a long way in many things in this industry & lessons were definitely learned !! I recently discovered my passion for Fashion I am now a small business owner of my jewelry business & it also has been a great experience I have gained amazing friendships & with time growing my customer base my conchas are the bomb !! The support is never unnoticed.. Cs Creations is just getting started !! & I love this journey in my life right now !! I walk by faith & let god handle the rest .
Can you talk to us about how your side-hustle turned into something more.
What can I say this side hustle has turned into my main job besides glaming faces i accessorize my girls . & I love it .. during the pandemic I tried figuring out what else can I do to provide for my family . Covid hit hard & my beauty career hit paused for 6 months & that it self was scary not knowing what would happen next . I am extremely grateful for the support I am given from my conchas. with out my girls I am nothing . It’s definitely a great experience. Goals & dreams have yet to still be met but with god anything is possible !!
What’s worked well for you in terms of a source for new clients?
Definitely referrals & most importantly trying my best to promote on my social medias let’s not forget the quality of my work . Let your talent make noise & bring success !!
