We were lucky to catch up with Emma Seo recently and have shared our conversation below.
Emma, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Looking back on your career, have you ever worked with a great leader or boss? We’d love to hear about the experience and what you think made them such a great leader.
I’m currently working at my own shop in Las Vegas, and I’ve also had experiences in Korea and LA. The owner of the space in Las Vegas is the best. Right from the beginning, she accepted the conditions that allowed me to join the location, always prioritizing my well-being over her own interests. Personally, I don’t usually like a company with a family-like atmosphere, but the owner has created just that, so I happily work my hours and then go home. This approach aligns well with my work style and allows me to get along without any trouble.
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?
I had been working in Korea for a long time, and I became so tired of my corporate life that I thought it might be nice to become my own boss. On impulse, I decided to learn semi-permanent techniques. I’ve been diving into this field, learning how to perm and extend eyelashes. As I tried to discover my strengths, I realized that I’m particularly skilled at doing eyelashes. You don’t have to do everything that others do; being professionally good at a few specific items can lead clients to choose my shop for that expertise.
Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?
I didn’t always possess this skill. There were times when I disappointed my customers, and I felt frustrated. Whenever that happened, I reflected on the problem and sought guidance from someone more skilled. After taking three different classes and receiving feedback, I have developed my skills to where they are now. Rather than giving up when I failed, I chose to learn more and improve. I believe it’s crucial to remember that no one starts off perfect, and there is always room for growth and improvement.
Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?
When I first learned this technology, it was necessary to upload many model photos of my work. Photographs were essential for marketing, and I frequently posted requests for models. When I had about 10 photos on my feed, people started following me. I made an effort to post stories often, and now, even if I don’t post as much, there is still a lot of exposure, leading to increased
interest and inflow.
