We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Euvanna Merriman . We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Euvanna below.
Alright, Euvanna thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Parents can play a significant role in affecting how our lives and careers turn out – and so we think it’s important to look back and have conversations about what our parents did that affected us positive (or negatively) so that we can learn from the billions of experiences in each generation. What’s something you feel your parents did right that impacted you positively.
My mother has been a master cosmetologist since before I was born. I often joke, “I was raised to do this.” Although I say it in a joking matter, it’s true. I spent majority of my childhood with my mom and siblings in her salon starting in Queens, New York making its way down to Richmond, Virginia. I am forever grateful to my mother for submerging me into the beauty world. Make-Up artistry became my passion and I wouldn’t have it any other way. My father equally made a great impact on my career. From monetary support, giving me advice, telling me to never quick, and always being the first one to repost my makeup photos! He is my biggest cheerleader.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I am a self-taught professional make-up artist. I fell in love with makeup when i was a little girl. Spending hours practicing on myself and watching tutorials i noticed that I had a talent for make-up artistry. My bestfriend volunteered to be my first client and from then on the rest was history. I am most proud of my growth business wise and from an artistry standpoint. With makeup- you are constantly learning new technique, the hottest products on the market, what looks are trending etc. I love that I have been able to constantly and consistently evolve. I am so excited to continue to grow and expand my business.
How did you build your audience on social media?
Posting consistently is the first step to growing an audience, no matter the platform. Keeping your content fresh and engaging retains that audience. It’s always great to hop on the latest trends that can drive more traction to your pages. People will gravitate towards you when they love what you do!
What’s been the best source of new clients for you?
Social media is one of my biggest driving factors in bringing in new clientele. Using hashtags and tagging my location on my posts brings in traffic for new faces to find me.
