We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Kayla Fox. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Kayla below.

Alright, Kayla thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. What do you think matters most in terms of achieving success?

To be successful it takes dedication and perseverance. I can’t tell you how many times I failed and how many times I went to school before I found my passion for esthetics. You should never feel down about your failures but instead see them as a learning opportunity to grow and evolve. I graduated in phlebotomy /electrocardiogram before, I went to school for esthetics my passion to want to help people feel good drove me to this career. Upon graduating I went into the world to pursue my career but was slightly disappointed in the fact that no one wanted to hire a newly graduated ekg tech / phlebotomist. Determined to be a boss I enrolled back in school and began my earbuds journey . Along the way of course there was many road blocks one which changed my life for the good and bad the passing of my 2 month old daughter. I was devastated and didn’t know how I was gonna continue but the love I have for my children and wanting to create a legacy for them is what drove me to continue to persevere until I saw it through, I graduated and went to work immediately to grow my brand and business. I named my business serenity’s beauty vault in memory of my daughter and I plan to do her proud and make her live on through the success of my business. Serenity you shall live on and your name shall be heard across the world.
