We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Nyuk Canady a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Nyuk, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Let’s talk legacy – what sort of legacy do you hope to build?
I have endured self doubt for a while now, but now I know I can & will do anything I set my mind upon. My legacy will be enormous! There will be no limitations as to what I can do. The journey has just begun.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
My name is Nyuk (new-k), business owner of multiple growing businesses. The main business I am know for is @ForeverBeautyPosh because it is a service that I provide myself which includes eyelash extensions & soon to be more. To focus the topic on something specific I’ll explain and give insights about my lash business. When I first entered the lash business in 2019 I can honestly say I did not stay consistent. Lashing is a very tedious task that requires a lot of patience in the beginning. However, what made me get into eyelash extensions was from my previous work of eyelash clusters/tabs. I enjoyed placing them so I was like why not learn something new? I’m actually always up for learning anyways lol.
In 2020 I decided to take this thing serious so I started lashing my friends, looking for models, family members, or really whoever didn’t mind a beginner. So far in 2022 my clientele has gained and I’m excited to see it grow more.
As for my clients that I have now I love them, & for my new clients I’m willing to disperse more love. My ideal clients are people who are sweet, loves a small conversation, & willing to ride with me through whatever. Gender wise I could care less because everyone is welcomed. Sad to say though, I do not prefer my family members as clients but I could go on and on about that. *Sighs*
What I want you to take from this about Forever Beauty Posh is that it’s a brand who cares & is willing to fit my clients needs in the form of my services. A brand who that’s here to boost a woman’s confidence. A brand that should be in your self care regimen!
What I want you to take from this about me is that I am a variety of things, and when I say variety of things I mean all things that are great. I just don’t want to categorize myself with just a few great traits because I could be missing some. Just know that I am intentional and pure if I had to say.
Furthermore, I am most of proud of myself if no one else is because not only am I a lash artist, I am a business woman. Yes I love what I do in the beauty world but it’s time to step it up a BIG.
If you’re reading this and read the whole thing, you’re beautiful & don’t let anyone tell you different! Oh yea, if you do anything business related let’s work!!!
What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?
A major lesson I had to unlearn was that my people had to support me in whatever I’m doing. This taught me a lesson because whenever my family and friends didn’t support I would feel a way of pique. I now know that it doesn’t matter who supports you because it will be people that will, but never stop believing in whatever you’re doing. If you have supported me in anything, I just want to say thank you!
Can you talk to us about how your funded your business?
Any business that I have started has came out of my pocket. If I didn’t have enough capital to start a business, I found a way. I never asked anyone for favors when it came to my businesses because I never want anyone to blow anything back in my face or feel as if I owe them something.
