Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Rachel Cruz and Ruby Saleh. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Hi Rachel and Ruby, thanks for joining us today. We’d love to have you retell us the story behind how you came up with the idea for your business, I think our audience would really enjoy hearing the backstory.
Rachel is a hairstylist and specializes in curly hair. Ruby is a lash and makeup artist and owner of Ruby’s Beauty Bar. Over the past year, we spoke about starting a podcast, and March of this year we launched Beauty Bosses & Bright Minds. The reason we decided to start this podcast was because we thought it would be fun to do, and with our experience and knowledge throughout the years, we felt others would find us relatable. Our podcast focuses on topics such as; beauty, business, self-improvement, health & wellness & much more! You can find us on Apple and Spotify Podcasts, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok.
Rachel and Ruby, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
Rachel has been in the hair industry for 10 years; she’s known for specializing in textured hair. Ruby has been in the beauty industry for 15+ years, she’s known for being a pro-MUA, specializing in special event makeup, lash extensions, and spray tans. Rachel is most proud of being one of the few textured hair specialists in Northeast Ohio. Ruby is most proud of being a business owner of 5 1/2 years.
We feel the biggest thing that sets us apart from others, is our long-standing friendship in such a competitive industry.
Can you tell us the story behind how you met your business partner?
Our story began 7 years ago while we met working at Sephora. We both worked on building our careers along the way which led us to running our own businesses and becoming entrepreneurs.
