We recently connected with Shuneil Gadson and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Shuneil thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Alright, let’s jump into one of the most exciting parts of starting a new venture – how did you get your first client who was not a friend or family?
My first client was a coworker of mine booked me to do her bridesmaids. I was so nervous and it was my first time doing a large wedding party. I’ve learned so much since then. It’s a moment I’ll never forget.
Shuneil, 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?
Motivated, dedicated and driven, Shuneil is a Huntsville, Alabama based makeup artist with seven years of development in the makeup industry. Shuneil’s love for makeup stemmed from an artistic background from her love of drawing and modeling. From there she began to practice on friends and family until one day a co-worker pushed her out of her comfort zone and encouraged her to do her wedding. From that day forward she began to take her craft seriously and knew that in order to be more developed in the makeup industry training was needed. Shuneil has established herself as a creative professional with an instinctive ability to bring out the unique beauty of clients, regardless of ethnicity. Shuneil is available for various makeup artistry needs, including bridal and wedding parties, airbrush makeup,special occasions and photo shoots.
How about pivoting – can you share the story of a time you’ve had to pivot?
I made a major pivot in my business to photography when COVID began. I was exhausted from makeup and photography gave me that creativity I was looking for without all the long hours. It allowed me to grow and to develop a new love for makeup.
How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?
I believe what has helped my reputation in the industry is my consistency and compassion. I have a genuine love for what I do that goes far beyond anything monetary. Nothing compares to the moments you share and memories you make with your clients.
