Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Sierra Cobbs. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Hi Sierra, thanks for joining us today. Naming anything – including a business – is so hard. Right? What’s the story behind how you came up with the name of your brand?
Lavish Beauté Essentials was founded in September of 2022. It is an extension of my previous company Lavish Beauté Hair Co. About 2 years ago I started to learn how to make homemade body lotions. Which was very fun and from there I became obsessed with learning how to make body butter, oils, facial soaps, and more skincare products.
Sierra, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
Hello, I am Sierra Cobbs a professional cosmetologist specializing in hair and skincare. I’ve been a part of developing the natural beauty industry for over 15 years. I started my career as hairdresser and have had many successful outcomes with my clients and provide services that help them get their life back to normal.
In 2022 I decided to merge my hair and skincare products together and that’s when Lavish Beauté Essentials came about. We specialize in creating products for people who are looking for something that they can effective, afford, and is 100% all natural and handmade.
What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?
On this journey as a business owner, I’ve gotten adapted to the fact that things will forever change. Recently I experienced a growth stage in my life and in business that taught me how to unlearn my usual way of thinking.
For many years I became comfortable with doing thing the same way day in & day out. From the way I showed up online, and communication by email to my audience until I was challenged to do the opposite of what I was so used to doing. Let’s just say I’m still adjusting today, but in this time, I am loving that I was able to be freed from my vision of how business should be and changing that to what business really is,
Lavish Beaute Essentials is me & I am Lavish Beaute Essentials. When I finally figured out that it’s OK to be myself just as I am while nurturing a small business my entire life changed.
My best advice to new and current business owners “Be Yourself” don’t shy away from showing up as the real you because there is someone who’s waiting for you to show up so that they can show up too! We never know who’s directly tied to our purpose so it’s important to let our lights shine,
Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?
Yes! In September of 2022 I made a HUGE decision to no longer be a hairstylist after close to 20 years. Yikes, ikr…lol At that time I was so burnout with the idea of doing something that I was just known for VS doing something I loved, or even trying something new. After having a heartfelt, real, and much needed 1 on 1 session with my business coach I was able to gain clarity to make the decision that best suited my soul, and more importantly something I loved doing.
It was at that moment Lavish Beaute Hair Co LLC, changed to Lavish Beaute Essentials where we create 100 all natural, handmade, hair, skin, and body oils, body scrubs, and body butter to solve their skincare needs. We value being able to produce products and cultivate relationships with people who need exactly what we are here to share.
Remember Your Appearance Is Going To Represent You For A Very Long Time!
