Beauty legend you respect: Ann Mincey. Her dedication to salon professionals and her continued contributions to public aid have made her a legend and an inspiration to me in my personal career path. I have read her book several times and I am always reminded that making a difference in others’ lives is more than just making them pretty on the outside but that we are building relationships and changing lives daily.
Choose beauty because: It’s an exciting career choice while helping to empower other women.
Tip: In order to make others feel great, you must remember to keep your glass full too.. Take time for wellness.
