Today we’d like to introduce you to Andrea Avila.
Hi Andrea, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I’ve known since a young age that doing hair was my passion. Growing up I was steered in different directions by other people but I always found myself coming back to the beauty industry. The plan was to go to cosmetology school after I graduated high school. But shortly after I graduated, I found out I was pregnant. I made it through my pregnancy and when my son was six weeks old, I enrolled in cosmetology. 13 months later I graduated in 2015. This year, I will reach my 10 year mark as a hairstylist. I’ve gained an amazing clientele, that I can almost consider family. I’m still super passionate about it and plan on continuing it for a very long time.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
My pregnancy wasn’t a struggle, but it was a step back. I wasn’t able to start as soon as I wanted to, but I knew it’s something I wanted to do so I got it done as soon as I could. Navigating cosmetology school with a newborn and being a first time mom wasn’t easy, and it also delayed the process a little bit. But I had tunnel vision throughout the whole thing.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I do a little bit of everything when it comes to hair. But I specialize in highlighting/balayage. Most of my clients come to me for the lived in, effortless looks. Which happens to be what I’m most proud of what I feel sets me apart from others is my personality when it comes to my clients I treat them as friends/family not just my source of income.
If we knew you growing up, how would we have described you?
I was always a social butterfly growing up my interest where really anything that was in the beauty industry. When I was in high school I started with bridal or special occasion events. Then I transition into doing nails. Up until I was licensed as a hairstylist, then I only did hair after that.
