Today we’d like to introduce you to Cortanie Evans.
Hi Cortanie, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
Cortanie has been a lover of theater and the arts her whole life. She’s been a performer since her first musical in Junior High right up to performing as a couple face characters at the Walt Disney World Resort parks. She’s been a licensed Cosmetologist for 24 years. She has taught at and owned beauty salons and even a Beauty School. There she specialized in extensions and braiding and her students learned avant guard, wig work and theatrical designs. Through this experience she later worked for Disney Cosmetology, sitting on the other side of that table styling the performers wigs. 2020 changed that game and Cortanie decided to bring her love for all things big and theatrical, character styling and hair extensions to the guests instead, creating Bounding Beauty, the premier character makeover and photography studio in Orlando!
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Owning your own business means you’re on call 24/7. I juggle being the answering service, personal assistant to each guest, the boss, the Master Artist, trainer, Mom of 2 and wife. It’s a lot, but it’s so fun to have things how I’ve imaged them and bring the creations in my head to life!
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
When you want to be a little extra Bounding Beauty is for you. With the addition of hair extensions and full makeup you or your little one can be transformed into your favorite character. Be it for a memorable photo shoot at the studio or out in the parks interacting with the characters, our makeovers make you stand out of the crowd!
What would you say have been one of the most important lessons you’ve learned?
Keep your dreams in site but be willing to see the small picture too. When you jump ahead mistakes are made and you can get lost. It’s like learning to dive but not learning to swim, You have to be able to recognize the small steps in order to really get to the larger ones. This takes patience, lots of patience. I’m not going to say I’ve made it and all my goals are met, I still have very big ones; but I am proud of where I am and what I’ve done.
