Today we’d like to introduce you to Kassandra Mendez
Hi Kassandra, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I have always felt like I was a creative person and I’ve always love are as well as getting my nails done. When I was in high school I took a cosmetology course that made me fall in love with the beauty industry. There were many years that passed by before I really got into being a nail artist. My passion for nails took off in 2021 when I was just experimenting on myself to see what I could learn. I saved up little by little so that I can buy enough supplies to have everything I would need to start really practicing. I practiced everyday because I knew that if I had the determination I would get it! Many of my family members and friends supported me through this journey by always letting me practice on them! 3 years later I have worked so hard to be where I am at with my small circle of clients who I am very thankful for. I can’t wait to see how much I can grow!
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Honestly it hasn’t been a smooth road! There have been a lot of ups in downs in this small business that I have. Learning how to manage everything by myself , marketing myself , and most importantly trying to gain and keep my clientele. It’s not easy but it’s 100% worth it to me.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I am a nail artist. I specialize in acrylic nails, I have a passion for hand painted nail art. I am most proud of how creative I can get when my clients challenge me. What sets me apart from others is that I try my best to always make my clients feel comfortable in the space I have created for them, make sure I make them feel beautiful and confident when they leave my chair.
Networking and finding a mentor can have such a positive impact on one’s life and career. Any advice?
Being around people in the same profession as you shouldn’t feel like a competition. You should be able to sit around being who are like minded and learn from them.
