Today we’d like to introduce you to Maribel Groth.
Hi Maribel, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today.
I have always had an artistic outlook on life. As a child, I loved painting and drawing on anything that I could use as a canvas. I moved to San Diego when I was 15 years old, and it’s been my hometown since. In 2018 I decided to build something of my own. I kept seeing on social media posts about Microblading. I heard my calling and decided to take the first steps in becoming a semi-permanent Makeup artist by taking a class. The class was held in Los Angeles, California, and immediately fell in love with it. The satisfaction in transforming someone’s eyebrows and seeing their reaction of how happy they got with the results. This moment made my life feel fuller because my work helped someone else happier with their self-identity. I began to learn more about permanent makeup and began to add more services such as Lip Blush, Eyeliner.
I have helped many clients be happy and achieve to looks they want. They trust my work and soon thereafter inquire about other permanent makeup services I offer. I don’t regret choosing this great career in the beauty industry, especially since I get to combine art and beauty at the same time.
I have so many great people in my life that had push me to peruse my dreams, my family and friends are a huge part of what I had an accomplished.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
One of my biggest struggles was very recent. The 2019 pandemic Covid-19 was not easy for any business. The beauty industry was not consider an essential business. My business was shut down, and because of this my income disappeared.
Microblading by Maribel SD was closed for almost 12 months, and I was still responsible for having to pay for insurance, rent for the establishment, licenses, and permits. Everything had to stay up to date with the hopes of being able to reopen and see clients at a moment’s notice.
A huge thanks to my loyal customers who came back to me once we were allowed to reopen. There were days and weeks where I didn’t know how I was going to manage to pay my bills. With the support of my family, boyfriend, and certain financial programs, I can say my business survived the pandemic!
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
I specialize on semi-permanent makeup… yes, semi-permanent makeup, you read it right!
What Is Semi-Permanent Makeup? Semi-permanent makeup continues to grow in popularity. It is a type of cosmetic tattooing that utilizes pharmaceutical-grade pigments for long-lasting results that perfectly complement your skin tone and appearance.
Pigment placed just beneath the dermis (upper layer of the skin) to simulate regular makeup (brows, lips, eyeliner) or to look like natural brow hair.
We have great prices, and this is not a money sing procedure for us; we take pride on our services and actually want to make our customers happy; we use the best products out in the market for permanent makeup, we use the best topical numbing creams to make sure our costumer are more than comfortable during the procedure.
One of my most popular services is Microblading, but lip blush is been getting more popular in the last 6 months.
Did I mention we will be adding a wrinkle reduction treatment?
Yes, as I said, I’m always learning the best in the beauty industry, and I had travel to some other countries to learn new techniques.
What makes you happy?
Making my costumer happy is what makes me happy! Giving my best to every client who walks into my business, I look to be one of the best in this industry and I always research the best techniques and products out there in this industry.
Making my clients happy motivates me to give the best of me every time and better myself every day.
Having this business fills my life with joy; when I first came to San Diego, CA, I didn’t even speak the language.
Now I look back and I see how far I have come and how many people I had help and how many more I want to help.
I am a boss lady, and I want to use this Career to help some people who is having a hard time dealing with cancer or had survived cancer.
My next goal is to partner with a foundation and offer 1-2 free Services every month to cancer survivors, is the least I can offer to make their life a little more easy to what they had to endure in that battle against cancer.
