Today we’d like to introduce you to Samantha Maksutovic.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
Hi, I’m Sam — your go-to esthetician and beauty hype woman. With over seven years of experience in the industry. I started getting into beauty when I was very little. Getting into my moms makeup drawer was my thing and also got me in a lot of trouble. Ive always had a passion for makeup and enhancing peoples features. As years went on, figuring out what I wanted to do when I grow up, I wasn’t sure exactly what I was going to do. I went to college, got a degree, worked for Wellsfargo as a teller. It was great until I had to do it for the rest of my life! I shifted my mind set and dove into the beauty industry and never looked back.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Owning your own business is not easy. Ive had my moments of wanting to stop. Potentially finding a more consistent job. However, where is the struggle and life lessons in that ? There has been moments I want to give my self a pat on the back for keeping up with my business and working through the ups and downs. Even when weeks are slow and I am barley making it, there is a mentality shift in me that wants to work through it, not give up and see it through. Having employees is another obstacle. It can be easy working alone but it also is so much fun having a team. There are times of taking a moment to step back as the owner and put your self in someone else’s shoes. It is one of the hardest things one can do. Setting your pride or your mindset aside to really understand all angles of your business.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I specialize in helping you feel confident and radiant in your own skin. From lashes and brows to waxing, sugaring, facials, and natural makeup looks, I’m here to bring out your best features and support your beauty goals with expert care.
I carter to a lot of clients with natural looks. Wether that is lashes, makeup or brows. I am most proud of my lashes, makeup and brows. I really listen to my clients when they are describing what they are wanting. I like to ask a lot of questions to make sure we are on the same page. I like to check in with clients while doing the service to make sure the outcome is exactly what they are wanting. That is what sets me apart from others, respectively, I do have a creative artistry side of me, but some looks are not a one size fits all. It about enhancing unique special featured every client has.
