Today we’d like to introduce you to Azaria Heredia.
Hi Azaria, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I’ve always loved makeup since I was a little girl. Fast forward, I attended cosmetology school, but while in school, I never liked the hair, only the beauty side of it. I worked at a salon for a year and decided to pursue makeup. For a few years, I worked at makeup counters. While working at MAC, I got my brows done by Toya at Hudson beauty. She asked me once if I would be interested in learning how to do brows. I said I had never thought of it, but why not? Toya taught me how to do brows and Brazilians. So in 2017, I started with brows and Brazilians . 2 years went by, and I didn’t know if I wanted to stay in the beauty industry, but with some time off when I got back into it, I fell in love with the beauty of the industry. Honestly, I feel like In 2021 is when my true artistry was born. I would watch videos on Instagram daily on how to perfect my craft. I studied my work and saw what I could do to improve. I’m my biggest critic, but I always strive to give my best. In 2022 I ventured off to open my own business in brows, Brazilians & makeup. I wanted to be the best role model for my daughter and let her know anything is possible. Business is growing, and I’m always getting new clientele. I always tell my clients without you; there would be no me! And I mean that! I’m so appreciative of my regular clients and the ones they refer me to. I love what I do, and it’s only the beginning.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Everything is divine timing. Once I got out of my way, God showed me he had bigger plans for me. The biggest doubt was me. Could I be successful on my own?
Thanks – so, what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I’m a Brow and makeup artist. I specialize in transforming brows, and glam natural makeup looks. I’m probably more known for brows, which I’m so happy about. I’m proud I stepped out on faith and went for what I deserved. What sets me apart from others is my personality. I’m funny, and I love my clients. To make them feel like they can be comfortable with me and that they are in a safe space. With my artistry, I brow map and have a mini brow consultation with my clients before I do anything to them.
We all have different ways of looking at and defining success. How do you define success?
I define success as living the life destined for me, living on purpose, and giving to others through the work I can do for them.
