Meet Daria Mcneely | Hairstylist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Daria Mcneely and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Daria, what’s your definition for success?
I define success as freedom, mental freedom , financial freedom. If you able to control your thought process without literally having to take extra steps to control it. & if you can control you finances without having to go that extra mile that’s considered success to me . When you literally living worry free & everything is everything that it’s supposed to be . Or just how you picture your future high self . Cause what might be successful to you might not be successful to the next person so it’s all what you vision mentally & see & consider successful .

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Getting where I am today was not easy. I may have looked easy on the outside lookin in because my mom was a hairstylists when I was younger so I soaked in all the game from her at a young age but as I got older I had to really tap into the business aspect of my business and that’s when everything started getting hard like . I have to do all this , I have to pay all this . At first my family used to doubt me tell me I can’t do this I can’t do that.. The system is build for you to not be a business owner . I be thinkin to myself . I can do what I want to do .I can do that . I just never doubted myself. One of the biggest lessons I learned is NOBODY CAN TELL YOU HOW YOU FEEL OR WHAT YOU CAN ACHIEVE , you have to know you power and be confident in your success cause if you don’t believe in you , honestly nobody already don’t believe in you they only believe in you cause they see you pushing yourself to the limit. MILLI BRAND IS STILL GROWING. We are still expanding . I made a stand to never get comfortable. I just want to be an example and show it can be done . Yes I’m a woman , yes I’m black & yes my business is a business just like Walmart started small I did too but I stick through every step of the way and overtime eventually I’ll have a multimillion dollar business .

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Man everytime im in the city I always go to American deli I don’t know what they put in the rice or the chicken phillys but it’s something about both. But that’s when im chillin if I want some good good food I always have to hit Queen Krabs . That’s the best seafood boil in the world I won’t even eat nothing else lol , and im extremely picky with my food. I always suggest visiting the mall . Im really heavy on the shopping . I would suggest hanging out at hookah spot . I like to hookah that be a vibe for me for real give me a lil casamigo im vibing away in my own zone lol. Clubs are coo but im a person that feel energy so it just be overwhelming in clubs for me I can only go like every blue moon .

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My daughter REN she keeps me motivated, I try to keep her hiding & protected from the social media world ,My business partner pzzi, we do so much work together. He keeps me motivated & he keeps me balanced , my family . If they wasn’t so hard on me as a child I wouldn’t be able to deal with being a chosen one . Actually still to this Day they still try to be hard on me but that don’t work anymore lol . My siblings, they motivate me , like I know if don’t nobody love me I know my siblings love me to death .
