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

Hi Destiney, what led you to pursuing a creative path professionally?
I pursued a creative/artistic career simply because i like making other people happy. I love that in the hairstylist industry you get to see other’s faces light up when you have given them what they wanted. Not only do I get to make others look good, i make them feel beautiful.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
What sets me apart from others is that i take everything into consideration. I take the time to make connections with my clients and gain that trust with them. I have known i wanted to do hair since i was in middle school and since then i have had to overcome my fear of speaking to strangers. I realized that i had to get over that fear because of the career that i picked and since being in hairschool i have slowly but surely started overcoming it. I have learned that not everyone will like what you do and that you cannot make everyone happy. I want the world to knw that anything is possible if you put your mind to it.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would like to give a shout out to to my family for supporting me in all of my decisions and helping me navigate through everything and getting myself out there more. They have all always told me that i could do whatever i put my mind to and i have put my mind to becoming a successful hairstylist. I will soon be the hairstylist that lots of people know
