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

Hi Angel, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
My thoughts behind starting my own business was that it was time ! I’ve worked in a few different salons and felt like it was time to step out on my own and truly make a name for myself.

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.
I think what sets me about from others is I’m a double threat ! I offer nails and skin care services ! I’m very well rounded in educating my clients about nail care as well as their skin care. I offer a very fun but relaxing environment. An array of spa treatments. I started out doing nails in my hometown of Toledo, Oh and moved to Atlanta, Ga to expand my knowledge and services and then later on grew a love for esthetics. Even tho it hasn’t been easy it has been rewarding. I feel like I’m getting over the challenges by just keeping it going and not giving up ! What I want people to know about me is that no matter your background, your struggles, challenges that if you set your mind to do something, try and do everything in your power to do it because that’s what I did ! I’m just in the beginning stages and I’m giving it all I got and some.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I’m always down for a good time when friends are visiting, so I would take them to Toast on Lenox, Roc South. I love the new selfie museums that they have in ATL now, so we check them out and get some bomb Instagram worthy photos and videos. maybe Top Golf, the Trap Museum, and of course we would hit the night life and check out a lounge or two.

I have a thing for selfie museum’s. They are great places to take pictures for content and just to have a good time and make memories.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My husband, my sons and family especially my husband. They have all been so supportive during this whole time of me going to school to become a licensed esthetician to opening up my own salon suite. I would not have been able to do this without them !
