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

Hi Camille, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
My thought process behind starting my own business was getting to share my talents in beauty to help others look and feel great about themselves. As a stylist and MUA it’s important to me to be able to educate my clients on self care and confidence in walking boldly in their skin and personal style. No matter your background everyone deserves to know that they are beautiful and unique in their own way.

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 specialize in Hair and Makeup. I’ve always had a creative side and a passion for it. It my peaceful place. The most rewarding part has been my service to my clients and making a person look and feel good through styling. I’ve definitely learned a lot being in business for myself, not giving up on my vision and my goals no matter how many rejections you get or even others just not seeing or understanding your vision, no matter what stay focused, keep God first and keep grinding. One thing I want people to know about my brand is it represents that beauty is everywhere it’s in everything and everyone.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Well being in Atlanta I would definitely take a friend to check out our night life and shopping. There so many attractions and exciting people it’s hard to pick a specific thing but I would definitely say our Midtown Little Five Points and Virginia Highlands areas would be a great place to explore just to name a few.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would have to shout out my family. Rain or shine they have been there from the beginning as my biggest supporters. My drive is for them.
