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

Hi Chelsea, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
After Graduating from Esthetics school earlier this year, I realized the beauty industry is were I needed to be. I always dreamed of being my own boss and to make money doing something I didn’t complain about doing everyday. I’ve always been into self-care and beauty products, and going to school opened my eyes to a new found love of doing eyebrows. Eyebrows in my opinion are the first thing you notice on someone’s face, I always struggled as a child with extremely thick bushy brows and I went through phases of loving them and hating them. Even over plucking at times. I wanted to build my business on educating both men & women on maintaining their brows, keeping them healthy and helping them to understand their natural brows can be accepted no matter what they look like.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Brow Bause offers a variety of services for both men & women from a simple clean up to full lamination and tinting. I specialize in brow waxing and lamination. I cater to each and every client differently, and that’s what sets me apart from other artists. I don’t just use universal products for every client, if you have sensitive skin and allergies I will use different products and wax than those of a regular client. I aim to create the perfect brow for every individual face that I touch and to give knowledge of what is being done. I’ve had clients tell me that my work shows I care and I aim to continue to build my business with the skills and knowledge.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I want to shoutout my loving family, and friends for the continuing support they’ve shown since starting Brow Bause. I couldn’t be more grateful and I’m blessed that I have these people in my corner. Without the mental and emotional support I don’t know where I or my business would be. Im deeply grateful.
