Meet Danie Wilks | Cosmetologist & Entrepreneur

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

Hi Danie, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
I have passion. Without passion I could not be as successful as I am. As a hairstylist there needs to be a “want” to do your job. It is not always easy. I have & continuously work very long hours styling clients so having passion for the craft has to outweigh any other factors.

What should our readers know about your business?
Danified is my brand that started from simply my name & the way I love to make clients feel after leaving my salon. I am efficient in my efforts to provide good customer service and a finishing product. If I feel like I can’t provide the best experience, I won’t do it.

Success hasn’t always been easy but I stayed consistent. There were times where I felt being a hairstylist, I couldn’t provide for my family, I still stayed consistent because this is what I have a passion for. I knew at some point consistency would pay off.

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?
My friends & I are foodies lol. We especially love a good brunch. Some of my favorite restaurants are:

Flemings Steakhouse
Houston’s
Umi
Toast on Lenox
South City Kitchen
First Watch

A few hangout spots would be:
JoJos Beloved
Lava Lounge
The Garden Room

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My mom. She has stood by me through all the ups & downs of my career. I appreciate it all. I couldn’t have completed my success without her.
