We had the good fortune of connecting with Danyetta Miller and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Danyetta, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
After experiencing an unexpected layoff, I wanted to create a space to utilize my God given talents where the rug couldn’t be pulled out from underneath me so easily! With this vision it was clear that wanted to provide women with the looks and experiences that we witness star’s receiving, but on a working woman’s budget. To create a space that encouraged women that all we need is to enhance their natural beauty and create a beauty lifestyle where we can feel good about ourselves!
Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Ladii D Inc. is more than just makeup and lashes, it’s a lifestyle. #BeautyLifestyle to be exact!! It is my purpose to provide my clients with a luxurious, customizable, and enjoyable experience. I don’t aim for my clients not to recognize themselves, but to enjoy the enhancement of their natural beauty!! Adding lash extensions, lipstick, or blush can take a person from hi to heeeyyyyy!! And that’s our goal. Many times women feel bad for taking time for themselves or investing in their happiness with pampering and #BeautyLifestyle’s goal is to encourage women that not only is it okay to treat yourself and make yourself a priority every now and then, it is important in order for you to continue to pour out to everyone else! The idea of transforming Ladii D Inc. from just makeup & lashes to a full lifestyle brand came about after giving birth to my son Chase. I noticed I was “loosing” me amongst all my other titles, wife, mom, daughter, sister, friend, etc. I needed to take time for ME, treat Danyetta and not feel guilty, yet feel pretty! I realized I am not the first (or last) woman that has felt this way and so it became an added mission to our brand to add gear for the lady on the go with hats, shirts, hoodies, etc. A chance to feel stylish yet comfortable in your day to day activities! We also added beauty products for my clients to re-create their looks daily, with our liquid lipsticks, liners, and blush! We would love to have you join our #BeautyLifestyle journey!!
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
As you can tell pampering & relaxation is BIG for me. We would start with a day at The Ballantyne Spa with massages, facials, mimosas and relaxing by the pool! Once we are rejuvenated and ready to roll brunch spots would be on the agenda from Snooze to Link & Pin. Charlotte has A LOT of great restaurants to choose from. We could definitely do a little shopping at SouthPark Mall or the Premium Outlets. For lunch/dinner we would swing by Optimist Hall which has a little bit of everything. Depending on the season we would definitely have to check out Romeare Bearden park for their summer jazz series or catch a Knights Baseball game or Panthers game uptown. We would finally end the week with a day out on the lake with fun in the sun!
The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I want to shoutout God for providing me with this vision and the tools to execute! To my husband Nick who has/continues to support my dream! From his support with my long nights in school to receive my Esthetician license, to hanging mirrors and cabinets in my suite! To our son Chase who inspires us to be better at life and be an example for you to go after whatever your heart desires!! A huge thank you to my amazing family (especially my Dad, Mom, & Sister), friends, and clients who constantly encourage and support my business and purpose!! Last but not least I can’t forget my old coworkers Cyda & Julie, if it wasn’t for these 2 lovely ladies I wouldn’t even know about this industry and probably would have pushed off obeying God’s call. Thank you both!!
