We had the good fortune of connecting with Haley Minifield and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Haley, can you talk to us a bit about the social impact of your business?
The impact I strive for my business in the community is to change the lives of one woman at a time. I want the time spent in my makeup chair to be therapeutic for them. I want each woman to leave with a boost of confidence.
Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I am the lead makeup artist and CEO of Hay Beauty. I have always been a lover of all things beauty and had a passion for makeup since I was a teenager. 2 years ago I decided to turn that passion into a business.
I believe the relationships I form with the women that sit in my makeup chair is what sets me apart. It’s more than makeup to me. It’s personal, it’s therapeutic, and it’s confident boosting. I come in contact with women from all different walks of life and we never know what people are going through. I strive to bring joy, be a listening ear, and bring some sort of encouragement or laughter by the time they leave my chair.
Lessons I’ve learned along the way is that everyone’s journey in entrepreneurship is different and to not compare my journey to others. Comparison is truly the thief of joy. So I have to constantly remind myself to stay consistent. I know that consistency along with hard work will get me where I want to be in my career.
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?
If my best friend was visiting the area we would go to Chateau Elan winery & resort for a spa date and wine tasting.
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to dedicate my shoutout to my husband, Antonio Minifield. He is my biggest cheerleader and supporter when it comes to my business. He pushes me and truly believes in me more than anyone I know. I’m so thankful for him and his mentorship in the business world.
