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

Hi Jairus, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I started my business to cater to women who do not get a chance to take care of themselves. It’s so important to make every woman feel as beautiful outside as they are inside.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Javiché Artistry prides itself on luxury and providing top tier customer and makeup applications. What sets me apart from other artists, is that I actually get to know my clients and turn them into actual friends. This journey was and isn’t easy lol. I have my days when I want to give up, but I know that I was given this gift for a reason. In this industry, you have to keep learning. You can never get complacent and think you know everything. My goal is to make the world beautiful, one face at a time.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I’m a foodie lol. Whenever I have friends coming to visit, sometimes even clients coming into town, I like to take them to brunch spots. Bottomless mimosas anyone? And we have to hit up a few AUTHENTIC Mexican restaurants and taco trucks.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I have to give a big shoutout to God for giving me the dream and the passion, and the ability to do what I love. Also I a huge shoutout to my friends Tony, Joy, Simone, Princess, and my family for keeping me encouraged!
