We had the good fortune of connecting with Jeneive aka (Dazzle) Pinnock and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Jeneive aka (Dazzle), how did you come up with the idea for your business?
My journey began in my 30’s when I was pursuing my college degree. I was partying a lot, hosting parties and promoting parties. I would always get calls from friends and associates
asking me for suggestions about an outfit, or can I find them an outfit. Wanting to look different
and standout was the key for many of them. I would search days in and out until I found the
perfect look that they were looking for. One day I decided that I would start a clothing business
and sell unique pieces. I procrastinated for about two years until one day I was diagnosis with a
chronic health condition, which got me thinking why not fulfill my dreams. So I began my
business right after being hospitalized. I realized that God had vision for me and it was time to carry out his calling on life. The life of fashion was embedded in my soul and heart.
What should our readers know about your business?
We’d love to hear what sets you apart from others, what you are most proud of or excited about. What sets me apart from most boutiques is that I provide unique pieces. Chic’Dazz Boutique is a one stop boutique that sells women and men clothing, hair extensions/wigs, and accessories. Our goal is to make each customer experience different and to match your personality with a style that will compliment your appearance. I’m super proud of all the accomplishments I have done by opening my 1st brick & mortar store at The Shoppes at Webb Gin, Snellville, GA.

So I began my business right after being hospitalized.
First challenge I faced was not able to find the right designers and vendors that represented my style and the image for my company. I soon learned that I could travel, research or pay for a vendor list. However, this was not always successful because many of the vendors did not have styles that I was looking for. Other challenges were buying pieces from vendors and upon arrival the materials were horrible and of course returning was a big challenge. Many of the lessons I’ve learned throughout the way has allowed me to understand people and their needs and who and what they want to be, by brining out that inner esteem and style in fashion.
There are many custom pieces to choose from. We specializes in glamour evening dresses, cocktail dresses, two-piece sets, romper, and bodysuits, even to that perfect pink short wig, and not forgetting those diamond sparkling earrings that shine money all over. Each piece is unique to the eye.
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would love to dedicate my shoutout to my family and friends for seeing the gift I had for fashion. For allowing me to assist them for various occasions because they trusted my vision and style in fashion. They provided me the insight and encourage me throughout the process while allowing me to assist them by bringing their style of fashion to another level. Providing honest critique was very helpful because it allowed me to deal with my clients and customers today.
