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

Hi Latoya, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
Growing up in atlanta, always had that glow. Once I got to a certain age to learn about hustle & I did just that! I started from a job to working shifts a clubs in which I’m around ladies who are in high demand of getting pampered. After years of trying to figure out what it is that I wanted to do I decided to start school at Paul Mitchell Atlanta to peruse a career at doing hair. I naturally know how to do hair coming from upstate New York, I’m from Rochester NY. I graduated 2021 being a master cosmetologist. I sat, thought & plotted on everything I want for my brand . I learned in life you can be your own boss & not have to work for anyone ! So that’s what my main focus is . I wanna be behind all the beauty

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My art is special especially with lashes because I’m self taught. I didn’t give up even even I was discouraged. I take pride in every set I apply ! With hair semi the same thing . My efforts are high. My key thing is PRACTICE! Everyone started from the bottom before they become professional. Challenges- financially trying to invest with having a lot to take care of financially. If only there where gravy’s for us woman especially with me losing 2 out of 3 of my daughters fathers . Doing it alone is definitely a challenge but I’m not going to stop until I get to where I want to be . & that’s a business owner/ instructor

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?
We would definitely hit up cirque ATL or a local strip club. All you can eat crablegs on mondays lol strip clubs Always have great food
