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

Hi Mia, what led you to pursuing a creative path professionally?
Growing up, my mother reminded me that i would never be as pretty as she was and it started my self confidence issues. I started wearing makeup to try to be pretty like the models in the magazines. Once i learned to love me and see my natural beauty, i learned to enhance my natural beauty while still loving me. I wanted to give that same lesson to my clients so that they could see how makeup enhances the beauty in you!

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
MiAmor Beauty is more than just my brand. It is the passion I have for the beauty industry. In every service that we provide, the focus is on making it a memorable experience for our clients. At MiAmor Beauty, you are more than just a face, every client becomes family. Ive worked in customer service for over 10 years and I utilize that in every appointment. I am excited about our new cosmetics line that was introduced recently. It includes brow pencils, brow pomades, mascara, lashes, highlighters and eyeshadow palettes. Getting where I am today was not easy, because there were many nights of self doubt and wanting to give up. People see entrepreneurs and think it’s all fun but you truly put in your blood, sweat and tears into your business hoping that it will grow beyond your wildest dreams. I overcame those obstacles by thinking of my children and through the support of my friends. I want the world to know that MiAmor Beauty is an up and coming brand that will not only show the world how to enhance their beauty using our products but also there will be an expansion in the near future! My story for MiAmor Beauty is still being written and I can’t wait for the world to read it!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
First, we would go to Fat Charles Food Truck wherever he is that day because he has the most amazing birria tacos and his customer service is amazing, then we would go to see local artists such as Bethany Blanks who has expressive and detailed artwork, TopGolf , purchase quality skin care products from Joy Hendrix “Smouve Skincare”, stop to get massages from Aquaology who has the most blessed hands, to the Vulcan to see the city at night and to India Chanel to get our nails done and Micah Pierce to get our lash extensions done to top off the list.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to dedicate my shoutout to my kids Naomi, Noelle, and Xaiden they are my reason to excel in life, my sorority mother Audrey for her mentorship and helping me to realize my natural beauty, my husband for supporting me in starting my business and my friends Stephanie, Chelsea, Ceara, Ashley, and Brittney H for every second they spent helping me to build my brand.
