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

Hi Jocelyn, why did you pursue a creative career?
Many years of being in the business and career I chose, I have realized how lucky is to do what I do because I genuinely love it. I get excited to go to work and work on transformations that change some of our client’s lives. I pursued being a hairstylist because ever since I was little I use to love painting and drawing. Now I can use my artistic talents in the work I do as a hairstylist and salon owner. I also have that creative freedom that I probably wouldn’t have in another industry, it’s amazing!

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?
I specialize in hair extensions and balayage in the beauty industry. I have been perfecting my craft for many years, from taking classes and learning new techniques. When our industry would shift, I would shift with it and making sure to stay up to date in techniques has become been so important. I was one of the first hairstylists in the city of Houston to be known for mainly extensions and I think all the years of experience have aided to that success. I have lot knowledge to share and I now teach classes of my method to other stylists. We also take a lot of pride in our services and truly comes down to being genuine and loving what you do. People will always remember our genuineness and the art we put into the hair.

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.
I love a Buffalo Bayou park overlooking the city so I would definitely take them there to get a feel of the city. I also like venturing into Galveston, specifically at The Strand because it’s history. Houston has so many food options to choose from as well, the list it’s endless.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My biggest inspiration and motivation have been my kids, without them I wouldn’t have achieved the success of today. My drive is for them, to show them they are capable of achieving their goals in their life and that it is possible.
