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

Hi Ariyanna, what matters most to you?
Loyalty, compassion, authenticity and kindness are some of the most important principles to me because those are values that I honor and carry within myself. Having compassion and being kind to people are what makes this world a better place. Loving yourself wholeheartedly and staying true to your authentic self in a world where no one wants to be themselves is one of the most challenging and commendable things you could do.

What should our readers know about your business?
I am a Real Estate professional, Certified Lash Technician and CEO of my own beauty business, Aluxe Lashes. Having the freedom to call the shots and be my own boss has always been a goal of mine and being a realtor and CEO gives me the ability to do that. Ever since I was a little girl I’ve been obsessed with everything beauty and I love helping people so being a realtor and lash technician really is the best of both worlds for me. I’m always meeting all kinds of great new people and bringing happiness to them wether it’s getting them all dolled up for a special event or helping them find their dream home. As a growing business I strive to perfect my craft everyday and provide top quality customer service. Although growing my business into a larger platform can be difficult at times, it’s a challenge that I’m willing to take on. The lesson I’ve learned the most is to take my time, patience is everything. Aluxe Lashes started with no intention of being a long term business. My business came from a point in my life where I was struggling and needed to make extra money. Thankfully, something amazing came from it, and I have never been happier. Lash extensions have boosted my confidence immensely and helping others see their own inner beauty through lashes is truly amazing. The message behind my brand is to love yourself because we are all beautiful. Find your inner confidence and see yourself for who you really are, a boss and a beauty.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
For a vacation visit to Houston, I would recommend visiting the galleria area, it’s home to the galleria shopping mall which is one of the largest malls I’ve ever been to. Velvet Tacos Is one of my favorite food spots and will always have my heart. After that, drinks with friends would be next on my list and favorite place for drinks is a cocktail bar called Lei Low. Graffiti Park is where I would head to next for photo opportunities and to see some art. It’s a cluster of buildings with murals painted on them that are constantly changing which makes it the perfect place for photos.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My shoutout is to my family for always keeping me grounded! To my husband for being my biggest supporter, for always giving me a boost when I wanna give up and making me laugh and smile through the tough times. I can’t express enough how much it means to me to always have him in my corner. He is my inspiration and I couldn’t of made it through the storms without him.
