Meet Citlalli Torres | Licensed Esthetician

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

Hi Citlalli, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
Risk plays a huge part when it comes to starting your own business. When it came to me taking that risk I was so scared that I was going to fail, but I knew if I never took that risk I would never know if I would be successful or not so I took that risk and I am glad I did. I knew when I took that risk I had to be willing to give it %110 to make my dreams happen. If it wasn’t for me taking that risk I wouldn’t be where I am today giving women confidence and making them feel beautiful everyday or even here writing this right now. Risk continues to play a role in my life but I’ve learned to not be scared and believe in myself.

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?
Ever since I was little I knew I wanted to be my own boss, I just didn’t know how exactly I just knew that I wanted to do something I love. Then I discovered the world of lash extensions and absolutely fell in love. I love what I do because I get to meet new people and form bonds with them and give them confidence by making them feel beautiful. However, it has not been an easy journey. When I first started it was very hard to get clients and get them to return, but I knew it wasn’t going to be easy and I couldn’t give up. I kept going little by little I saw progress in my work and before I knew it I had more people coming in and then I could afford to move to a salon. A challenge I had to over come was getting out of my comfort zone, I’ve always been and introvert and didn’t like talking to people or meeting new people, but I knew that all of that had to change if I wanted to have a successful business. It’s something that I am still working on but I am definitely getting better at it .That being said, I would want the world to know that my brand is all about making women feel beautiful and confident everyday.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I would definitely start off with breakfast at egghaus and get an horchata latte the absolute best, go for a walk at memorial park do some shopping at city centre and have dinner at blue sushi and definitely check out a market on a sunday!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would like to dedicate this Shout out to my boyfriend Anthony who is also an amazing barber. We have both watched each other grow our businesses over the years. He has always been there for me and supported me every step of the way. He is always helping me edit my videos given me feed back on how to do things better and has truly been an inspiration over the years. IG: Anthoofades
