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

Hi Kelly, what do you attribute your success to?
The Most Important Factor Behind My Business Would Be My Boys (My Children). They Are The Little Engine In Me That Keep Me Going Every Day, Starting A Business Wasn’t Easy At All But It Indeed Built Me Into The Mindset I Have Today, In Not Giving Up And No Matter What.. Keep Going! Wanting To Work At My Own Hours Being Able To Know My Children Are Okay Is What Keeps Me At Ease And Makes Me Go Harder For Them. I Attribute My Success To My Skill: The Fact That I Am Willingly And Would Love To Help My Current & Potential Clients Decide Into What Eyelash Extension Set That Best Suits Their Eye Shape. Another Attribute Would Be My Desire To Improve In Every Aspect, Business Wise & Personal Wise Because If It Weren’t For The Downfalls And Discouragement I Wouldn’t Have The Mindset I Have Today. I Feel That Downfalls Are What Shapes One In The Journey To Success Because We Wouldn’t Have Success Without Those Downfalls Yet We Learn And Grow From Those Downfalls.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I Decided To Pursue Being A Lash Tech Because Ever Since I Was A Teen I Was Always Into The Beauty Community. From Makeup, Hairdos & Manicures/Pedicures Its Something That Has Alway Been Up My Alley. Starting My Own Business Was Somewhat Difficult As I Wasn’t As Motivated As I Am Now! Lashed By Kelly Started Back In ‘21 And It Was Very Rocky As Family Issues Occurred, I Was Feeling Unmotivated So I Put A Pause To Lashed By Kelly. I Was Devastated As It Was My Business And It Was Something I Loved To Do! But As I Started Eyelash Extensions Again This ‘23 Year I Can Say I Came Back Stronger & Motivated Than Ever! From Remodeling My Work Space And Investing In My Work Supplies/Lighting To Never Losing The Technique Of Making “Fans/Bouquets” For My Eyelash Extension Sets. I Felt As If It Genuinely Wasn’t Something I Loved To Do I Would’ve Forgot All Techniques That Has To Do With Eyelash Extensions But I Didn’t! And For That I Am Proud Of Myself 🤍. I’ve Learned That No Matter The Highs And Lows Of A Business You Have To Keep Going And Don’t Backdown No Matter The Circumstances, To Keep Making Content Whether You Have Clientele Or Not, To Make Sure You Give Your Bestest Work, To Make Sure You’re Not Just In It For The Money But Because You Genuinely Love What You Do!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Some Places I Would Check Out With My Bestfriend Would Definitely Be @AGR Sports Club, It Is An Adventure Park Being Indoors & They Offer Mini Golf, Laser Tag, Paintball & Arcade Games (: A Great Place To Get Something To Grub On Would Be @Little Hen ! The Perfect And Cute Spot For Some Breakfast Or Brunch ! With Food Being Delicious & The Cute Floral Decor For A Bestie And Me Photoshoot
