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

Hi Lizet, why did you pursue a creative career?
As a child I loved being able to express myself whether it be with painting a canvas or just doing my makeup. It brought me joy. Becoming a stylist was one of the best things I ever did, I knew it would bring me joy as well as the person sitting in my chair.

 

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I am a hair stylist in the Houston area. I enjoy doing color, cuts, extensions, and bridal hair/makeup. I love being diverse and growing daily. You can never have enough education. It’s almost scary once you feel like you know it all.
I graduated highschool in 2019 and went to Aveda Institute- Houston immediately after. I had an amazing experience but I was so eager to learn more. After getting in touch with my mentor, Monica, she opened my eyes to see the opportunities that are in the industry. I’ve been able to learn from some of the best educators in the area and in the nation.
I have been able to take that back in to my salon to give my clients the best customized experience.
I think it’s important to listen to what the client wants and to communicate, they aren’t just a client and a dollar sign sitting in the chair. It’s a relationship and I think it’s important to honor that.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Houston has so many fun places to hang out at! One of the coolest spots I recently visited was the Post Market in downtown. It had so many food options and the roof top view is awesome.
You can most likely catch me hanging out at any spot in the city that has a good burger.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
The person who inspires me daily is my mentor Monica. An amazing stylist, mother, and friend.
