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

Hi Maribel, do you have some perspective or insight you can share with us on the question of when someone should give up versus when they should keep going?
I think you should never give up. If it’s something you truly want, when there’s a will there’s a way.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
As an esthetician I offer many services; lash extension, wax, brow lamination & facials. I still have a long way to go, getting to where I’m at hasn’t been easy. But, staying positive and consistent has helped me over come the challenges I have faced. I have learned that if it’s something you really want you have to work hard for it. If it wasn’t for my clients I wouldn’t be were I’m at, so thank you to everyone who has came to me for a service. I want everyone to know that I chose this career because I enjoy helping others feel more confident in their own skin. Therefor, I always try to do my best at everything I do.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Downtown for sure, so we can do a little bit of everything. There’s a lot things to do/places to visit.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My husband has been a big support, he encourages me to keep going and is always there for me no matter what. My parents and sister have also been a huge help. With their advice or helping me with my daughter. This wouldn’t be possible without them.
