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

Hi Marina, we’d love to hear what makes you happy.
When I was a kid, I loved to draw, make all kinds of crafts, build things or put things together, and also transform my doll’s, even my little sister’s hair. I had such a creative brain, that I swore I was going to be an artist, hairstylist, and interior designer. Fast forward to over two decades, and I’m blessed to say that I’ve pursued my dream career and am grateful to do what I love for a living. Not many people can actually say they’re obsessed with their jobs, and maybe even wake up in the morning and dread going to work. I love the transformations that I get to create by enhancing people’s brows as a brow artist, and even with switching up their hair or giving them their dram hair as a hair and bridal stylist.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
The Brow Corner is innovative. Our focus in the permanent makeup industry is the HEALED results. Not only do we create various super natural techniques to enhance and perfect brows, but our ultimate goal is people’s HEALED results, as that’s not often talked about, looked at, or researched when the potential client is searching for their brow artist. We want our readers and microblading researchers to know that in our hands, we will ensure that your brows will always look very natural. Continuing education is key and a must for us, which has helped shape our knowledge and skills.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
If my best friend came to visit my area, which is west Houston, we’d have a good tour of fun. Pop strokes opened up not too long ago, and is so much fun and very different from Top golf. We’d definitely go to Katy Asia Town, go to my favorite ramen place of all time, which is Three Little Pigs. Spa World would be a must to have a relaxing hang out, massages, and some fun karaoke time as well.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
One person I’d love to give a huge shoutout to is Alexandra Fuselier, who is an amazing brow artist for our company. As I started growing The Brow Corner, the past five years have been a lot of hard work, dedication and consistency in perfecting our craft and really pushing ourselves to stand out in the permanent makeup industry. When Alexandra first started with us a few months ago, she came in really showing how hard she’d been working on her craft, emphasized her desire to push and perfect everything brows and permanent makeup, and to this day continues to show the kind of team member one can dream of to make your company super successful. Not so much because it is my company, but because my dream for my company is to have team members who feel valued, empowered, and feel all the capacity to grow alongside you, not just for you. We share the same work ethic, the attention to detail we put into our canvas, and her genuine spirit is what completes the amazing, and super natural talented woman that she is.
