We thought we would have a chat with her and learn more about her journey into the beauty industry, building her business, coping through lockdown, and plans for the future.<\/p>\n<p id=\"537f\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\"><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--p-strong\">How long have you been working as a professional in the beauty industry?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"6fe7\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">I have been in the beauty industry for 6 years now. It has been such an amazing journey and I\u2019m so proud of how far I have come.<\/p>\n<p id=\"d77e\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\"><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--p-strong\">Can you describe your journey to becoming a freelance professional?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"8453\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">The opportunity for me to start my own business started just 2 years ago when I saw an ad in my area for a freelance makeup artist. I had always wanted to be my own boss and be creative in my own ways. I had previously worked in a salon, but I knew I was ready to take the next step.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7803\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">With 6 years of experience behind me, I felt it was the right time to put all my hard work into the future I had dreamed of, and I couldn\u2019t be happier where I am! I rent a space in a salon that is literally 5 minutes away from my home, so even more of a bonus! My business has grown strength to strength since I started in 2019.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1208\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\"><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--p-strong\">How did you initially discover <\/strong><a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hotpatch.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.hotpatch.com\/\"><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--p-strong\">HotPatch<\/strong><\/a><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--p-strong\">?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"8e5f\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">I first noticed <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hotpatch.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.hotpatch.com\/\">HotPatch<\/a> on Instagram (<a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/hotpatch_\/#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/hotpatch_\/#\">@hotpatch<\/a>_), and we got chatting, discussing their fantastic Patches, services, and ideas. I ended up helping out with a marketing idea of a set of custom <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hotpatch.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.hotpatch.com\/\">HotPatch<\/a> nails! I made 3 custom sets and sent them over. They have always been so supportive and helpful with any questions I had and always hyping up my business page with the best support!<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-163 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hotpatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/8.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"828\" height=\"817\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hotpatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/8.jpeg 828w, https:\/\/www.hotpatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/8-300x296.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.hotpatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/8-768x758.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 828px) 100vw, 828px\" \/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"4065\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--figure\"><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--p-strong\">Where do you work from? What do you look for when looking for a space to work from?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"95cd\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">I currently rent a space in a salon in my hometown. I have my own beauty room \/ makeup station \/ nail desk. The owner went above and beyond to help me start my business. The business grew so much that it expanded next door to accommodate all the clients and therapists needs! It\u2019s such an amazing place to be. The salon was just what I was looking for and the owner was the best support system in helping me get on my feet. We really are the best of friends now and I wouldn\u2019t have it any other way.<\/p>\n<p id=\"d7e2\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">When I was looking for a space to rent, I knew that I wanted somewhere close to home, friendly, had the space I needed, somewhere I knew my clients would love to visit, and that it was a safe space for my clients as they are my family.<\/p>\n<p id=\"c59a\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\"><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--p-strong\">What has lockdown meant for you and your business? Do you have any advice for coping with the lockdowns for other freelance professionals in a similar situation?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"2c67\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">Lockdown has been extremely tough for me along with many others. I will always remember my last working day in March 2020, packing my belongings up and making a joke to the owner, \u201cI\u2019ll see you in 2 weeks!\u201d Little did I know we wouldn\u2019t see each other until July! I had worked since the age of 15 and had never been off work. I didn\u2019t know what to do!<\/p>\n<p id=\"e647\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">I took my time to plan how I could improve my business, researched further training, and the very boring part of sorting my books out. I then decided to take the plunge into offering press on nails to try and make some extra money to help with bills and to help my clients have fantastic nails in the comfort and safety of their own home. It was a hit and I loved being creative again!<\/p>\n<p id=\"72c9\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">My advice would be to always try and remain positive and think of ways to keep your page active and keep in touch with your clients! I found they loved seeing what I\u2019d be getting up to, whether it be me upcycling furniture or that time I learned to bake\u2026 it really wasn\u2019t for me! But most importantly, remember, we\u2019re all in this together!<\/p>\n<p id=\"6273\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\"><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--p-strong\">You deliver a vast and impressive range of health and beauty treatments, from brow lamination to reflexology and all in between. What do you most enjoy practising?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"713f\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">I get this a lot when people look through my treatment list. I enjoy adding new, exciting treatments for my clients and to make sure I am constantly learning!<\/p>\n<p id=\"8e22\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">My aim is to make people feel good about themselves, whether that be having some date night nails or a treatment of reflexology and unwinding. If I had to choose my favourite treatment it would probably be either nails or brows, but I have to be honest, I love it all and it is hard to decide. There isn\u2019t any treatment I dislike. As long as the client walks out with a spectacular treatment \/service and is feeling good about themselves, I know I\u2019ve done my job!<\/p>\n<p id=\"c498\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\"><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--p-strong\">What\u2019s next for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"d90b\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">I have big plans for @<a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/kontouredbykatie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/kontouredbykatie\/\">kontouredbykatie<\/a>, including goals for this year and a ten-year goal. I will be adding lots of new, exciting treatments to my list and expanding my business and growing my social media following! A long-term goal is that I\u2019d love to bring out my own product one day!
