Valley Roots Studio

There’s probably another 1,560 laying around here somewhere 🙂‍↕️

I came across these practice pads while cleaning out a drawer today. I often get asked how I got into this - honestly I just wanted to get my own brows done, and then became obsessed with the beauty of a well-done hairstroke pattern. Not to be corny, but I could literally feel the passion taking root in my soul! So I signed up for a training and quit my well-paying corporate job to pursue this full time.

It was scary and I was broke, but now I’m 8 years and thousands of clients in, and I’m still in love with this craft! For those of you thinking of learning or getting your own brows done…

• It’s not easy, and will take hundreds and hundreds of hours of practice to master
• Permanent Makeup is not a “get rich quick” business
• Brows are not a side-hustle; they require singular dedication
• Good brows are expensive because you’re paying for years of unseen practice
• You should love doing brows so much that they’re all you think about!
• If you don’t feel this ^ way about brows, walking away is the right thing to do; don’t mess up people’s faces please.

I could really go on about brows forever, but I’ll end it here! Thanks for coming to my TedTalk 🙌
