What was the inspiration behind the name *Styles By Brittany*?
Being that I am a Hair Doctor and Make-up Artist, there are so many different looks that can be created from imagination thus hinting the name Styles By Brittany… It is not a company more of a brand! I don’t want
people calling my whole name so I am StylesByBrittany.
What made you decide to become a hair stylist and makeup artist?
I started braiding hair before styling. I did my first set of individuals when I was 12 on my best friend at the time. They were not bad but I saw what I would change the next time. Experimenting on my Family and close friends I became good with a natural talent. I had my own braiding business by the time I was 14 and neighbors would pay me to braid their hair and their daughters. Although HAIR was not my first choice for a career, I always had in the back of my mind I would go back to cosmetology school and open my own shop. My sophomore year of college pursuing a career in Respiratory Therapy, my grades started dropping and my concentration decreased for the subjects. I’m more hands on. So I enrolled in Empire Beauty School where I won over 10 Awards in different
competitions including Long Hair Wedding Design which I turned into an avante garde style, Color Me Bad where I did an array of colors, Artistic Makeup and many others. I am most proud about going to Hershey, Pennsylvania and competing against over 120 other schools in Artistic Makeup. Although I did not win my category, my scores contributed to the TOTAL TEAM AWARD which my school proudly display a huge trophy in the entrance. It was not until beauty school that I developed a natural talent for makeup. Since then I have participated in fashion shows and alter ego photo shoots perfecting my love for the crafts.
Where do you get the inspiration for your work?
Thanks to God and my handsome son Zymir. StylesByBrittany is a mixture of what my clients want with a twist, My imagination.
Do you specialize in any specific type of hair/ makeup?
Hair is my main love but I am cheating with makeup, the best of both worlds (Ha ha ha ha!). When it comes to makeup I like bold, bright, eye catching makeup. I like to focus more on the eyes to bring out that inner beauty including brows and lashes. When it comes to hair, I specialize in cut, color, extensions, and most importantly the health of natural hair. I like soft styles that flow with movement.
