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

Hi Jessica, what habits do you feel play an important role in your life?
Habits that I feel helped me succeed with my business is being on time, loyal, faithful, and always ready to fulfill my clients needs.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
In this journey of being a professional braider I have faced a lot of obstacles and attitudes. You must have self control and a positive outlook to be able to deal with people daily and you must be a people person In order to deal with the public. No everyday is not easy but I get up everyday with the mind set and strong ambition that I will succeed. In order to build your brand Ive learned you must promote yourself and put your all into your business and clientele. Nobody is going to promote you better than you, and when you give it your all your work will speak out loud for you. It is with great pleasure that I am able to make someone else feel Beautiful in my daily journey. It is my goal to make my clients feel safe and welcome when they walk thru the door. At the end of the day I tell myself you go girl, job well done! As a long my clients are happy I’m happy because they are what matter to me the most.

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?
I really don’t hang out in the big city of Dallas but I’d probably take a friend to hang out downtown for a little fun outside entertainment, maybe the selfie bar, and then do a little spa day.

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?
I would like to dedicate my shout out to my #1, my wonderful mother who has always been my back bone and supporter in everything that I do. My mother has always taught me to be a hard worker and strive for everything I want in life. Of course my clients the ones who keep me in business big thanks to you for keeping my doors open. Also my wonderful spouse and children for always supporting and encouraging me to always try different things to be successful with my business.
