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

Hi Nalani, have you ever found yourself in a spot where you had to decide whether to give up or keep going? How did you make the choice?
There in no discussion on whether you should keep going or give up! Simply because there is no giving up, you never stop chasing your dreams. At what seemed the lowest time of my life, there were plenty of time where I wanted to give up! I did not want to pursue my dreams, I didn’t want to keep my mind and body in the healthiest form it could have been in , but I knew I’d be more upset with myself if I had let the odds beat me. Why are you giving up? What are the pros of giving up? Resentment, no money, not being happy? Everything starts off hard, life is HARD, but being broke is even harder! You do not ever give up, you plan , you study, you listen, you practice and you master everything you do in life to make yourself happy!

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I consider my current service of being an Lash tech , my art. I mean have you seen my work? My personality sets me apart from a lot of techs I have came across, when you lay on my table you are now in a free zone. In Angel’s World you’re free to talk about anything! At this morning I am most excited about my future, everything I want is already mine. Over the past few years I have definitely had my lows even now I have less busy weeks, but that’s just life.. it’s never just crazy easy. I’ve learned that in the beauty industry you DO NOT compare yourself to others! Your work is not the next persons, your only competition is yourself. Everybody should know that Angel’s World is more than just lashes, it’s a brand with a bright future, it was my light in the tunnel when I thought I’d never reach the end of it , it was my .. it is my victory lap.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
A fun weekend in the city… for drinks and food my first place is Vidorra in Deep Ellum! I love to brunch so First watch is definitely the place for that & Sunday funday is the all time fav!! I like to spend my Fridays at Dior Fridays hosted by cozy! My Saturdays at vidorra & Sunday a lot of bar hopping! From Turkey Dam, Turkey paradise, Harris House of Heroes & Crab house.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
In my life, I give God the most credit! I tend to walk by faith and not by sight and God never fails me! My circle is very small but they mean the world to me, from my parents, sister, and my friends that have turned into family I could not be more thankful! So shoutout to the most high and my current call log lol !
