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

Hi Celina, what led you to pursuing a creative path professionally?
Eyebrows are one the most important steps in any makeup routine. Eyebrows can truly transform the face. As a Microblading Artist, I help remove that hassle from my clients. Whether one has little to no eyebrows or needs to correct brow symmetry, I can do it all! I help my clients wake up and go with confidence!

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I began my beauty career in April 2018 shortly after leaving the Army.

I didn’t have a background in business, but I did have faith and that was the foundation I built my business on.

As an Army Veteran, I have exceptional attention to detail, and I am passionate about helping others.

I have always loved brows. When I discovered Microblading, it just felt right.

I love my craft and I pride myself on my ability to work with all skin types and tones. I love seeing how happy and confident my clients feel after I reveal their brows!

I believe that to run a successful business, you must be passionate about what you do. Passion is what allows you to push past hard times. You must value and appreciate your clients. Talent is important. Talent and professionalism are even more important.

I am grateful to be a part of the beauty industry and will continue leaving my mark two brows at a time.

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?
My favorite Dallas restaurants: El Palote Panadería

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 was able to take the skills I learned as an Army HR Specialist and apply them to my business. I run my salon and Microblading business on my own. There are a lot of moving parts and I take pride in how well I balance it all.
