Meet Dequarius Nelson | Personal Stylist

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

Hi Dequarius, how does your business help the community?
My business helps the community and the world by giving people the confidence they don’t know they have. Personal appearance is an essential in everyones life because the way you dress impacts how you are perceived. So by helping people build their style it not only provides that confidence boost but, it also builds an individual self esteem to make a person feel good.

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.
Being a stylist, I help with fashion advice and help people create looks so they can be confident and stand out from the crowd. I also love to make people feel good about themselves. I provide personal shopping for people as well, which removes the stress of spending hours and hours in the mall trying to find an outfit. What sets me apart from others is that I’m not afraid to be different and I think outside the box when it comes to putting together outfits. I’m also very versatile with the different types of fashion and looks. For example, like streetwear, vintage style, formal wear, etc. What i am most proud of is my growth. Being that I handle everything on my own I have learned a lot and I continue to learn more every single day. Even though people think it comes easy to me I still run across a couple challenges when learning peoples personalities, styles and what people preferences are, because everyone is different in their own way. Although it may be challenging at times, I still overcome them by putting the self doubt to the side and trusting my vision. .

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If my bestfriend was visiting for the week i would make sure I try my best to show him a good time. I would take him on some outings with me while i go styling some of my clients. This would give him a chance to see what my day consist of when I’m styling. Mid week I would hit up a good sports bar and catch some of the games that’s going on at the time. This way we have some time to catch up on each others lives. Friday night we will then hit the bowling alley with some of our other friends and family. Maybe turn it into a competition to make it more interesting. Saturday morning we would head to a good brunch spot. I love going to Dahlia on Ross. That’s a good chill spot to have brunch, The scenery is great. I know we both have talked about skydiving so later that Saturday we would hit SkyDive in Plano. That’s another activity where we can include some of our other friends. THen Saturday night of course we will hit the clubs. It just depends on what club is jumping at the time in order for us to determine where we will go. But whenever we hang out and hit the clubs we always get turnt. We are the life of the party always. Sunday I would hit the malls to do a little shopping and help him get some fits in before he head back home. I know the entire week that he is here we will make the most of it and make sure we kick it and enjoy our time.

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 want to shoutout my mom, family and friends. They make sure I stay on my Ps and Qs. Whenever I get discouraged they always tell me to stop doubting myself and go harder. They remind me daily that the talent is in me and I have to continue to work hard and those major doors will open.
