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

Hi Lu, let’s talk legacy – what do you want yours to be?
I want my legacy to remember as a happy fulfilled woman ! : ) I want my loved ones to remember that at my worst I keep looking for the bright sparkle within !

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I enjoy being a Makeup & Hair Artist !! I love that I get to be a part of all the magic that happens for a person’s special day that will last a lifetime !! I love getting to know people, their dreams and goal in life and I get to watch a glimpse of the excitement that goes all in to a magical day of their life ! The hardest part of getting started is the limited beliefs we have of what success will look like for us but after some great support, encouragement & deep digging it’s gets easier ! My greatest lesson in this environment was that everyone is unique in what they do ! I specialize in Quinceañeras and in doing that I got better at giving my clients the best customer service for their special day I learned that if they felt beautiful and confident it was going to reflect in their pictures ! Also connections that you build with other venders are a must you have no idea how one person can influence in your life and introduce you to more venders in this business! Overall I love building relationships with my clients they keep coming back to you if they had a good experience and it’s a win win !

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.
I am a part of a group of Salsa & Bachata dancers called Salsa in the Gardens so anywhere were there is music there’s joy ! So definitely every Sunday at the Downtown Fort Worth or if you follow our pages there’s always a friendly person that will post of a spot that we will be at for the week/weekend !

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
First most to my little inner girl ! Second to an organization called Pathways Core Training where I found my inner sparkle and started to believe in the endless possibilities of how life can unfold for the better with dedication & inspiration!
Last but not least my 3 handsome gentleman that I get to call children Angel, Alexander & Jeremiah who motivate me to be a better happy human being !
