Meet Beauty Smith of Downtown Saint Petersburg

Today we’d like to introduce you to Beauty Smith.

Hi Beauty, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
As a multifaceted salon artist, educator, and celebrity stylist, I specialize in color, extensions, and transformative looks. My expertise extends to being an extension specialist, particularly adept at addressing hair loss concerns. With a focus on crafting personalized and impactful transformations. Post-academy, I recognized the increasing demand for extension expertise, understanding that age, hormonal imbalances, bad haircuts, and chemical damage often necessitate additional solutions for clients. Devoting years to the mastery of extension techniques, I became a seasoned expert, uniquely equipped to bring clients’ diverse hair goals to life with precision and dedication. Proudly holding degrees from Paul Mitchell and a background as a MAC Cosmetics artist, my commitment to excellence is unwavering. Fast forward years later, I’ve gracefully evolved into a distinguished celebrity hairstylist and proud extension salon owner.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The journey in salon ownership has definitely not been an easy one but it’s still so rewarding. You have to just push through. There have been many obstacles along the way from
Start up costs, pandemic shut down, searching for grants and funding to help during transition or hardships, weathering hurricane damages, searching for the right employees etc it’s all just apart of business. Being able to stay resilient, pivot, and adapt.

Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I specialize in color, extensions, and transformative looks. My expertise extends to being an extension specialist, particularly adept at addressing hair loss concerns. I also specialize in all textures.

While I love making short hair longer and fuller making women feel prettier than ever before. Hair Replacement has been my new found love it’s such a rewarding feeling to give confidence back to women who have completely lost it. I used to get hugs and smiles after services now I get tears of joy and squeezes so tight the feeling lingers for weeks. Making a positive impact is what I’m most proud of and it keeps me going.

What do you like and dislike about the city?
I like the combination of city life and beach life I can walk to the Pier and have lunch on the water or picnic in the park while watching a play or go out dancing it’s just as calm and quite as it is exciting there’s always something to do and people to meet.

The heavy traffic drives me bonkers I’d have to say I like that, not.
