Today we’d like to introduce you to Dione Harrison.
Hi Dione, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstories with our readers?
Hi! I am Dione Harrison. I am a wife, mother of three beautiful children, a full-time employee, and an entrepreneur. My journey as an entrepreneur is far from a fairytale story.
As with any struggling newbie in the business world, I too had my fair share of business ventures that went bust. I had to give up on some because 1) I didn’t have anyone to motivate me and 2) I simply lacked experience and it would have been great if I had a mentor who’ll show me the ropes. Despite what I went through with my past ventures, I never really regretted any of them as those experiences became my stepping stone to where I am right now.
Well, fast forward to the present, I can confidently say that I have found my niche in microblading, and with my company, Pretty Dope Brows, I am on a mission to help those around me, especially women, to become the best version of themselves.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle-free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
I still have a lot to learn in this industry, much more as a businesswoman. Each day brings about a new obstacle with a new lesson learned.
However, each obstacle gets a little bit easier to tackle because of the prior knowledge I have obtained. Getting started can be hard but once your engine is running, it is all about the momentum.
Because of my own experiences, I realize how difficult it is to start something without a mentor to guide you. It is this reason why I believe it would be valuable to share some of my experiences and teach those who are on a mission to gain back their self-confidence and pursue financial freedom by starting their own businesses.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Pretty Dope Brows?
Pretty Dope Brows started as a passion project three years ago. It was born out of my fascination for eyebrows as a source of self-confidence and self-empowerment for women.
I thought it was a little too risky for me then, but I am proud to share that coming up with a business model centered on improving how eyebrows appear is one of the greatest decisions I have ever made.
Aside from offering microblading services and trainings, we also offer lash extensions and esthetician services such as facials and body waxing.
Before we let you go, we’ve got to ask if you have any advice for those who are just starting out?
Because of my own experiences, I realize how difficult it is to start something without a mentor to guide you.
I would recommend anyone who is interested in becoming a microblading artist is to find a mentor that can help guide you through the process and shortcut your way to success. Otherwise, you spend a lot of time making errors and having to start over. Trust me a mentor is worth every dime.
