I am Brand D. Professional licensed hair stylist and makeup artist. I've always been into beauty, so it only felt right to pursue my career in the beauty industry as a Cosmetologist. I began my journey in this field back in 2008. At the time I wasn't really motivated to be in school for hair or makeup. I did it because it was something that came easy to me and just knew I would get through it and be on my way to being a stylist. But after only putting in 473 credit hours of work, I left and chose to work in retail. I managed fashion retail stores like Ashley Stewart and DOTS. But after seven years of working a REGULAR 9-5, dealing with too many personalities; I just couldn't take the HEADACHE anymore. I was too young to be under so much pressure and stress to try to please 'over worked and under paid' higher management. I soon realized this is not the path for me; agreed I enjoy being helpful to the public, I love the conversations with random people on a daily
