Today we’d like to introduce you to Amy Johnson.
Hi Amy, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Since I was a little girl, I’ve always loved doing hair and make-up. On many different occasions, I had looked into going to cosmetology school at none other than Aveda. I didn’t finally go until I was 28, in 2011, and I loved it! At that time, I went through a tough time in my personal life, and because of that, it took me a long time to graduate, and I never really did anything with my license. My dreams of working in the beauty industry seemed to be over. Around 2014, I started hearing about permanent make-up, and I was instantly intrigued. I love tattoos and doing make-up, so it seemed like a perfect match. Starting your own business is very expensive, though, and I was scared I’d spend all the money on school and not do anything with it as I did in cosmetology school. In 2021, I finally took the plunge and had enough money to start my dream again. I researched different schools and apprenticeships. I decided on the MN Brow and Lash Academy. I have never second-guessed my decision. I love what I do, and my only regret is that I didn’t start sooner. I now have my suite inside “Infinite Beauty” in Brooklyn Park. I work with three amazing artists who are super talented.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
No, it hasn’t always been a smooth road. I started school and stopped a couple of times. I went through a tough time in cosmetology school, so it was hard to be there. I also dealt with addiction problems, and that got in the way of me being successful in hair. I had always dreamed of having a business, but I was always getting in my way. I got sober in 2017 and never looked back. I started saving money and was finally ready in 2021 to start school again, but this time for permanent make-up. I did my apprenticeship and started “Your Beauty Never Fades LLC” in 2022. I love what I do and couldn’t be happier with my career.
I appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I’m a permanent make-up artist. I do microblading and powder brows. I also tattoo eyeliner and lips.
