Hi there,
My name is Mariah and I am the proud Owner of Confidence by Mariah Ashlen!
It has been a long time coming since I made the decision to launch a small business. It dates back to 2017 when I received my B.B.A in Management from the University of Texas at San Antonio (GO RUNNERS), and I found my first "big girl" job as a Project Manager Assistant for a construction company. During this time I was a recent graduate, a newly wed, and a graduate student pursuing an M.B.A. You're probably wondering how I went from the Construction industry to the beauty industry and the only answer I have is that while I enjoyed working in Project Management, I was not fulfilled in the slightest bit.
As I found myself going through the motions of a routine that lacked purpose, I realized I needed to make a change. All my life I had the desire to pursue a career in the beauty industry, and I believe this was stemmed from my passion to help build the confidence of others. However, I was always told a career in the beauty industry wouldn't be financially sustainable. Fast forward to 2020, the demand for beauty services was at an all time high and it gave me the boost I needed to take the leap and start my business.
Out of all the services I could offer, I found that I could help men and women feel confident in their skin through the sunless industry by providing them with a beautiful golden glow. Unlike other beauty services that focus on one area of the face or body, a spray tan is a full-body service that can have the biggest impact on an individual. It was evident I needed to become an expert in the industry, so I became a Master Certified Spray Tan Technician and have continued to expand my knowledge as the industry grows.
Confidence by Mariah Ashlen strives to build the confidence of clientele and understands the need for beauty services. My business now offers teeth whitening and will expand its service menu in 2023 once my Aesthetician License is obtained. There are so many great things coming and I hope I can serve you to feel your absolute best!
