We had the good fortune of connecting with Latoya Taylor and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Latoya, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
My thought process behind starting my own business was I wanted to innovate something in my industry that no one else has started. The beauty and fashion world.

What should our readers know about your business?
I am not only a full service salon offering makeup and professional imaging but an artist. This sets me a part from a lot of business because I am a creative in the business world. Is it easy, not at all. I’ve had to overcome the challenges of balancing work l, personal health challenges and being a single mom while in addition running a business. I’ve learned that it’s okay to say no and everyone that you’d like to come with you cannot. I would like for the world to know that my brand is still only at the beginning.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I love the downtown area. Watts and ward, House of Art. The Art Museum and Science Museum. That’s a trio within itself. I’m still learning my city because I’ve just relocated back but downtown Raleigh definitely has a few nice spots.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I’ve accepted the help of a couple of mentors that have believed in my dream. I appreciate the ones that have always helped when most needed without looking for anything in return. It takes a great team to run a successful business.
