Today we’d like to introduce you to Brandi Taylor.
Brandi, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
I have always had a passion for beauty and art. I have 13 years of experience in makeup artistry. After seven years of working as I makeup artist, I created a makeup artistry course. This led to speaking and teaching makeup workshops. I also offered private makeup lessons to everyday women. Teaching allowed me to scale my business.
In 2017, I founded the Detroit Business Beauty expo. I saw a need for business knowledge within the beauty industry. I created this event to educate, empower, and connect beauty pros, focusing on the business side of beauty. Helping with business structure, finance, customer service, marketing and branding and much more. After many successful events, I wanted to expand my reach. I created the Business Beauty Network Podcast in 2019. The podcast has allowed me to have this conversation with beauty experts around the world.
I have now shifted my business to coaching. I am a beauty business coach. I help beauty professionals amplify their business and take more action. I have a mastermind program and membership. It’s my goal to make an impact on the beauty industry and to help them reach their business goals.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Starting out as a makeup artist it was hard building my business and establishing consistent clientail. I made many shifts along the way, trying to figure out where I fit in. Later I realized that I didn’t have to fit in and I could be true to myself as an artist. Focusing on doing the style of makeup that I love to do and not comparing myself to another artist. Being true to myself is one of the things that helped me to later grow my business. In everything you do be true to you.
Business Beauty Network LLC – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?

I am proud of the impact my business has had for many beauty professionals who needed help within their business, whether it was from a live event, podcast or coaching. It is my mission to see more successful black owned beauty businesses.

What moment in your career do you look back most fondly on?
I love to see the results. As a makeup artist it was the finished look. Now as a business coach I love to see my clients implement the strategies I provide and see real results. I am most proud of my coaching program because part of my purpose is to push others into their purpose.
