Meet Mariah — Owner & Founder of Blissful Beauty Salon & Spa
Hiiii Friends!!!!
My name is Mariah, owner & founder of Blissful Beauty.
The concept of Blissful Beauty Salon & Spa has been a dream I’ve been manifesting for many years, and I want to introduce myself!
I’m a Michigan native and grew up in a small country town. While I loved growing up there, I always knew I wanted a more extensive community where my business could thrive. I also realized I needed more sunny, warm days (Michigan winters drag on FOREVER). I am destined for the South and LOVE where I landed, here on Hilton Head Island.
Since I was little, beauty has been my passion, but I never imagined it could be a career and that I would have my very own hair salon! Initially, I had a path set to attend Douglas J Aveda for Cosmetology school and get my license, then have a salon room out of my house and do hair with also going back to school to become a nurse or radiologist and continue doing friends and families hair. Thankfully the medical field didn’t pan out, because being in the beauty industry full time is where I am meant to be. Everything happens for a reason!
I did follow through with attending Douglas J Aveda and realized it was my calling to be in this industry fully. During this time, my obsession with vision boards started, and I made my dream a reality. Opening Blissful Beauty has been front and center for seven years now, and as everyone states, their business is like their child; mine definitely is, and I am so proud of it and myself.
After school I landed at a salon near my hometown being able to learn so much about the process of building a clientele, opening a salon and the things that come with it, after that salon I ultimately ended up at another salon back in my hometown. There, I made lifelong friendships and really got to learn and grow in the industry. I wish that whole team of girls was here with me now...
Opportunities popped up that I jumped on, and I was able to invest in my education. Traveling nationwide, I attended certifications for eyelash extensions and lash lift & tint. Additionally, I obtained certifications for hair extensions, as well as indulged in classes about balayage techniques, blonding, all-over enhancing color, and various methods of cutting techniques. My ultimate goal is to always be “in the know” with the beauty industry so I can perfect any new process or technology. Making clients feel beautiful and confident is of utmost importance to me!
While seizing any opportunity to perfect my craft, I became a Lash Instructor. Empowering other beauty professionals has become something I’m very passionate about, and I host classes as often as possible. Courses I host include Lash Lift & Tint, Brow Laminations, Classic Lash Extensions, and Safety Protocols & Industry Trends.
Needing a change of scenery and to be out of the cold I started to research where my industry did best resulting in Dallas, Texas or Scottsdale, Arizona. I had trips booked to both areas to check it out to potentially live there and I also had a trip before visiting my Dad in Georgia. When visiting he took me to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina for a beach day then said it was where I am going to move too, and work and I proceeded to get 3 Job offers. Ever since I have moved here my life has simple been a dream and everything, I could imagine falling into place simply has. I am so blessed and grateful for all of the opportunities sent my way.
I’m thankful to have you be a part of the beginning of this incredible journey of opening Blissful Beauty. I take pride in creating a welcoming environment for both guests and colleagues as I have put my heart and soul into this beautiful space. I feel so at ease and light here at Blissful Beauty. I will go to any length to have our clients leave the chair feeling beautiful, confident, and radiant. It is so important to me to be here to help my community and spread all the positivity and self-confidence.
