Beauty Basics Founder

After 3+ years of growing my family in Minden, I created Beauty Basics in 2016 with a goal to bring my work and family life together.

Changing the narrative in business and creating a safe & supportive work environment became my new goal and I have never looked back. 

Nearly a decade later later, Beauty Basics has tripled in size, has a team of 10 talented women, is thriving, and has become a happy place for so so many people. 

I look forward to seeing you!
