Check Out Marla Gricell’s Story

Today we’d like to introduce you to Marla Gricell.

Hi Marla, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
Growing up in Simi Valley, California, in a Spanish-speaking household with parents from Guadalajara, Mexico, I discovered my love for makeup in high school, where I quickly became the go-to artist for my peers. This passion evolved into a specialization in bridal makeup, prompting me to attend aesthetic school. There, I fell in love with skincare, brows, and lashes, which fueled my desire to open my own studio.

Over two years, I juggled three jobs, dedicating countless hours to build my dream. My journey has been fueled by creativity and determination, as I poured my heart and soul into this business. I am proud of my accomplishments and strive to inspire others who face challenges in their pursuit of success. I believe that with hard work and resilience, anyone can achieve their dreams.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
