Today we’d like to introduce you to Taylor Silva.
Taylor, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
I am a small-town girl from Modesto and a cosmetologist. I found that if you enhance someone’s features with makeup or with hair color/cut that it makes such a huge difference on how someone can feel on the inside. Being able to do that for people radiated happiness from me to them and them to me. I found my passion!
Needless to say I knew I needed to go to a place where hair was more than just hair. I had only visited Los Angeles once when I decided it was meant for me. I put myself through school and worked as well to save money for the move and did so with no help… I moved to LA with no job and started from the bottom, the 99cent store was where I shopped for a long time and I worked on the west side and lived in the east, about an hour and a half drive there and back for four of those years but things did pick up, hard work paid off… Eight years later.. I am a successful woman working on ocean avenue in Santa Monica at the Saulino Smith Salon. It was a scary tough road but I’ve never looked back and it’s made me the woman I am today.
What else should our readers know?
I am a balayage specialist and color educator.
If you had to go back in time and start over, would you have done anything differently?
Persistency is the key.
