Meet Versace Parham

Today we’d like to introduce you to Versace Parham.

Versace, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
Sophomore year of college, I made the decision to put my eggs in my favorite basket, and go to esthetics school. It was definitely one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! In 2018, I graduated from Miller-Motte highly motivated and focused, all to later find out I was pregnant.

It was a shock to me, and at that time, I thought focusing on motherhood would be best, and decided to take a break from it all. Two years into a vicious loop of dead-end jobs had pushed me to my wit’s end, and suddenly that old flame had been reignited. I applied for my first esthetics job and secured the position.

It felt like it was a big step in the right direction. Another year had gone by, and I decided eyebrows were my calling. With no plan and very little money, I made the initiative to start my own business. I bought a spa table, a wax pot, some brow sticks, and strips and that is how VP Esthetics was born.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Running a business is no walk in the park, and anyone saying otherwise probably isn’t putting in the work. There are times when business is great, and then the next week I’m hardly booked.

Let’s not forget all the money you spend trying to make more money. Take the time to master your craft by discovering new techniques, buying quality equipment, attending seminars, promoting your trade, and keeping track of finances. It’s exhausting.

I literally quit my 9-5 thinking I’d have more free time, only to find out I’d be working 24/7.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I am an esthetician and the owner of VP Esthetics. My business specializes in full body waxing and eyebrow embellishments.

I’d say henna brows are definitely what I’m known for and it’s easily one of my favorite things to do. However, I am a lover of all brow services. I think that’s what sets me apart from others. I actually love my job. I love the people. I’m always wanting to know more. I just love it, it’s a passion for me.

Not just an income.

We all have a different way of looking at and defining success. How do you define success?
I’ll know I’ve reached success when other people are asking me how I accomplished all that I have. Being successful means being in a position to build other people up.

When I am someone else’s inspiration, I’ll know I’ve reached success.
