Meet Regina Marie

We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Regina Marie. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Regina below.

Hi Regina , so happy to have you on the platform and I think our readers are in for a treat because you’ve got such an interesting story and so much insight and wisdom. So, let’s start with a topic that is relevant to everyone, regardless of industry etc. What do you do for self-care and how has it impacted you?

Self-care and hair extensions actually go hand in hand, especially because we have seen it time and time again after each install appointment. For my clients, investing in high-quality extensions allows them to look and feel their best without the daily hassle of lengthy styling routines. This aligns with self-care by saving them time, reducing stress, and giving them a sense of empowerment when they feel confident in their appearance.

On my end, providing extensions as part of my business is a form of self-care too. Seeing clients light up with confidence from a fresh set of extensions is incredibly fulfilling and fuels my passion. It reminds me of the importance of the work I do—not just in transforming hair but also in uplifting clients, which keeps me motivated and centered in my purpose. Plus, when I feel my best, I’m able to bring that positive energy into my work, making the entire experience even better for my clients.

Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?

At Extension Arts, we specialize in creating transformative hair extensions that enhance our clients’ natural beauty while offering them a boost of confidence. What excites me most is helping clients achieve their dream hair in a way that feels authentic to their personality and style. Each extension experience is highly customized to meet individual needs, and my team and I are dedicated to providing a seamless, luxurious service from start to finish.

We plan on expanding our brand to other states including Miami and New York while adding in a hair and product line of our own. This is what fuels us everyday.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

Communication – Learning to communicate well with clients, employees, and your partner is essential. Regular check-ins and active listening go a long way in building trust and a positive work environment.
Mental and Physical Health – Balancing business with self-care keeps you energized and resilient. Set boundaries and prioritize health to stay at your best.
Ongoing Education – Staying updated on hair extensions and fashion trends keeps your brand fresh. Set learning goals and stay curious to keep growing and leading in your field

For those early in their journey, I’d suggest focusing on these areas early, as each of them supports not only professional growth but also the strength of your business partnerships.

Who has been most helpful in helping you overcome challenges or build and develop the essential skills, qualities or knowledge you needed to be successful?

Hands down my husband, Derek. He is my life partner turned business partner. he has pushed me in more ways than this business ever could. He has seen my potential for eight years and even became part owner in 2020 because he believed in my vision so much. To be successful, you really need someone to believe in you as much as you believe in yourself, I feel so lucky to have not only his support but our kids as well.
