Life, Values & Legacy: Our Chat with Dilayla Mena Adriano

We’re looking forward to introducing you to Dilayla Mena Adriano . Check out our conversation below.

Hi Dilayla , thank you so much for joining us today. We’re thrilled to learn more about your journey, values and what you are currently working on. Let’s start with an ice breaker: What is a normal day like for you right now?
A normal day for me right now looks like waking up early to make my husband lunch then I take an early morning hot mat Pilates class ! I come home to shower and get ready for my work day ! I try to record as much content I can throughout the day as well . Depending on my schedule I can either be home around 5 or 8pm it depends on my last service of the day ! I end my day checking messages and emails then enjoy winner with my husband .

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hi ! My name is Dilayla Mena Adriano, the face and owner of Skinn’D Aesthetics . I’m located in Phoenix Arizona . I have been a lash artist for 5 years and waxer for 1 year . I started back in 2020 during peek COVID , I was finishing up my medical assistant certification when the state closed down and I wasn’t able to work at my host job or school . I picked up the tweezers and haven’t dropped them since . I also recently added to my licenses and received my license in Aesthetics! I offer full body waxing such as Brazilians, underarm waxes, upper lip , legs, and etc ! Something that makes me unique is I’m one of the few artists and waxers in Arizona who offers 5am appointments at no extra charge . I understand with having 8-5 it can be hard to get a service done, I do not charge an extra fee unless it’s a later slot like a 9pm appointment. My place is a safe place for all my clients !

Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. Who were you before the world told you who you had to be?
I was going to school to be a nurse and that ended up not working out . I finished most of my prerequisites but I decided it was personally to hard for me to work and go to school full time on top of taking really hard classes ! I ended up finishing up as a medical assistant and worked at ASU for a year and lashing at the same time . I always wanted to help people , and I used to think the way I could would be in the medical route but now I know I’m helping others in another way ! I love being able to make others feel so good about themselves with either a simple wax or getting a full set of lashes .

If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
Relax sis , you’re really not that dumb for college . You are more artist that you know it! Everyone’s time line is different no need to have an exact time line

Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? Is the public version of you the real you?
Absolutely! How I am online or what I post is 1000% me to the core .

Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. When do you feel most at peace?
When I’m with my partner . I feel at peace when I’m with my husband . He is my backbone and because of him I went back to school and got my license! He really pushes me to be my best potential self .

Or after a killer hot mat Pilates class !
