Meet Kayla Prevost

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Kayla Prevost a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Kayla, we’ve been so fortunate to work with so many incredible folks and one common thread we have seen is that those who have built amazing lives for themselves are also often the folks who are most generous. Where do you think your generosity comes from?

My generosity comes from my mother. She’s the most generous and kind person I know. Personally I think generosity is more than just materialistic things, I believe that generosity is about how you show your love. It can be a ‘just thinking about you’ call, a kiss on the cheek, giving a compliment, or even just using your manners to make someone feel appreciated. I believe that generosity is something everyone needs to have to create a quality life for theirselves and the people around them. Thank you mom for showing me what generosity is.

Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?

I am a licensed aesthetician with a specialized focus on eyelash extensions. What I truly cherish about my work is the meaningful connections I build with my clients. They are more than just clients to me; they are my favorite people, and their presence makes each day go by faster, transforming my work into a passion rather than a job.

The foundation of my brand, Blessed by Kay, is inspired by the countless blessings I have received, especially in having the opportunity to own my own business. Through this venture, I have been able to foster meaningful relationships and empower women by helping them feel beautiful.

Looking ahead, I plan to expand my offerings by hosting more lash classes, traveling, and selling quality products. Additionally, I aim to broaden my services to encompass all beauty outlets, ensuring that we can serve and inspire every beautiful woman.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?

Reflecting on my journey, the three qualities that have had the greatest impact on my success are organization, customer service, and accountability. As an adult, these traits are undeniably important, but as a business owner, they are absolute game-changers. Without these qualities, it becomes difficult to build and maintain trusting relationships with clients, stay organized, and preserve your mental well-being. Additionally, they are crucial for sustaining a successful business, particularly if you plan to hire employees in the future.

For those considering a career in the beauty industry, my most valuable piece of advice is to be patient. Success doesn’t happen overnight. It requires a willingness to follow the necessary steps, even when things seem slow or when clients may come and go. Patience is key to refining your craft and ultimately reaching the point where you feel confident and established in your work.

To close, maybe we can chat about your parents and what they did that was particularly impactful for you?

The most impactful thing my parents have done for me was encouraging me to leave my corporate job and pursue my passion by becoming a licensed aesthetician. They even contributed financially by covering half of my tuition, which alleviated a significant financial burden. I am incredibly grateful for their support and belief in my dreams.
