Check Out Jade Lucas’s Story

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jade Lucas

Hi Jade, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
When I was in highschool, I knew I had a love for cosmetology when the girls on my cheer team would ask me to do their makeup for competitions or even school dances! When I graduated, I attended university for a year. After, I moved back to my hometown and started at the community college. I didn’t mind college but it wasn’t for me. Ive always loved making people feel good about themselves & that’s when I decided that cosmetology school was my calling. I started cosmetology school in July of 2024 and I knew I was doing the one thing I loved most!

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Oh there were definitely some struggles! I was only in school for about two weeks before we experienced a building fire. We lost everything. Our building, mannequins & personal items. Going through this situation first hand was hard because I was finally doing the thing that I loved most. The staff did a great job keeping us as updated as possible but they didn’t know much either. It was hard for us as students & It was just hard for them as staff. After 5 long months, we’re finally back in school. Were unfortunately not in the same building, but that’s okay! We’re back in classes again & learning our new normal!

Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
Im working on becoming a cosmetologist! I plan to specialize in vivid hair color, makeup artistry & eyelash extensions! As of right now in my journey, I’m most proud of taking the leap to pursue the career path that I love! I think the thing that sets me apart from others is my devotion & my positive attitude! I’m very confident with the career path I chose & that means I’ll have confidence when doing your hair and makeup!

We’re always looking for the lessons that can be learned in any situation, including tragic ones like the Covid-19 crisis. Are there any lessons you’ve learned that you can share?
I’ve learned to be myself and not base myself around what others think, say or do.
