Hidden Gems: Meet Dakota Wilson of Luminary Look

Today we’d like to introduce you to Dakota Wilson. 

Hi Dakota, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today.
Before I went to beauty school, I used hair styling services as a way to help people recognize their beauty. Hair transformations have always been highly valued in my life. There are many things in this world I do not enjoy spending my time doing, so I have always used my gifts as a way to bargain. All through middle school and high school, I woke up a 5 am to style my sister’s hair, and she would spend her evenings doing my homework and cleaning my room. I believe I got to where I am today because I love people, and I want more people to enjoy and express the way they feel through their Image. I am all about the final result and I will do whatever I need to do to get there. 

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?
My journey has been a rocky road, but my friends tell me I make it look easy. That means a lot to me, considering all the emotions I go through every day. Most of my past struggles stemmed from running away from my problems instead of facing them head-on. I thought my life would be easier somewhere warmer and pretty. That’s not true. Life is hard no matter where you end up. The goal is to have better problems than yesterday. I have a lot of dreams, and I often feel that I should have done them yesterday. I wouldn’t change the way I am because I get things done, and that makes me proud that I have lived a full life already. Beauty industry struggles are improving every year. Customers used to no show, and there would be no reproductions for the client and wasted time of the stylist. Now there are websites that require deposits and card information. People often neglect they way they look because they listen to people who call them selfish. I believe all my customers are so powerful because they take control of their own lives and love themselves. 

Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Luminary Look?
Sexy is a state of mind. If you do not believe you are beautiful or worthy of the beauty you hold no service can help you. You need to look within and own the way you WANT to look. You cannot ask your mom, sister, friend, or coworkers if they like your style because their opinions do not matter. Your opinion matters. My business is created for those who love luxury. The queens who want to stand out and are not fazed by the sly comments of the world. Hair extensions and lash extensions are designed for women who want to add length and or volume. My clients are women and range from age 16 – 100+. If you think you are too old to rock a fabulous look… ask yourself, “have I been given this much life to live it boring?” I don’t think so. Here are a few looks to choose from when it comes to lashes. Classic more natural looks, hybrid reaching for a more full look, and volume (the nobody can tell me nothing look). Hair extensions opportunities are limitless. You can go from pretty to baddie, normal to healthy, and sad to happy. You hold the keys… so hand me over and let me help you unlock your dream hair & lashes. 

Before we go, is there anything else you can share with us?
Life is too short to not be happy. Love the way you look. Feel all the good feelings. I offer my top 3 guests unlimited packages for 6 months and one year so they can book their appointments without thinking so hard about the price.
