Huaka Lashes and Body has been my passion since day one, a business I started with a dream to enhance beauty and self-confidence. But as I navigated the peaks and valleys of entrepreneurship, a turning point reshaped my perspective and priorities. Being diagnosed with Crohn’s disease was a humbling experience that brought me face-to-face with my faith and reliance on God. Today, my Christian beliefs stand at the forefront of my business, guiding every decision I make and every interaction I have with my clients, team, and community. This blog shares how my journey of faith became the foundation of Huaka Lashes and Body, the core values it instills, and the impact it has on our mission to serve with love and integrity.
My Journey: Building a Business and Finding Purpose in Faith
Starting Huaka Lashes and Body was a dream I chased with unwavering passion. I envisioned a place where beauty wasn’t just a look, but a feeling—where each client left feeling a little more empowered, a little more confident. Building the business was challenging, but I poured myself into it, feeling motivated by the difference I was making.
But, even as I experienced successes, I felt a growing realization that there was something deeper I was meant to embrace. I believe God uses life experiences to shape us, to lead us closer to His purpose. Little did I know that I would soon face a challenge that would reshape my entire approach to life and business.
Embracing Faith After Adversity: The Role of Crohn’s Disease in My Spiritual Journey
When I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, it felt like my world came crashing down. Suddenly, I was not only balancing my business, family, and dreams, but also dealing with a life-altering illness. Crohn’s became a constant companion, challenging me physically, emotionally, and mentally. I was left questioning my strength, my resilience, and at times, even my purpose.
But in that dark season, I found myself turning to God more than ever before. My faith became my anchor. Through prayer, I found a strength I didn’t know I had. In moments of pain, I felt His presence comforting me, reminding me that I wasn’t alone. The words of Psalm 46:1, “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble,” took on new meaning for me. My illness taught me reliance on God in a way that nothing else could, and it transformed how I saw my role—not just as a business owner but as a servant of God, using my talents and experiences to make a difference in the lives of others.
How Faith Shapes Huaka Lashes and Body’s Core Values
Huaka Lashes and Body is now built on core Christian values that reflect my faith: integrity, kindness, and service. These are not just words; they’re guiding principles that influence every decision I make. I strive to create a space where everyone—clients, employees, and partners—feels respected and valued.
Integrity means that we operate transparently and honestly, treating every client fairly and honoring their trust in us. Kindness shapes our interactions, as I believe that every client should leave not only feeling beautiful on the outside but also uplifted in spirit. Service is a daily reminder that my work is not just about beauty but about touching lives in a meaningful way. Each appointment is an opportunity to serve someone, to be a light, and to show them God’s love through my actions and words.
A Mission Beyond Beauty: Serving Clients with Love and Purpose
For me, Huaka Lashes and Body is more than just a salon; it’s a ministry of sorts. I want clients to feel that they’re entering a place where they’re cared for in mind, body, and spirit. My faith calls me to be a vessel of encouragement, kindness, and understanding. Whether it’s through a warm welcome, a genuine conversation, or going the extra mile to make them feel special, my goal is to show clients that they’re valued beyond their appointments.
Serving clients with love means treating each individual with compassion and respect. I often reflect on Colossians 3:23, which says, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” This verse reminds me to approach my work wholeheartedly, as a way to honor God and bless others.
Keeping Faith at the Forefront Amid Business Challenges
The beauty industry is competitive, and maintaining a faith-centered business isn’t always easy. There have been moments when I’ve faced difficult choices and situations that tested my patience and values. But through these challenges, I’ve relied on prayer and reflection. In moments of uncertainty, I turn to the Bible for guidance, trusting that God’s wisdom will lead me in the right direction.
For example, when facing a difficult decision about pricing or managing a conflict with a client, I turn to my faith to ensure I’m acting with fairness and compassion. I’ve learned to apply grace, understanding, and forgiveness, even when it’s not easy. These values have become the pillars of how I handle every challenge, allowing me to lead Huaka Lashes and Body in a way that honors God and aligns with my beliefs.
Faith and the Future of Huaka Lashes and Body
As I look toward the future of Huaka Lashes and Body, I feel a renewed sense of purpose and calling. My vision is not just to grow as a business, but to grow as a source of encouragement and positivity in the lives of everyone we touch. I believe that through faith, Huaka Lashes and Body can inspire others to pursue their own dreams, to find strength in their own challenges, and to feel empowered by God’s love and grace.
I see the future as an opportunity to deepen our commitment to service, to continue improving the quality of our work, and to spread kindness and encouragement in every way we can. My prayer is that Huaka Lashes and Body will be a beacon of light, drawing people closer to their own faith and inspiring them to live out their purpose.
In Conclusion
