This week, on the blog, I'm telling you my story: why and how I got into business, my future projects, and what's next for me.
Not being much of a social networker, I wanted to share my journey with you.
How it all began:
Before taking the plunge, I worked as a secretary. At the same time, in 2008, I trained as a nail technician, at first like everyone else, to supplement my income. it became clear to me that I'd found my calling.
Contract over, I'm off on this adventure that gives me this spirit of independence.
And YES, like everyone else, I started out as a home mechanic and then set up a room in my house.
In 2010, I took part in an eyelash extension training course (I must admit that after the course, I wasn't really sure I wanted to continue in this direction). With practice and perseverance, I loved it!!!!!!! and that's how it all started!
Roxils:
Always on the lookout for something new, I can still see myself looking for an idea, the idea that would allow me to evolve even further.
And in 2014 the idea of creating the Roxils brand came to mind!
Why? the difficulty of sourcing quality eyelash extensions without paying exorbitant prices. I used to get my supplies in France or Holland, which wasn't easy to manage, so I thought of a few things that would make my work easier, but also make it easier for everyone else in my situation (and that's how Roxils was born:
1 person and 1 idea.
I then tested several products, having already been in the business since 2010, I knew the products well and what I was looking for for my customers, I knew that others would too.
So I worked for months on this project, with the help of my mom and my brother on the computer side. Then, little by little, Roxils became a success.
The brand has been around for 4 years now, and thanks to all the people who have placed their trust in us, we're still evolving and looking for the best products at competitive prices.
Now, in 2019, Roxils has expanded - we have several distributors, several product ranges that touch on the look and the skin.
What difficulties do I encounter?
As a small company, it's hard to keep up with the international competition, but Roxils has more than one eyelash in its bag!
WITH OVER 150 PRODUCTS, it's not always easy to manage production delays, but we always try to have as much stock available as possible.
My tips for getting started:
First of all, nothing is impossible when you're working, you just have to forget your pleasures to get where you want to be.
If you have a good product or a good service, success will come.
By this I mean that you can invest in the most beautiful institute in the world if you don't offer a good service or product, you won't last in the long term.
Be careful, but be daring, and above all, offer quality!
My future projects:
I've now decided to stop treating customers and devote myself solely to the evolution of the brand.
As some of you know, I've always dreamed of living in the sun, so I decided to spend a few months on the island of Jamaica to start the adventure all over again.
I'll post you some evolution pictures, wish me luck!
Of course Roxils continues in Belgium, with the whole team in Liège and the other sales outlets in Belgium.
