J o i n at a s so c iate d h a i rp rofe s sio n a ls .c o m 53 advertisement Brittany Boggs-Hutchison Elite Stylist @Brit_faith Inspiration: I get the opportunity to work on and with great people every day, and they truly inspire me to be the best I can be. The diverse relationships I cultivate allow me to be my most authentic self. Ulta love: Ulta has so many great benefits and offers unique opportunities within the beauty industry. With all the different growth opportunities at Ulta, you can take on roles in management, education, or even working with our Pro Team. At Ulta, you're in control of your career path! Advice for professionals who feel stuck: Reflect on when you were brand new, or talk to a young stylist and listen to what inspires them. If you don't do curly hair, take a class. If you have never done a fashion color, grab a mannequin and try it. Jennifer (JT) Cassese Services District Leader @mkubeautiful Inspiration: My inspiration is serving others. There is such beauty in the feeling that you helped someone see something in themselves they couldn't see—or even just share some joy. The beauty industry is all about that human connection. Ulta love: I began thinking about longevity, benefits, and the security I needed, so I relocated to a new state and left behind 15 years' worth of clients. It was scary, but exhilarating. What made me love Ulta is the ability to build clientele so rapidly, the business-building education provided, and the built-in clientele. Advice for new professionals: First, take advantage of all the education out there now. Second, master your consultations. Finally, sharpen your business-building skills through retention and rebooking. A new guest is a gift! Natalie Caldwell Benefit Arch Expert @Natalie_taylor24 Inspiration: Growing up, I was treated differently and teased for the way I looked. That's why I wanted to be a part of the beauty industry—to make sure everyone I work with is confident in their own skin. I believe in inclusivity for everyone—no matter your size, physical features, hair color, or ethnicity. Ulta love: I love Ulta because of my amazing managers and coworkers, and I love the slogan "The Possibilities are Beautiful." Having a positive outlook creates a positive outcome. Being kind and genuine always creates a wonderful environment. Ulta creates that type of workplace. Advice for professionals who feel stuck: Never underestimate the importance of your surroundings in the workplace. If the workplace is happy, you tend to be more satisfied.
