About Mireya Villarreal
Mireya Villarreal, a passionate visionary, has her creative roots deeply embedded in her early career as a stylist in her mother's modest hair salon. Inspired by the arrival of her daughter, Mireya embarked on an incredible journey, shifting her focus to crafting exquisite hair accessories and ultimately evolving this endeavor into a thriving international beauty brand.
Her journey is a testament to the American dream, as she is the daughter of Mexican immigrants who ventured to the United States to chase their aspirations. Raised amidst the world of entrepreneurship, unwavering work ethics, and boundless creativity, she acquired the essential tools to turn her ideas into realities, to see "yes" as the only answer, and to embrace her uniqueness.
"Find your passion, and overdrive it."
"I would get approached by salon professionals at beauty shows around the globe who would ask me how I was able to start from a small 600 square foot salon to growing an international beauty brand. I would simply tell them my story, hoping that I could inspire them to reach for their dreams."
"Now, it's time to share my story with the world."
Mireya initiated her empowerment campaign to convey her journey of success and failures, serving as a wellspring of motivation for others. Her story, originating from humble beginnings and extending to colossal success, is riveting, transparent, and deeply empowering. Mireya shares not only her personal and business principles but also her roadmap to success. What sets her apart is her willingness to open up about her failures and how she resolutely rebuilt her life when she was on the verge of giving up.
Mireya offers a "real" perspective on what success, sacrifice, and failure truly entail. In today's fast-paced world, where social media often portrays an idealized version of everyday life, Mireya strives to inspire others by providing a genuine, behind-the-scenes glimpse into the life of an entrepreneur, mom, and wife.
As an active board member of the Cosmetologists Chicago, Mireya generously devotes her time to help nurture America's Beauty Show in Chicago and support the aspirations of future salon professionals as they embark on their journeys into the beauty industry.
"Don't let your situation change who you are. Ever."
