This is what happened…

If someone was to tell me that I would be living the life of my dreams right now, I would of started my business way sooner! I used to drive around downtown Kansas City and watch people having coffee so calmed and peaceful on a regular week day afternoon. I wondered, what do they do to have such privilege when I had to make a request to have a regular week day off. As I am typing this down I cannot help but to be grateful for all the freedom I now have. It is Tuesday afternoon, I am building my website, working on my own time and working on my own projects. I can wear whatever I want, say whatever I want and I cannot help but to realize that this is the real beauty of life! FREEDOM!

As you read this I want you to be inspired and open to new possibilities, because one simple decision can change your life completely. I used to work for an insurance company for about six years, but hearing my supervisor tell me that I would not get a raise only because I had not gone to lunch on time created a wave of insane changes in my life. The first change was leaving that specific department, the second change was leaving the company! Girl, let me tell you, since that very moment, my life CHANGED forever. At the same time that I left the company, a world wide pandemic started and my plans for a better life were starting to look a little scary.

But one thing you should know about Ben Lopez, I never give up! I am the type of person that turns almost any negative situation into a positive. So there I was, stuck at home, with no job but a big DREAM. A strong boss woman once said to me, “Burn all your ships and never look back” so that’s what I did. I dove right into what some people call fear and started the path to opening my very first own business!

Has anybody ever told you, “ when you meet the right one, you will just know”? That is exsactly what happened to me when I found Microblading, I just knew it. I learned and dived into the craft like a kid at a candy store, I ate all the candy and then I kept coming back for more. So much more that I decided to take the big jump and open a studio of my own! I love my career! To me it is more than providing a service, receiving money and doing inventory. This changed my entire life and I treated like the most valuable thing I have ever had!

The fun begins right when I open the door and see the smile of someone new. The fun is listening to women tell me that they are inspired by what I do, to help someone see the positive when negative is all that they can see, to meet an entire family and be treated like one of their own, making decisions with a bride about what shoes to use, the time when I got to be one of the first few people to find out my client was having a baby girl or not knowing what to do when someone cried of happiness when they saw their eyebrows for the first time. To me this is very personal, it is more than just a job.

BLBKC opened its doors to the very first client in July 16th of 2020 and there are endless desires as to where we want to go. Perfecting my craft and creating beautiful eyebrows with my clients is part of the journey, helping others realize their full potential, or to help people take full control of their life by helping them start a new career they love could be the final destination. But I am just following the path, I am listening for guidance and I am letting the universe, god, decide where we are going. What you read about and what you hear about could all be possibly real, but the only way to find out is to come join my journey yourself! Let’s create a beautiful set of brand new eyebrows together and who knows, you might leave seeing yourself and life in completely different.

I love you, Ben Lopez
