Maven Makeup + Skincare Co.
Owners: Hannah Heitzig & Kendelle Stahlschmidt

Even without having one received on of their famous facial services, we felt a calm welcoming energy as soon as we walked in the door.

We have to start with saying, that if you're in the business of skincare and makeup then there is likely a lot of pressure as the owners to be a walking advertisement - Hannah & Kendelle understand the assignment. Their skin and makeup always looks flawless as do their clients.

In 2013, Hannah opened Sweet Life Spa & Salon. After meeting Kendelle and instantly becoming best friends, Kendelle got her esticiian license and started working at the spa. Hannah later realized that it would be nice to have a business partner and that Kendelle was the perfect person for the job because they are very yin & yang and compliment each other very well. During 2016, they went through the process of developing their own branded makeup line. This line has everything from foundation, blush, mascara, and more! In 2021, they rebranded and focused on the makeup and skincare side of the business to what is now known as Maven Makeup + Skincare. (We love their logo and want to give a shout out to Emily Willard, JCHS graduate, who designed it!)

They both consider each other as a mentor along with their husbands. When you are around these two it is easy to see why this partnership is so successful - they are the perfect compliment to each other.

They talked about customer experience, being patient to give your business time to reach success, taxes, importance of punctuality, logo variations, private labeling, expansion, and so much more!

Some favorite quotes from today:
"Sometimes you have to give up the good to get to the great." - John D. Rockefeller
"If you're early then you're on time." - Hannah
"Never stay stagnant and always move towards what is next." - Kendelle.
