ABOUT CLARISSA
Beauty Empowered’s owner and Hair Designer (Clarissa), moved to Utah in 2004 as a single mom to pursue Nursing School. She instantly fell in love with Utah and knew right away she’d likely never leave.
Clarissa joined Mary Kay in 2007 and found her passion in pampering
women and she quickly earned free diamond rings, free trips, and a free car.
After several years outside of corporate America, Clarissa felt it was finally time to pursue her 'little girl' dream of doing hair. With only 1 of her 6 children left at home and the love of her life at her side (her husband Allan), Clarissa opened her dream salon “Beauty Empowered” November 1, 2022.
Clarissa is always looking to better her skills and learn the latest trends. June 2024 two more dreams came true for Clarissa... after tons of research she was able to officially launch her own line of hair extensions and (with her passion for empowering women) she decided to become a licensed Hair Design Instructor. So, in June she took and passed the instructor licensing exam and received her instructor license.
She can now officially pass on her love and knowledge for everything hair.

Clarissas Daughter & Junior Assistant
ABOUT ELVIS
Elvis is Clarissa’s youngest daughter and only child left at home. Elvis has always loved hair and anyone that has met her is in awe by her beautiful, extremely long, thick hair. Elvis looks
forward to doing hair and nails as soon as she’s old enough. In the mean time, she’s loving being the salon Junior Assistant where she folds the salon towels, hangs the capes, sweeps
the floor, cleans the mirrors and keeps the retail shelves stocked and clean.
She is working to earn money to cover the cost of her figure skating. She began figure skating January 2023 and quickly fell in love with it and has done amazingly well. In February 2024 she attended her first figure skating competition where she placed 3rd.
In figure skating you have to pass 8 tests before you’re able to compete at Nationals, and in June 2024 she took and passed her first of eight tests (Pre-Preliminary). She will be competing
at her second competition in August and it is actually 3 levels higher than she competed at in February (just 6 short months before).
To say she is passionate about figure skating would be an understatement. Even in the summer Elvis goes to bed early (without being asked), so she can wake up early and skate. Elvis skates 4-5 days a week and about 3 hours each day.
