We had the good fortune of connecting with Rebecca Rieck and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Rebecca, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
I’ve always wanted to have my own business as a creative person. I wanted to do the cosmetology services that bring me joy. I also knew there where ways to make the experience better for my clients also. I would probably say becoming a mother too helped me know I need control of my schedule so I can balance work and life.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
It wasn’t easy being creative you need to be in right head space so taking time to be in nature really helps me clear my mind. So I enjoy going to the mountains with my family. It’s important to have balance for a while I was just working too much and had me loose my creative drive for a bit but thankfully found it again

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I would say let’s go to the riverwalk in Pueblo and go eat dinner at fuel and iron downtown since they have few different places to pick from in there. Then I would say let’s spend the rest of the week in the mountains some nice trials in the San isabel National forest probably on the greenhorn trial. I also love it out by Westcliffe there are some great spots to camp there. We would take hikes , chill , fish, and take in the beauty of nature.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would love to make a shout out to my grandma Crystal Johnson. She was an excellent example of a woman who had family and business. She also inspired creativity and drive. Some of my best memories of us doing our art. She was a great at beading making beautiful jewelry and I a was painter and did little bit of bead work also. We would do craft shows and powwows together. Words can’t begin to describe all the ways she made me the person I am today.
