Today we’d like to introduce you to Daniela & Jessica Carvallo & Ochoa
Hi Daniela & Jessica, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
HTxGlowUp was born from a passion for creativity and self-expression. Our goal was to introduce something truly unique and vibrant to events and parties, filling a gap we noticed in the Houston area. It was the perfect opportunity to pioneer a joyful, dynamic art form that brings people together. While it might seem simple, the craft requires immense time, dedication, and attention to detail.
Since our inception, we’ve grown not only in the spaces where we showcase our art but also in how we introduce people to this relatively new concept. The response has been overwhelmingly positive. We specialize in neon body painting, using safe, body friendly paints to create stunning designs that light up any occasion.
Over time, we’ve expanded our offerings to include a variety of body art styles, catering to events ranging from birthdays and weddings to corporate gatherings. Our mission has always been to create an inclusive environment where people of all ages and backgrounds can participate and enjoy.
We are incredibly proud of what we’ve built bringing fun and creativity to the Houston area while tapping into a market with tremendous potential for growth.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Entering a market that hasn’t been fully explored might seem easy, but the reality is quite different. Establishing a name for yourself requires significant sacrifice and effort. Introducing a new concept, like neon body painting, to people can be challenging yet rewarding. It took time, patience, and persistence to educate clients about the uniqueness of our art and to build the trust needed to succeed.
Logistics posed another major challenge managing supplies, ensuring our paints and glitters were always safe and high-quality, and juggling multiple events in a single weekend. The pandemic added another layer of difficulty, with events canceled or postponed, forcing us to adapt and find creative ways to stay connected with our audience.
Despite these hurdles, we’ve remained committed to our vision of delivering unforgettable experiences. Every challenge has made us stronger, and we are deeply grateful for the unwavering support of our clients and community. It’s their encouragement that continues to inspire us to push boundaries and share the joy of our art.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
