She recently closed her 1,400 soft. studio while I'm right behind her, currently in the process of closing down my 1,100 soft salon and shifting back to being a solo artist in a salon suite. In this episode - special guest Kelsey Speros (follow her on Instagram CLICK HERE ) and I share our experience with salon ownership and employees & our decision to close and pivot back to solo.

My first guest episode !!! This has been a dream/goal for a while and I'm so blessed to have been asked to be on Skin Society's podcast. Please visit their platform and connect with them - especially if you are an esthetician who focuses or wants to learn more about skin. https://www.youtube.com/@SKINSOCIETY2019 Skin Society Website Follow Skin Society on IG In this episode I share a little about my journey as an esthetician and business owner - and I speak on my recent decision to go from salon owner back to solo! Surprise... the news is out lol - in a few short weeks I'll be closing my 1,100 sqft salon storefront and going back to solo... all because I want a more simple life. I realized that salon ownership isn't for me and so I've decided to pivot and go back to working alone - and I am SO excited for this change. We also talk about pricing - don't skip this part because the girls come for me and my low facial prices LOL. We also talk about a trending topic in the skin world - an esthetician trademarked a popular name/phrase and it's caused some fuss. Listen to our thoughts - coming from women who prioritize community and women empowerment in the industry. Special thank you to Maria + the girls for having me on their show. I hope we can record more episodes together in the future! :)
