I’ve turned down loads of alternatives to have my line offered elsewhere. Massive field retailers have knocked at my door and I received’t even entertain a dialog with them. I’m simply not focused on following the trail of so many manufacturers the place the main target then turns into gross sales and numbers. All for the sake of the almighty greenback. Founders lose their soul once they have traders respiration down their neck. I see all of it too typically and that’s simply not for me.

After we closed down the Dallas spas 5 years in the past, and I used to be now a 100% product firm, I wasn’t round estheticians anymore and missed it. I get a variety of new concepts from them so within the spirit of getting again to my roots, we at the moment are using extra estheticians to serve numerous roles corresponding to new product growth, buyer care, social media and advertising and finally, to serve you higher.

Yearly in November (his birthday month) when he was alive, we did ‘The FLO-vember Problem” the place we dedicated to a well being aim and did it every single day for the month. (We often did burpees, ugh!) Me and the group have continued this custom and it’s all the time a reminder of the significance of excellent well being and retains his spirit round. I do know he’s proud.
Estheticians and Dermatologists Unite
One of many issues I like most about being within the magnificence business is the individuals I get to fulfill and be taught from. This business has among the brightest, most revolutionary, artistic individuals, and I by no means get uninterested in studying from them.
An enormous spotlight in November was not solely getting to talk for the second 12 months on the Science of Skincare Summit however this 12 months I performed three roles: I used to be a speaker, the co-chair of the esthetician observe and an exhibitor showcasing our line. What’s tremendous cool about this summit is that it brings estheticians and dermatologists collectively. That is very uncommon. All of us have the identical goal, which is to assist enhance lives by bettering pores and skin however our approaches could be totally different and we haven’t all the time performed properly collectively within the sandbox.
That is now altering and we’ve got a newfound respect for each other for a way we view and deal with pores and skin and this summit is an instance of that. It was an honor to be on a panel with well-known dermatologists (like Dr. Pimple Popper!) representing my fellow estheticians.
I’ll once more be the co-chair subsequent 12 months so if you’re a licensed skincare skilled, please be part of me.
