Today we chatted with April Blackburn, also known as Master Esthetician 101. April discusses her decision to work for someone else rather than going solo, why it has been working for her, and whether or not esthetician success is dependent on becoming a solopreneur.

April has struggled with her own skin issues, such as acne and scarring, allowing her to empathize with her patients and support them every step of the way. Her passion for this industry goes beyond healthy skin! It stems from educating her clients and helping them to feel confident in their best skin. April enjoys her time off with her son. She is also passionate about education and uses her Instagram as a way to spread skincare knowledge to her following.

April Blackburn is a licensed Master Aesthetician with additional certifications in laser, chemical peeling, and advanced medical spa services. She specializes in restoring skin back to optimal health through an extensive, personalized plan that includes advanced treatments and medical-grade skincare products.

In Part Two of this Episode with Ryan Ellis, Anxiety Coach, we got to talk more about issues that add to anxiety and things that can help you overcome it.

Namely, we discussed perfectionism, excuses, and overwhelm. These are roadblocks that hold so many people back in their goals and in their lives! Listen in as we discuss how you can overcome these and continue making strides toward what you want!

Ryan struggled with anxiety his entire life, and over the past few years has made it his mission to understand and gain control of it. Through his own discoveries and progress, he has started working with other individuals who struggle with anxiety and has helped them learn to control over it, too.

In this Episode of The Spa Strong Podcast, we had the pleasure of speaking with Jordan Mendoza. Jordan is a Permanent Makeup Artist and owner of Wink Aesthetics in Draper, UT. She also has studios in San Diego and Chicago.

Lately Jordan has focused her PMU skills on PMU correction and removal. This is because, unfortunately, there are a lot of people who are offering PMU certifications but are not experienced enough to be teaching.

Listen in as we discuss the 6 main things that Jordan recommends looking for in a PMU trainer. AND HEY! If you aren’t a PMUA or interested in becoming a PMUA, this episode still applies to you because these points work for ANY beauty service training, from lashes to spray tanning to speed waxing!

In this Episode of The Spa Strong Podcast, we had the pleasure of speaking with Kenesha Coleman. Kenesha is a Certified Public Accountant based in Chicago, IL. She is the owner of Coleman Tax where she works specifically with Beauty Entrepreneurs to help them stay on top of all their tax and accounting needs.

Understanding the ins and outs of accounting and taxes is not easy, and it isn’t something we learn about in esthetics school. Often times, estheticians face issues with their taxes and with staying on top of their expenses and where their money is going. That’s where a CPA like Kenesha comes in!

After working as an auditor for the IRS, Kenesha realized that too few small businesses understand the complicated process of filing taxes and taking full advantage of write-offs or other money-saving opportunities. So she has dedicated her career to helping beauty entrepreneurs have the accounting and tax support they need.

Listen in to learn about the differences between a book keeper, accountant, CPA, etc, and about other resources you should take advantage of to keep your money organized as a beauty business owner!

In this Episode of The Spa Strong Podcast, we wanted to talk to y’all about setting boundaries at your spa! This is something we were talking to one of our beautiful estheticians about recently, and we thought it’d be a good idea to share the concept with all of y’all.

If setting boundaries and standing up for yourself and your business don’t come easily or are new concepts for you, it can feel really awkward and uncomfortable to start. But, that doesn’t mean it’s the wrong thing for you to do!

So what does it mean to be a “Boundary Athlete”? You’ll have to listen to find out! And don’t forget to download the cheat sheet at https://www.spa-strong.com/38 so you can get the most out of this Episode.

If you’re realizing you have a strong need for boundaries in your esthetics practice, check out our book, Boundaries in Esthetics, where we cover 5 vital ways you can set and maintain professional boundaries in your career. Order your copy at http://www.spa-strong.com/biebook

Royal has been a police officer for 5 years, and M’Lisa went through most of the LAPD Police Academy, so here we share our 5 favorite safety tactics we learned from our Academy training. Now, you may be thinking, “Okay that’s nice and all, but I’m not a cop, so do I really need to know this stuff??” The answer is YES! Even if you aren’t a police officer, the tactics we share are so applicable and important to know in this unpredictable world we live in.

So grab your notebook and listen to our 5 favorite safety tactics:

1. Keep your head on a swivel
2. Keep your gun hand free
3. Greet everyone around you
4. Be aware of the threats and cover
5. Give commands

What do each of those actually mean for you? You’ll have to listen to find out! And don’t forget to download the cheat sheet (directly above!) so you can get the most out of this Episode.

In this Episode of The Spa Strong Podcast, we had the pleasure of speaking with David Lee. David is a website developer and owner of Beauty Business Info, where he creates websites for beauty professionals.

David’s philosophy is that your website should WORK for you. In this episode, we dive into what that means, why it matters, and what needs to change if your website isn’t where it should be already!

He also explains more about the service Beauty Business Info provides for beauty pro’s, the resources available on the sites they create, and the investment— Which, can we just say, is extremely affordable considering what you’re getting!

As someone who created her own websites for years, I can’t begin to tell you how grateful I am that we finally just paid someone else to do it for us this time around. You’ve got better things to do with your time than learn how to navigate a website creation site, learn and edit code, figure out how to trouble shoot and fix bugs, etc.

If you’re in need of a new site, Beauty Business Info may be a great option for you! You can check them out and learn more by following the links down below:

In this week’s Episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Shea Kasianowicz, a Licensed Esthetician and Certified ZO Skin Health Expert based in St Petersburg, FL! Shea has built her career in the medical side of aesthetics and has so much incredible knowledge to share. But before becoming a licensed esthetician, Shea had a different yet very relevant background— For two years, Shea worked as an investigator for the Florida State Licensing Commission. In this capacity, her job was to seek out unlicensed and unregulated activity for several license types including COSMETOLOGY AND ESTHETICS! As soon as we found out about this, we knew we wanted her to be a guest on the Podcast! As you know, we are big on rules, regulations, and maintaining high standards in your capacity as a licensed esthetician. Hearing Shea dive into the health and safety risks of unlicensed activity confirms the need for proper education, licensing, and continuing education. We also had the opportunity to discuss ZO Skin Health, what makes it different from other skincare lines, and why Shea would only work with a spa that uses this line. In this episode, Shea referenced Emily Keller Rockwell, NP @emilykellerockwell_np as a great resources for ZO Skin Health products.

They say every major change starts with your mindset, so how do you go about changing THAT? Is it a simple flip of a switch, or do you need to dig deeper? In this week’s Episode, we had the pleasure of interviewing Loralee Dodson. Loralee is a Master Health & Life Coach based in Florida. She has been working as a Coach since 2011 and has changed so many people’s lives— Including M’Lisa’s! Listen in as we discuss why some people are able to make permanent lifestyle (or business!) changes and others swing right back into their old habits. This Episode is so special to us because Loralee actually played a huge role in M’Lisa and Royal meeting— Here’s the story: Loralee was M’Lisa’s eyelash extension client but also her health coach. Part of Lor’s program at the time was a diet reset in which the client cuts all sugars out of his/her diet for a minimum of 21 days. During the 21 days, when flying home from a business trip in Los Angeles, M’Lisa was extremely hungry waiting at the LAX Airport. There wasn’t time for a sit down meal, so she headed to the food court to see if anything would fit in her sugar-free program. While standing in the food court, she found herself in front of Pink Berry Frozen Yogurt, staring up at the menu and rationalizing about whether or not it was okay to have some froyo. While there, she noticed a police officer talking (flirting) with a woman who was ordering some yogurt, but she didn’t think anything of it. After several minutes of going back in forth in her head, M’Lisa decided that it wasn’t worth it to end her sugar-free streak for a few minutes of froyo enjoyment and she walked outside of the food court, pulled out her cell phone, and typed a long text message to Loralee to vent about how frustrated she was with the lack of healthy options in that particular airport. Unbeknownst to her, the police officer had noticed her in the food court, walked away from the girl, and stood by patiently until M’Lisa was done sending her lengthy text. When she put her phone in her purse and started to walk away, the cop said, “Hey! You stood there in front of Pink Berry all that time and you didn’t order anything?” AND THEN, they fell in love and got married, all because M’Lisa decided (after much back-and-forth in her head) to stick with her eating plan and what she was learning from Loralee. THE END! :)) Okay, there was obviously more to the story than that, but we give a lot of credit to Lor for this and many other ways she helped M’Lisa change her mindset and lifestyle. Take notes and really dig deep during this Episode— Ask yourself if your mindset is where it needs to be to help you be as successful and fulfilled as you truly want to be. You can connect with Loralee on Instagram @life.coach.lor and on her website at www.loraleedodson.com. You can also reach her at lifecoachlor@gmail.com or in her FB Group, Meeting the Mark.

Sometimes we get an idea, create a plan, and have specific expectations of what we think the outcome will be. But, it doesn’t always turn out the way we hoped. However, there is always a learning opportunity! In this episode, we chatted with Kristen de Oliveira and Madison Annis of Beauty Mavens Collective in Salt Lake City, Utah. These are sister estheticians who have great experience to share. After experiencing highs and lows in the industry, they have learned how to learn from the little lows in order to avoid much bigger lows. They share an important experience we can all learn from about going into business, and we discuss the importance of investing in career-focused continuing education after graduating esthetics school.

As estheticians and beauty professionals, we have so many opportunities to grow our businesses and establish loyal clients. But, sometimes it’s easy to get complacent and/or discouraged. We learn the treatments and forget that getting our license was only the first step— next we need to hustle and grow in order to create the career of our dreams. There will always be competition. There will always be reasons why self-doubt will tell you that you can’t. But it is up to you to decide that you belong in this industry and recognize that there IS ROOM FOR YOU. And you can attract your perfect, quality clientele because YOU ARE YOU. This episode with Kimber Jaynes, founder of Borboleta Beauty, will knock the discouragement and complacency clean out of you. Listen in as she shares the attitudes she has that helped her grow Borboleta into an award-winning, world-wide eyelash extension brand, even though there were already other lash brands out there.

We’re one full month into 2020— how are your goals going?? In this episode, Royal and I talk about the difference between goals and dreams and why we love the vision board we finally made. Sometimes people think goals and dreams are the same thing, but they are actually a little different! Goals have specific characteristics that we don’t always apply to dreams, hopes, wishes, or passing thoughts and ideas. We hope that this episode will inspire you to evaluate the goals you have and keep pushing yourself to achieve them, or inspire you to turn your dreams into actual goals and create an actionable plan to help you make them come true. During this episode, we reference this post on the Spa Strong Blog. https://www.spa-strong.com/post/making-a-plan-of-action-to-achieve-goals We also reference this book: “Rejection Proof” by Jia Jiang https://amzn.to/2RV7lmz And this story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaVh_5Y7M_g If you like this Podcast, please subscribe and leave a review!
