Why skin? Skin care is such a strong trending topic right now. Especially during the pandemic, interest in skin care skyrocketed. Skin care sales are increasing because prioritizing self-care is increasing. This has opened us up for more education and we are offering many new skin care services! It’s important now more than ever to love yourself first. I love having a job where I can make people feel better about themselves, whether that be internal, external, or both. Our whole Jade salon is staffed by day-makers and it’s inspiring every day.
Why Aveda? Aveda is and has been a global leader in utilizing the powerful quality of nature and creating plant-based products. They recently announced all their formulas are now vegan as of January 2021. They have sustainable packaging and manufacture their products using 100% wind power. The products are formulated to operate with custom aroma pairings. Aveda has an in-house Pure-Fumer that works on all the aroma functions. A lot of companies use overseas labs to create their aromas/ fragrances. Aveda is open about sourcing, product ingredients and usage. Their education is in-depth and involved. I have learned so much working for an Aveda salon and it just keeps getting better and better as we grow.
If you could describe yourself using a color, what would it be and why? I think the answer could change throughout someone’s existence. I would say purple because it’s a blend of different colors to express different insights and thoughts. This is a peaceful and calming color that encourages better awareness and performance. For me, it signifies inventiveness, integrity, and inspiration.
What’s your favorite family tradition? My family plans a yearly beach vacation. I look forward to this every year to take some time away and reset. For me, the ocean is cleansing and rejuvenating and that’s an important piece of my well-being.
Aside from necessities, what’s one thing you could not go a day without? Facial moisturizer! My skin is sensitive and dry and I could not go a day without my Aveda Botanical Kinetics Rich Crème. It uses a seashore plant to help skin absorb moisture and the aroma is light and fresh.
