After almost 25 years in esthetics (20 of those as a small business owner!), itโs time for me to say goodbye to the treatment room. ๐ฅน
When I think back to where it all startedโฆ picture this: me 19 practicing Brazilian waxes on my kitchen counter with my friends while my poor roommate walked in and pretended this was totally normal. ๐ Fast-forward a couple of decades, and Iโm pretty sure I could do one in my sleep.
To everyone whoโs trusted me with their brows, skin, and stories over the years โ thank you. Truly. ๐
Some of you have been with me since ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฆ I was a mom. Iโve seen you through breakups, first dates, engagements, weddings, pregnancies, and everything in between. Itโs been such an honour to be part of your lives through all those seasons โ sometimes laughing, sometimes crying, sometimes just talking about whatโs for dinner. Many of you became more than clients โ you became friends.
Iโm endlessly grateful for the love, loyalty, and kindness youโve shown me over the years.
And a special thank-you to all the amazing staff Iโve had along the way. Essentials wouldnโt have been what it was without you. D and Danielle โ you two are absolute gems and now two of my closest friends. There have definitely been some hits and misses when it comes to staff over the years, but you two made all the difference, and Iโll love you forever. ๐ค
While Iโll miss our time together, Iโm really excited for whatโs next. Iโm closing my spa to spend more time with my kids, give my body a much-needed break, and follow a new passion โ social media and Disney planning! โจ
If you want to keep in touch (and see what Iโm up to next):
๐ Follow my personal page
๐ฐ And of course, my Disney page
Thank you for every appointment, every conversation, and every laugh. Youโve been such a huge part of my life, and Iโll never forget it.
Now promise me this: wash your face, wear your sunscreen, and take care of yourself. ๐
With so much love,
Kristie โจ
