Welcome to the Beauty and Wellness Group!

[AdamB]

Welcome and hello! 👋 We're so excited to see you!

This group exists for those in the beauty and health industry to connect, share ideas, and help support each other with the unique knowledge and insight that each of you has.

First - say hi and introduce yourself! Share your business with us, tell us a cool customer story, or just talk about a product or service that is really rad! 💅

Second, feel free to use images and gifs, animated or otherwise. A picture is really worth a thousand words in this industry. 

Third, you might want to consider changing your notification settings so you get emails of new posts to the group. It makes it really easy to keep in touch with other members!

And finally, don’t be shy! We’re really happy to have you here and to hear from you!

Hi!  I'm a mobile hairstylist in Ontario, Canada.  I go to my clients' homes to do cuts, colours, perms, etc.  Most of my clientelle is seniors with mobility issues and moms with kids at home, so they can send the kids to the next room while they wait for their turn for a haircut.  It's a lot of equipment to bring with me all the time, so I'm not sure how long I'll physically be able to do this, but I feel so good about helping people that couldn't otherwise have their hair done at all.

[AdamB]

I bet people love being able to get their hair done at home! I imagine that does involve bringing quite a lot around with you. Maybe you could make a new post to the group, describe your current mobile setup, and for thoughts on how to streamline it or make it more mobile-friendly?

[AestheticsElite]

I wish I could be mobile... I can with massage, but not with esthetics in my state.

[TBV]

I love this option! I have a physical space where I do most my work but do let my clients in need know that I can come to them too! It does present a huge challenge with all the equipment needed. Keep up the great work!

I do the same thing here in California.  I also work at an assisted living and memory care facility.  I have been doing hair for over 45 years. 

[JessPoynter]

Hi everyone! My name is Jess and I have a hair studio (Jess Poynter Style) just north of Seattle, WA. 
I had a VERY roundabout way of getting into the beauty industry, but now I can't imagine my life any other way! I just recently (Mar 2020) moved my life from CA to WA, and what a transition it was! But, once again, it just feels so right up here! 

I have to say, I can't really talk about one cool client because I truthfully love ALL of the clients I've gained up here. It really feels like I'm just hanging out with friends all day at work. However, I think one of the things I love about this industry is our ability to connect with people through various phases of life. I'm still getting notes from my former clients back in CA! Love this industry! 

In terms of awesome service or product, I have to say I love my Goldwell color! I'm a self-proclaimed hair nerd and the amount of science and technology that Goldwell puts into their color and lighteners is fascinating. The fact that now, though, I have clients telling me their hair has never felt better makes this career all the more exciting! 

I can't wait to connect with more of you on here, especially you estheticians! I'm fascinated by skincare and new procedures! 

[AdamB]

At the end of 2019 I decided I was just going to let my hair grow long again, something I hadn't had since my late teens/early 20s. My first grey hairs started to show when I was 16 and my hair is now mostly silver, which interestingly has made it a lot straighter than it was before. I'll have to check out Goldwell products! I'm currently using Klorane or Khiels.

[AestheticsElite]

I love Klorane products!

[Sharaya]

Hi Jess! I’m a fellow salon suite owner and a Thriver society member. Just recently attended the Thrivers LIVE and saw you speak in one of the sessions! Look forward to connecting in the space too! ❤️

I am an Aesthetician and Body Work Therapist in Charlotte NC.  I work with Sothys, Saian Natural Clinical, Botanically Rooted, Tizo, Blinc, Dr. Schrammek, Alpressan & BiodrogaMD.  I'd love to hear about everybody's experiences with skin care lines that they use, love and recommend.  I had typed all this in before but when I put the photo in it got rid of the text - super annoying but let's see how this goes... 

[AdamB]

Welcome! 👋

I'm a bit of newbie when it comes to skin care, but I've been using Cerave every day. The biggest challenge is finding a good, daily body lotion that has good SPF protection (the sun is pretty brutal here in Vallejo).

[AestheticsElite]

I recommend Tizo brand sunblocks, but any brand that is specifically formulated with only zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are the best in my opinion.  They are physical sunblocks and don't degrade once applied like the chemical sunscreens would.  Chemical sunscreens degrade whether you are in the sun or not and as they degrade cause a low-level inflammatory response.  Zinc Oxide is an anti-inflammatory.

Hi! I love esthetics but I don’t feel like I have enough knowledge to help recommend products to others. I love waxing and miss being able to do it during COVID. There were two products that we used in school Dermalogica and GlymedPlus. I tried Dermalogica for a while but didn’t feel like it did much for my skin. Switched to Glymed and I’m in love. It’s also a local company so that was a huge thing for me!i love supporting local businesses.

Hi Everyone!  Thank you Adam for the invitation to this group!  My name is Lisa Roche and I own Nagare, a Holistic Wellness Center in Haddonfield, NJ.  I offer private wellness and healing sessions utilizing The Gyrotonic® Method, Reiki, Aromatherapy and Sound Healing.  Each person who comes to the studio has a session specifically curated to their needs in that moment, so no two sessions are ever the same.  In addition, I work with clients all over the world with Energy Healing and Guided Meditation.

I really look forward to participating in this forum and learning more about every one!
