Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
When I started SOWA MEDSPA, I was 25 years old and in my last year of Grad School at Boston College. I first started as a concierge service medspa where I would go to homes and do “botox parties” or cure people of their “hangovers” with my vitamin IV bags. I was a women’s show for a year and a half – with little to no business experience.
I would force my sister to come to informational pop-ups I did at apartment buildings so I wouldn’t look lonely at my booth. I would also force my partner at the time to be a model for training I needed to take in order to get advanced certification in injectable techniques. I didn’t know what I was doing in terms of business but I knew I needed to do something to make it work. I found a retail location 4 months after starting the business – maxed out two of my credit cards and did it. I put effort into developing my skills as an injector and treated every client with the utmost respect.
Fast forward three years and now SOWA MEDSPA is running on its own allowing me to open up a smaller injectable location in Miami, FL (my hometown).
