Today we’d like to introduce you to Ashanty Avila.
Ashanty, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
I started in the beauty industry when I was 17, having worked at a cosmetics counter. From there, I moved into the natural/organic side of the industry, learning and being trained in the structure-function of internal supplements to help with skin health.
I became a certified herbalist and aromatherapist. After being in the industry for over 15 years in the retail side, I decided I wanted to become a licensed esthetician to be able to provide more one on one personalized attention to clients.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
Although I’m extremely happy with how things turned out, there were always the challenges of figuring out what direction I wanted to go with being self-employed, which area of expertise I wanted to focus on.
Please tell us about Avila Skin Care.
Avila Skin Care has been in business for six years, specializing in full body waxing for both men and women. I thoroughly enjoy being able to offer specialized skincare treatments. I enjoy being able to offer a safe place for the LGBTQ community.
What were you like growing up?
Having been raised predominantly by my grandmother in Mexico, I was a very quiet kid. Although I tried to get involved in many extracurricular activities, I preferred the ones that involved concentration, knitting, sewing, etc. It was something I could share with my grandmother.
