Today we’d like to introduce you to Laurie Hyde.
Laurie, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
I have always had a passion for skincare since receiving my first facial at age 12. My mother had a Jafra skincare representative come to our house and give my two sisters and myself a facial. I still remember the nice woman telling us “to never go to bed without removing our makeup first”. She also told us to use “high-quality products like Jafra in life”.
In 2012 both of my children had gone off to college far from home and I was encouraged by both of my sisters to join them in Texas. We have always been close and said we should live near each other when the kids were grown. I settled in Frisco and began to consider getting involved in skincare. I attended Salon Boutique Academy for my esthetician licensing and loved it.
After graduating, I worked at an anti-aging clinic that one of my sisters was managing and eventually joined a Day Spa in Frisco. Two years later when the spa I was working for went out of business, I mentioned to my sisters that I thought it would be a good opportunity for us to start our own Day Spa.
We opened Total Rejuvenation Spa on July 7, 2017. It has been hard work but a huge blessing to build our own business. We love our clientele and put an emphasis on their well-being. We wanted a calm supportive place to nurture these hard-working moms and career women. We have made it a priority to use high-quality skincare products just as the Jafra woman told me to all those years ago.
Great, 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?
It has been a learning experience. There are so many moving parts to any business. You have to figure out your strengths and other people’s strength and utilize that into your daily operation. Just trying to figure out advertising and which avenue to take in getting our business noticed was a big challenge.
I would have to say, word of mouth is still one of the best forms of advertising. Our clients have been very generous in recommending us to friends and family.
We’d love to hear more about your business.
I work full time in the back of the spa as an esthetician as well as manage the spa, so I really feel in touch with our clients and their needs.
We offer several different facials including anti-aging, brightening for hyperpigmentation, acne, and restorative, for dry, environmentally damaged skin. We also offer several different chemical peels, and micro channeling,( a skin pen is used to deliver moisture to the epidermis layer).
We are probably best known for our style of relaxing facials. Our clients recline in a zero- gravity chair. We find these chairs much more comfortable than traditional flatbeds. We incorporate a hand massage, neck massage and facial massage in all our facials. We use lots of warm towels with essential oils too.
We think women today deserve a very relaxing experience. We use very good facial products on our clients, Image skincare and Advanced Rejuvenating Concepts are our most widely used skincare line and both have higher active ingredients than skincare products bought in over the counter stores.
I am proud of the fact that we endeavor to connect with our clients on a personal level. It’s not just a job. We want to establish a caring, friendly, supportive relationship with clients. We think women today have more on their plates than ever before and we recognize that. We want to give them an experience that is nurturing, relaxing and refreshing. We want women to walk out of here feeling renewed!
Do you look back particularly fondly on any memories from childhood?
I grew up on a farm in Napa Valley, and most of my time was spent outside riding horses with my siblings. We would be out, riding for hours over the hills behind our house.
