Who or what inspired you to pursue your current career? We both come from a beauty industry background where we have been blessed to meet many stars in our industry who have given us the inspiration to do what we do. Working in a five- star spa helped us gain the knowledge to provide that hometown feel but with big city results.
What I like best about what I do is: For Andria, it’s about sharing her education and knowledge
with our staff to help them provide five-star services. For Monica, it’s the opportunity of receiving those five-star services.
Advice I would give to young female entrepreneurs: Never think, just DO!
My greatest successes have been: Having such an amazing family who supports our dreams and aspirations!
It’s important to support other woman- owned businesses because: Women are the backbone of everything good in life. We need to trust and support one another.
What’s something interesting about you that not many people know? We don’t do this for the money. It’s the light we see that shines bright when a service is performed and that person loves it. That’s why we do this.
What are your favorite things to do on the Coast? We are very blessed we get to do what we love everyday, which includes meeting new people and partnering with fellow innovative businesses on the Gulf Coast.
What moment from your life made the biggest impact on your career? My mom and dad questioned my choice to go to beauty school, and insisted I went to college first. I thank God everyday that I decided beauty school was better.
