Rava Beauty: The Next Generation (Haha!)

Looking back on the blog post about my business, Rava Beauty, back in April of 2011 - it looks so sad. LOL! But, it's also so awesome to see how far I am at the moment! Rava Beauty has hit the next level and is now in a physical place in Corona, CA. That place is called Sola Salon Studios and now Studio 21 will be where pampering and beautifying happens! My business is now open to facials, waxing AND makeup services! I am so beyond excited! And to think...I almost QUIT beauty school! I'm very thankful for my husband encouraging (and basically forcing!) me to march on and finish!

Even though I am technically open for business this weekend (today). I have no appointments and I'm actually still moving things in, setting things up and decorating. So, it works out after all. I've already set up an Amazon Local deal for a Brazilian Wax and I'm planning to run some more deals to drive people in the studio! This is still difficult for me to swallow because my very attached 12 month old will be missing me once I have a full schedule on Saturdays and Sundays and that makes me anxious! But, we are not there yet and I still have time to get him used to the idea of mommy being gone for 7 hours!

I'm STILL building up my makeup kit (which is no surprise because I haven't been doing any makeup work, so I haven't been pushed to get all the things I need) and I'm still acquiring equipment for the skincare part of my spa.

So, lots of things are new: New blog URL - it's now hmgirlsguide.blogspot.com - and new studio!

I'll be writing more about Rava Beauty as time goes on, but the next blog post is going to be super exciting! Hint: It's very closely related to the LAST blog post I made back in June of 2013...

Peace, Love, Lipgloss & Mascara!!! xoxo - Melissa
