Today we’d like to introduce you to April Jourdan.
Hi April, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
My name is April S. Jourdan. I’m a New Orleans native residing in Houston, TX. Skin care for me started in Junior High School. I noticed in my chin area a few strands of hair that over time increased. I went through the process of laser hair removal, which was very expensive, so I didn’t complete my sessions. I moved from New Orleans to Houston in 2019 to explore more opportunities. I got certified to perform Body Contouring services. Why? This service was the most offered/popular here at the time and this gave me an idea to want to teach this same course. In order to do that, I would need an Esthetician Licenses. Received my license in 2023 from Ogle School. Immediately after I went solo with no clientele. I settled renting a suite inside Up Close Beauty Max Salon. With the help of ownership I was able to start getting clients on the books and maintain a healthy relationship with them all. Yes every month was not always the busiest or busy at all, sometimes months without 1 client. Now over a year later April & May of 2025 I serviced clients everyday of the week. I prayed for this. Currently working on digital product, adding skin tag removal services and mastering my client retention.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
NO! It hasn’t been smooth. Keep in mind it has only been a year but I showed up. There has been times I haven’t seen a client 2 or 3 months. I would use some content I never posted before to keep m followers engaged.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
