Today we’d like to introduce you to Rebecca Morrison.
Hi Rebecca, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
After being laid off from a project management job, I was unsure of what my next move was going to be. I had no formal degree. I applied and was selected for an internship at the prestigious Scott & White Hospital in Temple, Texas. I received my certification in Cosmetic Lasers and Paramedical Aesthetics through the Scott & White Plastic Surgery and Dermatology Department. It was then I began to specialize in treating a variety of skin conditions and shade ranges. In 2005 I earned my Laser Specialist License at Rocky Mountain Laser College in Colorado. Upon moving to The Woodlands, Texas, I wasn’t able to get a job with an already established Medspa. As a curvy Latina, I didn’t fit the “aesthetic”. It was then, I noticed there wasn’t diversity and inclusivity in the local medspa industry. I opened Skin Deep Medspa in 2006. Skin Deep Medspa is a place where everyone is welcome. Throughout all of the years, I owe immense gratitude to the LGBTQ+ community. These folks have supported me and helped me grow and live my dream. For that, I will be forever grateful.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The road has definitely not been smooth. In the beginning, I wasn’t cost-conscious. I spent money on things that, at the time, weren’t beneficial to the big picture. I ruined my credit and wasted so much money. There were a lot of sleepless nights. I just kept at it. Honestly, I had nothing else. My business was going to succeed no matter what. I had an unstoppable determination and perseverance. There were a few people along the way that poured into my cup so to speak. Without them, I know for sure I would not be here today.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
I was the first Medspa in The Woodlands that catered to all skin shades. What sets me apart from everyone else is, Skin Deep services are accessible and affordable. I specialize in treating darker skin tones. I am most proud of my longevity in the business. It’s not easy to own a business and still be successful. Skin Deep is 16 years strong in the same location. It truly is a blessing to be able to make a comfortable living doing what I love. I offer the latest advances in laser hair removal and customized peels at budget-friendly prices.
Do you have any advice for those looking to network or find a mentor?
What has worked well for me is CONSISTENCY. It seems like a simple concept. However, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve referred clients to other businesses for treatments I don’t offer; and they don’t call them back, or their pricing is not clear. I have had clients tell me they have shown up to scheduled appointments and the business no shows or reschedules them. Time is the most precious non-renewable resource that we have on earth. I am grateful for the clients that make time in their schedule to allow me to treat them. I show up on time, and I expect the same from my clients. Obviously, things can happen that can be out of our control. I truly believe clear communication and customer care can take any business to the next level.
