Today we’d like to introduce you to Ashley Pomerville.
Ashley, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
As a teen, I struggled with problematic skin. I always sought help through several different Dermatologist, but to no avail; I came to the realization in order to get rid of my acne for good, I needed a strict skin care regimen paired with eating the proper foods that promote healthy vibrant skin. I was floored with the results, and became intrigued with helping others maintain their skin. I enrolled at Aveda Institute and completed their esthetic course. Then soon after, I completed my cosmetic tattooing license to offer semi-permanent makeup. My extended tenure working in the Medical Spa industry alongside some of the top plastic surgeons and aesthetic physicians in both Houston and Austin, propelled my knowledge and experience to a point where the only natural transition was to strike out on my own. In 2015 I decided to open my own spa, where we offer a broad spectrum of services from microblading to chemical peels. I feel very fortunate to be able to truly enjoy the work I do with Beautopia clientele, alongside my well trained, proficient colleague.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
There is, and will always be, day to day challenges in having your own business. When I first started out, I rented a very small space inside a spa with little to no parking for my clients. I found renting from an owner that offers similar services, to be a bit problematic to say the least. Early on, Marketing proved to be tricky as well. Sifting through companies that did not produce results, harvested lots of frustration, because of the loss of time and money invested. However, the good news was that this is my passion, and challenges here have never really lived up to they’re name as far as I’m concerned. They’ve always felt more like a mandated task that once complete, allows me to advance to the next task. I enjoy this process, however, social media outlets, word of mouth, and Yodle are now getting Beautopia Skin Studios name spread to the masses.
So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the Beautopia Skin Studio story. Tell us more about the business.
I am an aesthetician, cosmetic tattoo specialists, and owner of my company, The Beautopia Skin Studio which supports those skill-sets. The X-factor that sets me apart from others in the industry is the very detailed, vigorous training. This type of learning translates into a highly sophisticated service that’s desired by new and repeat clientele. Just to scratch the surface, I’m well versed in all aspects of integrated medical aesthetics and semi-permanent makeup, with an acute specialization in Microblading.
Throughout my career, I have trained with the most respected specialist in the field of semi-permanent make-up and Microblading. I have assisted in correcting thousands of men and women’s skin conditions such as melasma, hyperpigmentation and acne. In addition, I’ve worked tirelessly, correcting and repairing sun damaged skin though my proprietary skincare treatments. I have an extensive knowledge of medical grade skincare products, specialize in superficial and medium depth chemical peels, and exceptionally skilled at permanent makeup.
I am committed to continued research and training using the latest, most unrivaled techniques, maintaining the most effective skincare and permanent makeup solutions available for my clients.
Has luck played a meaningful role in your life and business?
In the words of Thomas Jefferson, “I am a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it.”
