Meet Katy Sheppard of skn radiance

Today we’d like to introduce you to Katy Sheppard

Hi Katy, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Ive always been into beauty, but I definitely started to notice how much I liked it when I got to high school in 2015. I started waxing my own brows in the 9th grade which eventually evolved into me waxing my own arms, legs and so forth. 2015 was also a really big year for makeup which is when I started to pick up on that too. Fast forwarding to after high school, I had no idea what I wanted to do career wise. I was constantly changing my major in collage until one day something just clicked. I realized how I would sit in my mirror every night doing my makeup and thought, why can’t I make this my career? I started to look up makeup schools near me and that’s when I came across esthetican school. I had never heard of an esthetician but when I went through everything one learned, it was everything I enjoyed doing and more. I was hesitant because I knew I would go with the intent of starting my own business as soon as graduated, but with the support of my family and fiancée, I was able to do it. One month after completing my state exams, skn radiance was up and running for business.

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?
For the most part it’s been really smooth. Once I figured out that going into esthetics was the career path I wanted to take, everything kind of just fell into place after that. Whenever I opened skn radiance I started with zero clientele, so I had definitely had to juggle a couple of jobs to be able to afford rent and products for my business but after a few months of being open I was able to leave my jobs and make skn radiance my top priority.
