Hello, I would like to introduce myself owner - Carolyn Johnson RN Div 1 nurse of 23 yrs and Cosmetic specialist injector for the past 13 yrs. I created my company in 2008 and have worked for myself and other big companies over that time jointly. SDA have gone through a few surface changes in that time, but deep down I have always considered it to be updates, growth and keeping up with medical advances.
Ok, Let's get real for a moment. There is nothing better than finding a beautiful salon, with an amazing team, one that you can look forward to coming into to spend some of your precious time, discussing your beauty questions, wants & needs. Overall - just feeling comfortable, that you are putting yourself in the hands of a qualified TRUSTED professional practitioner is the key for me. Yes Please .......xoxo
Here at SDA we are starting again after a difficult 3 years - the combination of Covid along with huge price hikes on everything from mortgages, to building materials, paying bills, the cost of kids expense's, to even just going out for dinner's increases the stress on all of us x 4. I feel everyone is getting through the best they can and at the end of the day, small business did get hit pretty hard. Basically, it left me feeling flat, disillusioned, looking for answers, questioning my worth. Today's climate is very different to pre-covid and it is hard to keep on top of everything, whilst still trying to manage the increased work load but for less gain. So, I realise that to find time for yourself, is an important escape and one we do really need for our selves. "A little me Time". "A little Self Care" is all good for our soul our mental health. ? So, today more than ever I have chosen to count on my skills, my knowledge, my business expertise and I know I can offer that experience.
So, do we all feel a little shell shocked ?
I know I have, I joke that I have PTSD from all the DA shutdowns and actually ... part of that is really not a joke. Anyway, mama didn't raise a quitter and deep down I realised my worth is worth fighting for ! I know what I am good at, I know I love creating beautiful spaces, I know I enjoy meeting new people and continuing to catchup with clients, I value those friendships that I have had for at least 10 yrs, I know that this means something and I know that I have a skill that makes people feel good about themselves. Yes, I am a bit of a chatter box but then that's all part of my diversion tactics to get you to relax and not panic about having a needle going into your face. Your are in TRUSTED HANDS :)
