Community Highlights: Meet Jillian Ringwood of Skinovation

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jillian Ringwood.

Hi Jillian, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
As a kid, I would watch my mom always being diligent with her skincare. At the time. I didn’t realize the importance of it until I got a little older in which, I would start observing people’s skin. I went to college and graduated with a health science degree but never felt satisfied with what my future looked like. My passion for skin was always there.

I decided with my husband to move to AZ and knew it was my chance to dive into the world of skin. I knew that many people didn’t think this was a serious career choice, but it only pushed me to forge ahead in search of success. I was fortunate to land the job of my dreams. The owner mentored me and made me the esthetician I am today. I decided after 4 years, it was time to move out on may own and start Skinovation. My work life feels so fulfilled because I get to make people feel empowered and beautiful.

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?
Building my business was no easy task. I worked multiple jobs as I built my clientele. I was hustling all the time trying to build what I have today. I found myself not having a lot of balance in my life, so I started doing more self-care and seeing boundaries for myself. I’m a go-getter, so it took me a long time to learn how to time manage. Take the time to just be in life. Work will always be there. Additionally, todays’ beauty industry is consumed by the world of social media and I have struggled to adapt to that and showcase my work. its also been more of a challenge keeping up with “trends/fads” that aren’t actually good for the skin but people seek due to social media influences.

Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
My philopshy is to treat each client individually from the inside out by simplifying and perfecting the client’s skin care regimen at the spa and at home. My treatments are customized for each client’s skincare needs in the moment using pioneering technology, anti-aging techniques, advanced peels and massage. My vision was to create a space that complimented my advanced treatments as well as provide a chic environment for my clients. An atmosphere of exclusive, personal tranquillity. Attention to detail and quality means every thing to me. I want my clients to relax as if they were in a spa while I treat there skin with more advanced technology and modalities. ” Beauty is not about what everyone else looks like or what society perceives as the norm. It’s about loving what you see when you look in the mirror. I continue to help my clients everyday. Clients who come to me trust me and choose me. Nothing can top that feeling! I want to educate my clients that skincare and fighting the process of aging is a year-round commitment. Homecare is just as important as the treatments I offer. Seeing my clients’ results and hearing how they have more confidence when they look in the mirror, their excitement over compliments from friends and family because of how good their skin looks makes me feel so proud and I have accomplished what I was sent out to do. My favorite thing to hear though is, “That was the BEST treatment I have ever had. Never have I experienced something so good. Your hands are pure magic”

Can you talk to us about how you think about risk?
Risk taking is what it’s all about. If you don’t take risk how will you ever know if you would succeed. I am always about leaping. I have always had the mindset there is no option to fail. So take the plunge, and take a risk.
