148: Life, Lessons and Leadership with Brooke Holmes, Director of Me Skin & Body

At just 16, Alana had a moment in time where she looked around at her peers and saw their accomplishments and wondered why she didn’t have any to add to the conversation. Swiftly moving into action, Alana completed a spray tanning and makeup artistry course and promptly started her own home business. This motivation continued throughout her career, moving into therapy at an award-winning Sydney day spa, collecting an accolade of impressive awards under her own name and too, creating and building a business which not only houses some incredible client names on her books but also has its own line of kimonos which she retails to her clients.

147: Creating a Successful Career along the Journey with Alana Giovenco of Bliss Day Spa and Reign of Beauty

A life-long skin enthusiast, Renée Rouleau has dedicated 30+ years to the art of skin perfection. From the very beginning as an esthetician herself starting out in a one-room hairdressing salon, Renée recognized that every person's skin is unique; however, she also noticed that the beauty industry mostly relied on a one-size-fits-all approach to skincare and that Product lines were traditionally catered to very generic categories of skin - dry, normal and oily. With the spark of an idea and a whole lot of passion and purpose, Renée began formulating her own exclusive products based on not one but nine skin types to ensure her clients achieved the results they desired. Using her practical knowledge from being hands-on,  her namesake product collection Renée Rouleau Skin Care easily navigates the skin’s needs by using ingredients and formulas that are innovative and effective to build the empire we know and love today.

146: Esthetician to E-Commerce Queen with Renee Rouleau, Founder of Renee Rouleau Skin Care

For as long as she can remember, Charmaine has had a deep appreciation and love for luxury aesthetics, cosmetics, holistic health and wellness. As a former classical ballet dancer, cosmetologist, fashion model and later turned businesswoman, Charmaine always had a persistent inner desire to create something truly special. In 2017, Charmaine noticed a gap in the market -  wondering "why people were only focusing on their face and neglecting their body?"  From here the clear vision of Cocoon Luxury was born, one of which has taken Charmaine 2 years to bring to life, officially launching in December 2019, right before the world was about to hit the global pandemic. Building a product range including anti-ageing polishes & balms, fragrant diffusers and even a Gua Sha board, Charmaine talks about Cocoon Luxury’s mission and what motivated her to fill the natural, yet luxury, gap in the market and of course shares with us why body care and self-care go hand in hand.

Reika and Simone are the perfect examples of when women come together, support one another and play to their strengths, impressive things can happen. Right-brained, analytical and armed with an arsenal of business background knowledge, Reika’s role encompasses commercial operations, business development, strategic growth and the task of guiding her team toward future success. Simone on the other hand, in true left-brain style, is the visionary behind the brand and leads the education sector through her ever ticking ideas and broad-spectrum thinking. Reika partnered with long-term friend and now business partner, Simone Vescio, to introduce Dermaviduals bespoke skincare in Australia in 2010, followed by New Zealand. Starting from their dining room tables, one heck of a trip to Germany and a relationship build on soli foundations of purpose, trust and ambition, they now have over 20 staff across Australia and New Zealand, have sold hundreds of thousands of moisturisers, they are the staple brand in over 300 skincare clinics, and their friendship is stronger than ever. Derma Aesthetics was also recently awarded a global customer service award and claims many accolades for the way they do business. Though both Reika and Simone have achieved a great deal of success, this conversation highlights both light and dark, wins and challenges and everything in between it has taken the ladies to reach the brand success we know and love today.
