It's an honor to speak with you today. Can you please share some details about your background and journey? How did you reach your current position? : Thank you, it's great to be here. My journey in the beauty industry began over two decades ago. I’ve had the privilege of working with some remarkable brands, including Drybar and Heyday Skincare, where I focused on franchise development. My experience in these beauty franchises helped me understand the intricacies of building and scaling successful businesses. At Pure Glow, I’m leveraging this knowledge to expand our airbrush tanning franchise, which offers a premium, health-conscious alternative to traditional tanning methods.

Achieving success often involves overcoming obstacles. What challenges have you faced along the way?: One of the significant challenges has been navigating the evolving landscape of the beauty industry. Each brand has its unique hurdles, from regulatory issues to market competition. For Pure Glow, ensuring consistent quality across all our tanning salon franchises while maintaining our commitment to health and safety has been crucial. Additionally, educating the market about the benefits of airbrush tanning versus traditional methods has required persistent effort and strategic marketing.

Tell us about your work. What is your area of expertise, and what makes your business stand out from the competition?: My expertise lies in franchise development and operations within the beauty sector. Pure Glow stands out due to our focus on delivering a premium airbrush tanning experience. Unlike many tanning salon franchises, we prioritize organic, safe ingredients and personalized service. Our partnerships, such as the one with Heitler Houstoun for design, ensure that each studio offers a luxurious, inviting environment. This dedication to quality and innovation sets us apart in the growing spray tan franchise market.

What is your top piece of advice for our readers who want to achieve success in their own lives?: My top piece of advice is to stay adaptable and continuously learn. The beauty industry, like many others, is always evolving. Embrace change and be willing to pivot when necessary. Additionally, surround yourself with a strong team and network; success is often a collaborative effort. For those considering a business venture, thorough market research and a clear understanding of your unique value proposition are key.

How do you define success? : Success, for me, is about creating sustainable and impactful growth. It’s not just about financial achievements but also about building a brand that makes a positive difference in people's lives. For Pure Glow, success means becoming a leading name in the airbrush tanning franchise sector while maintaining our commitment to quality, safety, and customer satisfaction.

Now, let's talk about the future. What are your future plans or next steps for you/your company?: Looking ahead, Pure Glow is focused on expanding our footprint both nationally and internationally. We have exciting plans to open new locations in major cities like Phoenix, Dallas, Nashville, Milwaukee, Sarasota, and Birmingham, MI. Each new studio will adhere to our high standards, ensuring a consistent and premium experience. We’re also exploring innovative technologies and services to enhance our offerings and stay ahead in the beauty franchise industry.
