Carolyn Cyprian
Medspa Owner and Advanced Esthetician
At a young age, I always knew God had a bigger plan for my life. I did not let the struggles of being a teenage mother sway my determination for success. I did not let doubts or fears blur my vision for my life. Constantly being told a dead-end job is the only way to make ends meet, fueled my fire even more. I began to seek God, but I wasn’t always strong enough in my faith to hear His answers.
It had to be a universal sign or a synchronicity, that led me to trust my intuition. Around the time my daughter was in middle school, a woman at a nail salon planted a seed in me that allowed me to envision myself in a different career. The woman presumed I was an esthetician; not knowing what an esthetician was, I asked: “what’s that?” The woman explained, “it is someone who does facials”. I responded, “I wish I was because I have struggled with acne-scarred skin my whole life.”
Determined and committed, I enrolled in esthetic school while working at a full-time job. With little to no family support to help care for my daughter, I maintained a 4.0 GPA while working 50 hours a week and attending night school. Within the first few months of the program, I learned how to clear up my acne. I thrived in esthetic school; building strong relationships with my teachers, mentors, and peers. Throughout this time, I was also simultaneously building my clientele base.
I knew I was destined to be an esthetician, I had the passion, the vision, and the confidence, but I haven't figured out how to do so quite yet. My nights were filled with school, my weekends filled with skincare, and of course, a full-time job took my week. Sometimes, guaranteed money will make you stay in a job longer than you need to. As I grew stronger in my faith, I was compelled to leave my corporate job. I knew this was necessary for God to take my career to another level. My ears were open, and I was listening. This was the answer from God I awaited to hear. So, I quit —I stepped out on faith and pursued my passion for skincare. Within the first year of being an esthetician, I had earned the same full year’s salary as if I still had my regular nine-to-five job.
And —after eleven years in the skincare industry, I remain a student of my craft. I continue to learn about the latest skincare science and treatments. I am rewarded by helping my clients rebuild their confidence not only in their skin but in their spirit. I pride myself on being authentic and standing in my truth– my clients know me to be honest and trustworthy.
I believe passion should never be ignored; it should be pursued relentlessly regardless of the risks. For me, it’s not just about skincare, I want other estheticians to know that you can build a sustainable business by being authentic. Aligned with purpose, I am expanding the knowledge I have to share with others. Through my wisdom, problem-solving skills, professionalism, and authenticity, I want friends, clients, skincare practitioners, and future estheticians to be their authentic selves too.
No one can be who you are, and no one can perfect your craft. Allow yourself to be who you are; share your unique gifts with others.
Your greatest gift to the world is staying true to yourself.

Esthetics Registered Nurse
To be led by the spirit and inspire hope is what I wish to do. They say that you make plans and God laughs, which is nothing but truth when speaking about every moment that has led me here. I have a bachelor's degree in Nursing and am a Registered Nurse. Going into the nursing profession I thought my journey would be just like everyone else, I thought I would have the typical bedside experience but boy was I wrong . God has done a complete 180 in my life and I can say that he definitely knows best !
From a young age beauty has always been my secret weapon.
Feeling confident and beautiful in who you are is a strength that no one can take away from you . I have always struggled with my skin growing up with acne and sunspots which led me to be curious about ways I could improve my skin and feel confident. There is something so empowering about being able to arrive as you are and that be enough!
It would be my pleasure to be the vessel that inspires true confidence and peace while working hands on to reach the best version of yourself . The real work starts with the spirit and ends on the outward expression of who you are. Embrace the change, the outcome is beautiful.
