i'm sad and it's your fault!!!
Why am I sad, and why is it your fault? I'll tell you why: It’s because this page is empty. The picture above is just a photo of my friends and I, not my rock star team and I. Your picture is not here! Your bio is not here! YOU'RE NOT HERE! This page should be full of a great team of professionals that can wake up everyday, and in all honesty, tell their clients that this doesn't feel like work at all. I love what I do.
In case you couldn’t tell by now by looking around on the website, or from stalking my Facebook/Instagram page, I love to look good. Appearance is important to me. My mother taught me at a young age not to leave the house any kind of way, and I choose what I represent. Well, that has spilled over into my entire life, and excellence became a standard and not a goal. Yes, I have no problem showing up anywhere suited, with heels, with my hair, nails, and makeup done, looking like an executive because that’s how I feel comfortable looking. I gravitate to places that fit my style—highly structured, ultra-professional spas built to ensure the utmost relaxation for every client. Those type of environments attract certain types of coworkers, beauty workers who value order, teamwork, and professionalism, those who take their career seriously and show up to build everyday. Those are my people!
I'm starting from scratch. Building from the ground up with a vision that is bigger than me. All that means is that I CAN NOT DO IT ALONE! So here's another question. Do you hold a valid cosmetology, nail technology, esthetician, massage therapy license in the state of Michigan? Are you looking for anything like what I've described? Our ideal candidate will have an active occupational license in good standing and will share our strong commitments to promptness, professionalism, and client safety.
Why should you come work with us? Plenty of reasons! LaTresha Rená Salon and Spa is owned and managed by LaTresha Reed, a management executive and licensed cosmetologist (of 15 years). Dual bachelors in Business Management and International Business. Holding a master's degree in Business Management and a Ph.D. student (in business of course), LaTresha has managed multi-million dollar companies, multi-department staffs, and is a fierce advocate for the rights of beauty workers. She is looking to build something that is quite different from what you’re probably used to.
· I strongly believe beauty professional should spend their time at work doing what they love, with the support of someone who knows business and is looking to help them grow.
· I am looking to hear from you to know what you need and also provide you with things you may want.
· You won't be left to yourself: Trainings, protocols, support, furnished work environment, you name it!
