Beauty & The Blogger

When I was a new Esthetician & Professional Make-Up Artist 27 years ago things were so different than they are now. We did not have social media & I could not even write a  blog back then! I have always loved too write, so this is even more fun because it is something I am passionate about, make-up & skin-care!!! I have not written for a while because there were some incredibly crazy things going on I'm my life & I had 2 daughters crowned in the Miss America Pageant system:)
So back to the writing fun for me & I want to take some time to introduce myself! I am Saroya & I call my business Saroya Beauty. I have been an Esthetician & Professional Make-Up Artist for 27 years! My first job was at a small skin care salon in Carmel CA., called Ambiance Aesthetics. I was already a licensed Esthetician but the owner Janette taught me how to give the most incredibly, soothing facials! She had also been a Make-Up Artist in Los Angeles for years working on models, famous people & clients. Janette taught me how to do Make-Up Hollywood Style & I loved it! I worked for her for one year & it felt like I received years of training from her. I decided to come home to continue my career because I missed my family! I worked at a few salons when I came home  building my clientele & strengthening my skills! I also become a certified massage therapist to add to my services & continued working. I was about 7 years into my career when I decided to work for myself. I was using a product called AVEDA which totally fit me because it was a naturally based line & since years earlier I ran my dad's health food store, AVEDA was right for me! My business kept growing & I rented an office by myself! BUT, I was selling so much AVEDA so my new husband Rob & I started to think & pray for 1 year about renting a retail/salon/spa space & so we did! My business was already called Amenities by Saroya, we dropped by Saroya & that is when Amenities AVEDA Spa/Salon was born!!! Amenities grew from 1 employee to 13 in 10 years. I also worked as an AVEDA Educator teaching facial & body treatments which I specialized in as well as Make-Up services!!! Around the 10 year mark my husband & I had 2 daughters & we decide to sell Amenities. Since then it has been 11 years & I have continued to work adding Spa Consultant to my bag of tricks & I still love what I do, especially MAKE-UP!!!
