Tell us a little about your business. – Tranquility Salon & Spa is a full-service hair salon and day spa. In addition to the hair services provided by our experienced team of professional stylists, we offer an extensive line-up of spa services including pedicures and manicures, facials, massages, body treatments, waxing, makeup artistry and more! With the additional space at our new location and its overall design, we’ve been able to incorporate many new offerings that we’re excited about too. This includes a blowdry and makeup bar, men’s and women’s locker rooms with steam showers, a relaxation room and couples massage room, and new Aveda spa services. In other recent news, we’ve also been voted Lincoln’s best hair salon and place for a massage, which is something that we’re extremely proud of as a testament to the quality of the services, products, and overall atmosphere we’re able to provide for our clients.
How did you get started in the business? – I started with Tranquility Salon & Spa in September of 2002. I was originally hired as a massage therapist, which has been the focus of my career for the past 17 1/2 years. I then began training to add pedicures and manicures to my services. When we made the move to our new location on January 7th, I was promoted to my current role as Spa Manager.
What is the biggest challenge you’ve faced professionally? – I would say as a new manager of a talented team of people who I’ve already been working with as my colleagues, it’s been learning to separate my friendships from my professional relationships with the staff at the salon.
What has been your most important achievement professionally? – Being promoted to my current position as Spa Manager, which was a decision made based on the recommendations and support of my peers at Tranquility Salon & Spa.
What is your favorite thing to do on a day off? – When the weather is nice I enjoy golfing and going for motorcycle rides. I also really enjoy hanging out with friends and family.
If you could have a super power, what would it be? – I would love to be able to look into the future.
Which talent would you most like to have? – I’d like to be more creative and artistic, which are both things that I admire very much in others.
If you could choose any other profession to be successful in, what would it be? – Forensic Science. It’s something that has always really piqued my interest.
What is your favorite movie? – The Shawshank Redemption.
What is your favorite TV show? – I am a reality show junkie! The Bachelor, The Voice, Below Deck, and Real Housewives are among my current favorites.
What is your favorite local restaurant? – Dish.
