Today we’d like to introduce you to Alexzandra Stevens.
Hi Alexzandra, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
Here is a professional summary of your paragraph:
⸻
My name is Alexzandra Stevens, and I am the owner of Skin Therapy with Alexzandra. My journey into esthetics began as a teenager struggling with breakouts. After receiving my first facial—thanks to my sister, who was attending cosmetology school—I instantly fell in love with skincare. Although I initially pursued community college, a missed opportunity to transfer created a gap year, which I used to earn my esthetics license. During that time, I balanced a full-time night shift at a 24-hour restaurant in Hollywood with attending esthetics school during the day.
Following graduation, I gained experience working at Massage Envy and other companies, but I often felt limited by corporate environments that prioritized quotas over client care. After eight years of working for others, I decided to take a leap of faith and open my own business. With the encouragement of my fiancé, I pushed past my fears of failure and started Skin Therapy with Alexzandra. It has been the most rewarding decision of my career, and I’ve proudly been working for myself for over a year and a half.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Working for myself has been a rewarding and steady journey. I was fortunate to have loyal clients—some of whom I’ve treated since my very first job eight years ago—continue their skincare journey with me. Through working six days a week, I was able to save $10,000 to invest in my equipment and products, allowing me to launch my business without the need for loans. I dedicated myself early on to building a strong foundation, ensuring long-term financial stability and minimizing future stress. Today, I’m proud to say that most of my clientele comes from referrals, creating a warm, supportive, and peaceful environment throughout my day.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I specialize in providing customized facial services tailored to each client’s unique skin needs. Known for my genuine care and attention, I prioritize thorough communication and take the time to answer questions with clarity and intention. I space out appointments to ensure a calm, unrushed experience for both myself and my clients, creating a truly personalized and relaxing environment.
What sets me apart is my client-centered approach—I never push unnecessary add-ons or services. Instead, I recommend only what aligns with each individual’s skincare goals. Every facial is delivered with intention, allowing clients a moment to unwind and recharge from life’s daily stressors. I strive to maintain a safe, inclusive space where everyone feels welcome.
As a reputable small business, I take great pride in earning the trust of my community, with many clients referring their close friends and family. I offer treatments for all skin types and concerns, including acne, hyperpigmentation, aging, dryness, and inflammation, with options suited for both sensitive and resilient skin.
Is there anyone you’d like to thank or give credit to?
My journey into the esthetics industry began with my sister, who introduced me to my first facial—a pivotal experience that ultimately led me to where I am today. With the support and encouragement of my fiancé, I found the courage to pursue my dream of owning a skincare business. He reminded me that while failure is a possibility, true success can only come from trying.
My loyal clients have been instrumental in my growth, cheering me on from the start and helping expand my business through word-of-mouth referrals and thoughtful Google reviews—all without the need for paid advertising. Today, my greatest source of motivation is my 7-month-old daughter, whose presence inspires me to maintain a peaceful, nurturing environment for both myself and my clients as I continue to build a successful and meaningful practice.
