Hidden Gems: Meet Christal Sundstrom of Christal Cecily Skincare

Today we’d like to introduce you to Christal Sundstrom

Hi Christal, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I worked on Corp for 11 years before I decided to go out and explore new things. I bought my first spa 16 years ago in Huntington Beach Ca. I absolutely loved it, I loved my staff and the variety of services that we did. Over the years I started to realized that there were things missing in the skin industry that myself and my clients needed. At my 10 year mark I decided to sell Haven and go solo so I could pursue going into a different avenue. That’s how Christal Cecily Skincare and CC Collection was born. I kept and continue to see my VIP clients all the while I spend just as much time formulating, researching and learning all things skin. I pride myself on education and understanding how and why things work. After 2.5 years my first Serum Formulation “Eternal Youth” will be out and ready to help change peoples skin all around the world.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
I truly believe that if it’s a smooth road then you aren’t working hard enough. There have been many ups and downs in starting a business. Needing more time in my day but not wanting to miss my boys baseball games. Taking the time to do necessary things like network and brainstorm but also needing to make the time to do the things that generate money, My biggest struggles have been TIME, having enough time to be a full-time CEO, Mom, Friend and Colleague.

We’ve been impressed with Christal Cecily Skincare, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
My vision for Christal Cecily Skincare is to not only be a Skin Store but also an education hub that helps you really learn the ins and outs of your skin. CCCollection is my personal brand that will be sold in the store also. It will focus on Anti-aging and Pigmentation from the inside out. I want to be known for helping people feel comfortable in their own skin all while understanding why they are doing it. I believe the things that sets me apart from everyone else is that I truly love what I do, I love my clients (whether they come see me in the roomer I see them virtually). I am most proud of the commitment and loyalty my brand offers. I want people to know that everything I do comes directly from my heart. I not only see clients in the treatment room, but I offer virtual consultations and virtual facials. CCCollection will launch its Blue Peptide Serum in July 2024.

The crisis has affected us all in different ways. How has it affected you and any important lessons or epiphanies you can share with us?
The most important lesson I learned during Covid was the importance of togetherness. Have so much time apart for family, friends and clients not only taught me how important it is to embrace the time we all have together.
