Today we’d like to introduce you to Krystal Canty.
Hi Krystal, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
Since a little girl, say middle school, I’ve always wanted to work in an industry with skincare. Not knowing that I could be an esthetician until visiting a dermatologist whom helped me out with my acne growing up. Because I suffered with cystic acne, I knew right away I wanted to help other teens/adults with acne when I grew up.
I moved to Los Angeles when I was 18 years old and got my Associates Degree at FIDM for Beauty Merchandise Marketing. I worked in Marketing and PR thinking I was going to enjoy it. I’m glad I did it but I knew I needed to work with people and continued with schooling to become an esthetician. I’ve now been an esthetician for eight years and am so passionate it. I absolutely enjoy making people – women in general feel beautiful and having confidence. Within in years of becoming an esthetician I’ve included body contouring in my profession where I can make women feel even more confident by helping them reduce their cellulite.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
I can’t say it’s been smooth all the way…The beginning of my career was hard because I was 21 years old and most of my clients coming in were all anti-aging clients who questioned my work. I’d get clients saying, “you’re so young, what do you know about anti-aging?” It definitely discouraged me but only made me build my confidence and learn more about anti-aging. Within about a year to a year and a half because I was able to build that confidence within myself, I felt like clients rep gravitating towards me and has been so wonderful since!
We’ve been impressed with Skin Body Lounge MedSpa, 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?
So I’ve worked for Skin Body Lounge since I’ve become an esthetician and only here, so this is my home. I’ve grown here with the company itself! March 2020, the beginning of the pandemic, my business partner and I purchased Skin Body Lounge and made it a Medical Spa. We brought in a Medical Board Director, Dr. Kristi Funk and was able to expand our menu. I am the lead esthetician here as well and also manage the esthetic side!
We specialize in body contouring, hydra-facials, facials, peel, airbrush tanning, and much much more. Our medical side is slowly but surely growing. We have recently adding Botox, Fillers, Vitamin Shots, and Vitamin IV Drips. I believe what sets us apart from others is as soon as a client walks threw our door, we make them feel warm and welcomed. Every client becomes family to us! We give you results but are also very straightforward and tell you the honest truth. Because we can’t do miracles, our philosophy is “Fine Tuning.’ Everything in life is fine-tuning, no matter what you do!!
Can you tell us more about what you were like growing up?
I was never big on sports but loved babysitting and collecting fun chapsticks, lip glosses, and lipsticks. I had drawers of them. I was very girly girl! Growing up, I was very shy until I knew you. Then it was different. Also very observant. I’m the youngest out of five. I watched my siblings grow up and I always knew I wanted more and I wanted to show my parents, siblings and nieces and nephews that you can do whatever you wanted to do when you set goals. I have always been very driven, a go getter. I loved working, making money!
