WOW 1 WHOLE YEAR OF ZEN ESSENCE BEAUTY BY JADE! 🪷🌿🩷
Some may read, some may not, but it’s important to me that those who want to know understand how and why Zen Essence came about.
In 2024 my life was hectic, chaotic and exhausting to say the least. On top of working, uni, supporting friends with their own issues, walking pneumonia, losing clumps of hair and some awful relationship problems, I found my dad passed away and had to do CPR. This was very traumatic for me and shattered my mental health. 💔
I was at rock bottom, many days in bed crying, depressed and blaming myself.
That moment completely changed everything. I was at rock bottom so it didn’t matter if I failed.
I have always done bits of beauty here and there but never believed in myself enough to make it something especially not my very own business. But something had to give. I had spent so long pouring into everyone else’s cup leaving my own empty, never doing anything for me...
Pretty nails, lashes, brows and facials weren’t for people like me… single mums in scruffy buns still using the same makeup from 2001. 🫠
But why not? Why wasn’t it for me?
So I went for it.
I didn’t see ££ signs and profit… I saw other women like me doing everything for everyone else and running themselves into the ground. I had to make a change.
I had to make beauty more inclusive, so I opened Zen Essence not just another beauty place, but a safe space where women of all ages, sizes, religions and races could come and feel held.
Somewhere they could come in the evening after work when many places are closed. With 0% interest payments, monthly direct debit schemes so it was affordable.
I have even done many treatments for free when people couldn’t pay, because sometimes a quick eyebrow wax can stop someone having a breakdown. When life pushes you to the edge it really can be something that simple!!
And here I am today, a full year on — fully booked weeks, bookings in my diary two months ahead, beautiful clients who I adore and new friendships formed.
So many clients have come to me for their very first treatment — first nails, first facial, first wax — because they say I come across as someone they feel comfortable with, and that is such an honour. 🩷
Anyway, cheers to 1 year of Zen Essence the dream I never thought would become what it has. I still have serious imposter syndrome and often feel like I’m just playing beauticians 😂 but I’m not. I’m here to help the women who need it most the women who empty their cups filling everyone else’s!!
And year two...... ✨ We’re going even bigger, stronger and louder.
Thank you each and every one of you for supporting my dream, it means more than you’ll ever know.
As a thank you, any bookings made during February and March will receive a complimentary treatment. 🩷🩷🩷
