TRU ESTHETICS

02/12/2026

50 years ago today my precious soul was born. To say you have been alive for 50 years is so crazy to not only say but hear. I’ve lived through so much and yet feel like I haven’t lived enough.

Younger me wanted to be loved by someone special, such a hopeless romantic, she wanted to be a mom with a big family, she wanted to find something she was good at doing.

Instead I have spent most of my adult life figuring out me with just me myself and I.
And these last few years especially I have mourned what my hearts desire had always been.

I’m grateful for all of my life’s lessons and experiences, that I get a chance to grow, learn new things, and in turn teach others what I’ve learned and experienced.

And I can truly say I love me, I’m truly an imperfect person made perfect in my creators eyes. I’m grateful for each day to wake up and live.

If you are not your biggest fan then no one else will be. I dimmed my light for others to shine and I wish I never stopped shining but I made it through every storm and I’m sure there will be more. With each one I’m braver, smarter, and still always trying to see the good.
I’m shining like the woman I’ve always known.

The mirror may tell me I’m 50 but inside I feel like a young girl. There are times I never thought I would ever feel the peace I do in these pictures. I see the softness back in my eyes again. I see warmth and comfort.

May God give me just as many years ahead as there are behind me.

And I’ll be posting all my favorite pics from this wonderful session so be prepared to be sick of me 🤎 or better yet be prepared to see me as I TRUly am.

I am accepting donations and gifts to celebrate my day 🥳 my Venmo is trutalktracy

I spend my days educating against many “industry standard practices” because I’m no longer a text book esthetician but get to now stand w experience & what I’ve actually seen in my career.

In the beginning fresh out of school, you really know a whole lot about not much! For myself once graduated I went after more education, took classes and lucky for me I was about to partner, meet and work along side so many industry professionals. I soaked up my time with them like a sponge.
It was a time when the industry was focused on real skin, yet the Wild West of this industry was starting.

In spa I dig deeper but here’s a run down of my list and quick answers:

Lasers➡️ don’t do it. The short term gratification isn’t worth the long term losses to the face. Many are getting damages that will be very hard to repair. Video coming!

Botox/Filler➡️ I personally want to control the toxins I can control. Life is already hard with toxic food, water, air, soil, clothes, pesticides, why add more.
And it’s being pushed on way too young of girls, the damaging outcome down the road may be too late to reverse. Once you manipulate the face it’s very hard to reverse to natural.

Sun exposure➡️ we need the ☀️ ! The amount of artificial light we work, live, sit under is killing the soul! Telling people to be afraid of the ☀️ its exposure is crazy talk. I have found first hand how it’s healing. Also since starting school I can see how artificial light was aging me and killing my soul!

Tretinoin aka the harshest level of vitamin A➡️ in 13 yrs I’ve never met a skin on tret where I have said to myself wow her skin looks amazing. In fact, it’s discolored, porous, fragile, and feels like rubber. Long time users I’m actually afraid to touch because the skin is like fragile glass. Not to mention the RX version is toxic, pore clogging, and way over used. Drs are now prescribing accutane even more than ever as well.

Lastly, SPF➡️ this goes along with my sun comments, we need to stop threatening everyone that if they don’t wear spf 24/7 they will 💀. They have programmed us to be part of it. W/O ☀️us, plants, life would be 💀let’s Be sun smart & let’s stop saying the sun is bad!

We are excited to be back in the area of Charlotte that we know and love!
was started in Southend in 2014 when I was a baby solo Esthetician. And then expanded to a brick and mortar in 2018 on Park Road.

I am excited to be back in the area and grateful that there was an opportunity to provide that back to our customers.

If you have followed me to all locations thank you so so much your unwavering support means so much.
It is definitely noticed and seen and appreciated beyond words.
I had some really sad (for me) comments said to me over this last year. Running this business at times is beyond rough.

So again for everyone that has made the extra mile or two you are my tru beauties in so many ways.

Thank you for your patience, all media reflects the change. It will take some time for iPhone or Google maps to catch up.

If you are a tru customer, don’t worry I will send information like I did previously to give you all the details on how to get to your next appointment.

This move is really special because it truly does give back to those of you that continue to be a customer of mine and your excitement has really made this process easy!

thank you so much! See you in South Park 💛

I’ve been able to personally thank so many of you this month for coming in not only in this month but throughout this year.

This year is hard to put into words. But all I can say is seriously I see and feel so much.

If you have booked a service this year and have continued to show up this year, you did it for me not even Tru, it’s me and that means more than I can say.

The conversations, the laughs, the tears, the prayers, the endless support so many of you give. There will never be enough words to describe what I feel.

Next year it will 10 years since I started my business. So as I close out year 9, for now I’ll say thank you for trusting me and for continuing to build a relationship with me.

A beautiful woman reminded me today that no matter what the landscape of my life looks like right now, God is always perfect, good and sovereign.

Love you Tru beauties ❤️

Happy Esthetician Day to me!
☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

Since the day I got my license I haven’t stopped working for this industry, my business and brand and for you my clients, many who become family and friends..

The last 12 years has really defined my life; who I am, was, and what I’ve become.
I’ve lived so many lives and I have changed more times than I can continue to count.

As a new client reminded me yesterday, she said, “you can really tell that education and training is something that you love and really understand. You’re very passionate about it. You know what you’re doing, why you’re doing it and for who.”

It has not been easy to do all of this. I don’t know what the next 10 years holds, but I am grateful to be alive and for the opportunities that allow me to grow, change and make a difference.

Thank you!
