We had the good fortune of connecting with Candace Holyfield Parker and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Candace, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking.
I view risk as an opportunity for growth and reward rather than just a potential loss. The correct risk taking has lead to innovation and success throughout the years. I also learned several valuable life and business lessons from unsuccessful risk experiments. I’m laughing about it now but I definitely was crying during some of those hard unexpected failures as a business owner.

What should our readers know about your business?
The Spa Boss Tribe is the largest Black spa professionals community focused on supporting spa and wellness business owners. We offer resources, networking opportunities, and education to help members grow their businesses, enhance their skills, and navigate the challenges of the spa industry. Industry experts and our chapter presidents often share insights on marketing, operations, and customer experience to foster collaboration and success within the community.

I became a massage therapist in 2011 and noticed a lack of leadership within the industry. Once I built my brand I decided to help other spa owners in 2015. In 2016 I created Spa Boss Tribe®️ Thr community birthed 37 spa millionaires so far, 1000s of six figure spa owners, millions of dollars in funding, boss bestie relationships, collaborations and our own Black Spa Expo. It’s the only one in the world.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
We eat live and breathe spa. Imagine a week of spa services. Must visit spas in Atlanta are listed below:
The Plucked Peach ( Wax )

Terrelle Spa ( Facials )

Rejuvenere Health and Aesthetic Med Spa (Iv hydration)
