We had the good fortune of connecting with Crystal Ochemba-Powell and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Crystal, why did you pursue a creative career?
I actually started my Esthetics and Beauty career as a brow and makeup artist. I had always struggled with both Teen and Adult acne. I went to school for my Esthetics license not knowing that I would be changing lives. As I learned more about the skin and how to treat acne, I was hooked! When I cleared my own acne and acne scarring, I knew that it was meant for me to help others.
Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
As a Licensed Esthetician and Acne Specialist, I love taking care of my client’s skin. Often times, people come to me after they have tried numerous solutions including prescribed medications and over-the-counter solutions. My program is very customized and I create a treatment plan that is specific my client’s skin goals and needs.
I’ll never forget the first day my client came to me. She had been struggling with acne her entire adult life. At one point, she felt as though she had it under control, only to find out her acne had actually shifted to other areas of her face. Not only that, she was dealing with a lot of leftover scarring and hyper-pigmentation. She was exhausted from spending money on products that didn’t work and completely lost as to what to do next.When she came into my studio, she was ready to try anything at this point.
I assured her that I had been where she was and that I would not only show her the right products to use, but also how to use them. I explained that with my Clear Skin program, she would also have me as her Skin Coach, helping her along the way.
We started in-studio treatments and she was diligent with her home care. After only about a month, she walked into my studio and said with excitement and disbelief, “I don’t know what you did to my face Ms. Crystal, but I look gooooood!”. It felt good to see her get her confidence back. She was glowing from the inside out! Achieving clear skin doesn’t have to be hard. I want my client’s to know that I am here to help.
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I love to try different foods and I love to circle back to places I’ve eaten before. My go-to is Agave. They always have great food and great service.
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
