We had the good fortune of connecting with Rikki “Rosè” McBride and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Rikki “Rosè”, we’d love for you to start things off by telling us something about your industry that we and others not in the industry might be unaware of?
One thing about the spa/beauty industry that outsiders may be unaware of is the extensive amount of training and education that professionals in this field undergo. Beauty Pros frequently attend workshops, seminars, and conferences to stay updated on the latest trends, techniques, and products. We are always learning. Also, a lot of us also invest in coaching programs to help us in our industry. People think it’s just all about the services and posting on social media but it’s deeper and entails a lot more. It’s important to recognize that the spa/beauty industry is not just about pampering and aesthetics. It is a multifaceted industry with diverse career paths that cater to different interests and skill sets. Whether it’s research and development, management, wellness coaching, or specialized beauty services, there are opportunities for individuals with various passions and talents.
Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Royal Glow Aesthetics is not your typical spa; it is a lifestyle that encompasses the ultimate luxury experience for the body, mind, and soul. Our mission is centered around empowering women to embrace themselves fully and unapologetically. I understand the significance of positive affirmations and self-care, which serve as the foundation for everything we do at Royal Glow Aesthetics.
What truly sets Royal Glow Aesthetics apart from others is the profound compassion and love infused into every aspect of our offerings. From the carefully selected products to the unparalleled customer service and the gentle touch during treatments, the energy and care are evident throughout the entire process. This personal touch alone ensures that each client feels valued and cherished.
The uniqueness of Royal Glow Aesthetics is further reflected in our tailor-made services, designed to help clients not only look their best but also feel their best, the beautifully curated shades of pink to the royal experience upon entering the premises, every detail is infused with compassion, love and energy.
I am a celebrity trusted Licensed Esthie (seen with Gail Bean, Jenny Summers, Ms. Funky Dineva, Myles Truitt, just to name a few) and 5 star rated! I’ve traveled to LA for the Bet Awards and New Orleans to the Essence Festival doing celebrity spa lounges.
The journey becoming a full-time entrepreneur in 2021 was not without its challenges, but my humility, gratitude, and consistency played a vital role in overcoming obstacles and staying focused on my goals and dreams. The ethos of “Faith, Goals, Grind” embodies my belief that with hard work, determination, and continuous motivation, ANYTHING is possible.
Throughout this journey, I’ve learned valuable lessons. I understand the importance of thinking big, not giving up when faced with difficulties, and persistently promoting my brand even when others may not understand why I do the things I do.
It’s essential for the world to know that your dreams are worth pursuing, and with unwavering determination, you can overcome any challenges that come your way. Embrace the possibilities, stay true to yourself, and seize every opportunity to make your dreams come true. Success may not come overnight, and there will be ups and downs along the way, but never give up. Keep your dreams alive, work hard, and stay focused on your aspirations. With dedication and a positive mindset, you can turn your dreams into reality and create a fulfilling life journey.
Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I’m still fairly new to the Atlanta area, so I’m still learning a lot about the ATL but, if my friend came into town, I would first say we have to go to the food truck park. I’m a foodie at heart and there ANYONE can find something they like and enjoy. I also enjoy making content so we would definitely hit up Gurl Mobb Museum and find somewhere to SHOP! My girls and I can shop all day long!
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
First and foremost, I’m grateful to God. My faith has been the cornerstone to my success thus far and will continue to guide me. My 3 Royals (Amirah, Travis Jr & Ava), are my REASON and my LIFE! They are my driving factor for success. I would not be here without them. My life partner, my best friend, my support, Harrison. He’s truly been a blessing in disguise, his unwavering support & understanding, listening ear, shoulder to cry on & just allowing me to flourish into the woman I am today and always putting up with my shenanigans. Thank you for always believing in me! My little big baby brother, Steve is also a HUGE part of my journey. He has supported me in so many ways and encourages me so much and I’m forever thankful for him! My mom Angie, My Aunt Monita & My Godmother Kim are also staples in my business and support in every stage of my career. In addition, my Tribe, The Spa Boss Tribe, our visionary, Candace Holyfield, my mentor, she saw my potential and pushed me to get out of my comfort zone and gave me a stage to stand on. She encourages myself and others to pursue our goals. The unyielding support from the Tribe has truly been fresh air living in a new city and not knowing anyone to now having tons of new sisters. I’m forever debited and grateful for Big Candace. And all of my supporters as there wouldn’t be a Royal Glow Aesthetics without them
