Skin Essentials News Letter
  February/March 2009

A word from our founder...

There is an old saying that goes, "The more things change, the more they stay the same." I don't know who this quote is attributable to, but I do know that it is an enduring truth. I have learned both personally and professionally that in order to move forward, we must not only accept change, but embrace it. It is by embracing change that we adapt and grow. Sometimes, these changes lead us down old and familiar roads. Which is what brings me to tell you of some upcoming changes here at Skin Essentials. For instance, in anticipation of changes which we will be making to the salon area, we are going to return to our original entrance on the quaint and historic Waller Avenue. Additionally, we may be eliminating the full time front desk staff, meaning that we will return to the days when therapists will maintain their own appointment schedules, make confirmation calls, and check out clients following their services.

I want you all to know that with the upcoming changes, as in everything, each decision is made with you, our client, in mind. As you know, we strive to exceed your expectations and on this point we will not compromise! However, we must make adjustments in order to adapt to the current economy and its impact on each of our lives. I will keep you informed of the changes and I will be available to address any questions or concerns that you may have.

-Phyllis Rollins

Reflections From the Heart

I want to thank the clients and staff of Skin Essentials for their continued support through 2008, another wonderful year of being a part of our great community of Greenwood. Lewis and I hosted a Christmas party at our home for the staff, as well as friends, family, and neighbors. At the party, Darla Lordemann was honored with the title of Employee of the Year. This award is determined by fellow staff input and confirms that Darla exemplifies the characteristics that we all strive for: professionalism, integrity, enthusiasm, loyalty, and dedication to the clients, as well as any task at hand. Congratulations, Darla! Moreover, thank you for your leadership by way of example. We love you!
