Q&A: Ashley Regan, Esthetician and Skincare Expert

What do you value most about working at Balans?
I value all the dedication and non stop hard work that everyone has put in to make Balans happen. I also value our work environment. Balans is a pleasant place to come to everyday, with a healthy and vibrant atmosphere.

Why did you choose to specialize in Esthetics?
I chose to specialize in esthetics because I want to make people not only look beautiful, but feel beautiful. I love the feeling when a client leaves their appointment with a glow on their face and their whole mind & body is at ease. Not to mention, I love the satisfaction of popping blemishes and seeing results in my clients skin after each appointment they have with me.

What inspires you?
I love what I do. I love making people feel good about themselves during their time with me, but also having it go far after they leave their appointment. Each day, I  look forward to being with my clients and make them feel like they are getting the most out of their time with me. My passion is to give them the results they want both physically (appearance of their skin)  and mentally (they are relaxed & in tuned to their body). My favorite is when a client tells me how amazing he or she feels after their appointment and how they feel like a new person. That inspires me to continue to do what I do and also improve on my skills so they always feel that way leaving their appointment with me.

What is your definition of a vibrant health?
I believe that vibrant health is more than just eating healthy. It is also about being in tuned with your body and your surroundings. Vibrant health can be about showing great life, or different energy. It is about making you feel bright and strong in the type of lifestyle you want to live.

How is your training/service/style unique? 
I would say I am unique in what I do because I make it my own. I give my clients what they need for their skin, but  I do it in a way that they feel beyond relaxed. I base my style off how I would want to be treated if I was getting the same treatment done on myself. I never want my clients to feel rushed or feel like they did not receive the treatment they have hoped for. I like to make my clients feel warm and welcome the second they step into my room to the second they leave. I always  make sure my client feel cared for throughout the entire service. I believe that makes me stand out because I truly care how my client feels and about their experience with me.

What do you enjoy spending your time on when you’re not at work/ at Balans?
When I am not working, I like to relax and try not to let stress get in the way. I like to hang with friends and enjoy nice weather. I like to balance my social life, work life, and family time so I can enjoy all of them. I also like take part in as many adventures as I can to experience new things I haven’t before.
