The Rebrand!
I began my career into the Beauty & Aesthetics industry in 2021, I used body sculpting before I got married as I was super conscious about my arms and my jaw line! This was the recent none invasive treatment to help me reach my goals along side my diet and exercise routine. I loved it and instantly became interested in the idea of supporting men and women to feel super confident, like I did on my wedding day.
Starting up with the training, machine and couch I was good to go and realised my personal touch and ‘real person’ welcome was bringing people back again and again. At this point my business was called ‘Sculpted by Design’ - designing your body how you wanted it by sculpting the shape you have to enhance or reduce the bits you want.
Once I realised I wanted to venture into more treatments, sculpted by design really didn’t fit in with what I was doing so I needed to think of a rebrand. At the time we were planning on moving back to Loughborough, Mountsorrel from Bedford and so I decided to tie it into the move! Not stressful at all Relocation, Rebrand, Relaunch!
The problem came that the business and reputation I had built up couldn’t come with me an hour and a half way! I sent my clients to another Bedford based salon and prepared myself for a very quiet few months!
During this time we had 2 baby losses and that took it’s toll on me - I had to put this into something positive, firing around ideas of a re-brand, ‘Take Five Beauty & Aesthetics’ was born (excuse the irony) Taking Five minuets to myself was becoming a really important way to cope with the business of the days and feeling better about my outside started to help me feel better inside too. So ta-da Take Five Beauty & Aesthetics, making you feel beautiful inside and out (still my moto today). It wasn’t quite enough though - I wanted to do more, I didn’t know how to remember my losses and didn’t want to ignore that they happened and mask the situation. I had started raising money for Tommy’s baby charity personally so donating 5% of the treatments to a charity in this case Tommy’s felt perfect! Taking Five felt like the least I could do!
Then it was the design of the room, getting it built painted and set up was fast paced and stressful but my vision was slowly making it’s way to life! 2023 was going to be big…I didn’t realise how big…..
