Who is your customer?

Our customers come from all over Southern California, and quickly become loyal to our beauty haven.

How did you come up with the idea for your business?

I was at a turning point in my career, and decided that in order for me to continue growing my practice, I needed to create what I considered the ultimate environment to work & receive spa & salon treatments in....which is how Nova Vita Salon & Spa was born. It is a true beauty haven & blissful relaxation sanctuary.

How long have you been in business?

I have been a practicing esthetician for 15 years, and have been the proud owner of Nova Vita Salon & Spa for 5 years.

What's been your greatest moment so far? (i.e. Signing your first client, getting the big order, some great PR?)

The greatest moment came this year when I saw my first piece of editorial coverage in 944 Magazine. It was truly motivating.

What was your biggest mistake?

I truly believe there are no mistakes, just opportunites to gain greater knowledge on this journey we call life.

What was your smartest move?

Opening Nova Vita Salon & Spa. It was the next natural extension of my services as an esthetician.

What are your business plans? (i.e. Expansion, franchising, selling for a gazillion dollars?)

We are currently working to expand our spa and look forward to the exciting opportunities that is will bring.

Are you a member of any OC-based associations, networking groups, etc?

We are active members of the Tustin Chamber of Commerce & annually partner with the Joyful Foundation, YSC (Young Survivors Coalition), and Toys for Tots. We are also into social media networking.
