Conversations with Jovana Daniel

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jovana Daniel.

Hi Jovana, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
Juli and I were employees at Chrysalis Salon & Spa. That’s actually where we met. There was one day in the summer of June 2016 when Juli and I went out for food and drinks. It was that day when Juli asked me about partnering up and opening our own business. I looked at her and said, “you’re crazy!”. Sure enough, within a week or two after that day the opportunity presented itself to buy Chrysalis Salon & Spa. We did not see this coming, and everything happened so fast. We bought the business and looked at other spaces to relocate to. We knew we wanted to expand and make the salon our very own. We found the perfect space, built it out the way we wanted. Now here we are celebrating 10 years.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
It was definitely a journey full of good and bad surprises. Probably the biggest struggle was dealing with the city during our build out. Inspections were necessary every step of the way and that also came with last minute requirements/changes that we were not expecting. Those changes easily added more time delay to opening up and well as more money needed to cover those costs.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I am a hair stylist. Ive been doing hair for 19 years. What sets me apart from other stylists is my creativity. Most stylists do their work by the book so to speak. They follow the rules they learned in school or perhaps from other educators. Creativity doesn’t follow that 100% of the time. My mind works differently into creating the color and cut i envision for my clients. Especially those that are open to something different. My work is unique and different. That’s what I’m known for.

Juli is an esthetician. She’s so knowledgeable in skin care from acne prone skin to fine lines and wrinkles. You name it, she knows about it. She’s known for her facials and waxing services. She takes her time to give every customer a relaxing experience followed by skin care products that the customer can take home and continue to make progress on their skin care needs. Waxing is just as important. One of her main priorities is to make sure her clients feel comfortable. She makes sure to use the right techniques and wax on all of her customers.

Can you talk to us a bit about happiness and what makes you happy?
I love seeing customers interacting, loving the finished product. I love seeing my staff work as a team. I’m absolutely in love with my salon. I’m always happy to be there
