Meet Alicia Bolds

Today we’d like to introduce you to Alicia Bolds.

Hi, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
Bee’s House of Esthetics formerly known as Bee’s House of Minks started in 2017. I was a new mom and college student taking 15/16 credit hours at a time. I started off with lashes, and business was extremely slow.

I traveled to Atlanta for more training in 2018 and I’ve been soaring ever since. I attended Cosmetology school in 2020 to get my license to open up a shop. I graduated in 2021 and later that year opened my own suite.

I expanded to facials, wax, brows, and body sculpting. Now, my business has new and improved services. I service men and women in the Savannah, GA area.

My clientele is amazing and my social media presence is on the rise. I also offer classes for people pursuing to go to school to receive a license as well.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It definitely wasn’t a smooth road. I felt defeated many times because my clientele was up and down, I didn’t know how to market, and I didn’t know who my target audience was initially.

Word of mouth and social media helped my business a lot. I encountered rude customers but most importantly gained the best ones.

I appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I’m a spa owner who offers lash extensions, wax, facials, body sculpting, brows, health & wellness. I started off being known for just lash extensions but over the years, I expanded.

What sets me apart from others is that I have a no-judgment zone. When you come through my doors, you can be yourself and transparent. There’s no need to be tense or embarrassed. I love making people feel brand new when they walk out my doors.

I’m most proud of growing loyal and consistent relationships with my clients. It feels my heart with joy to know they love me and will continue to get services from me. My brand will be big, I’ll have celebrity clients soon and a bigger location.

I also would hope to travel to different cities to service people and teach.

Can you talk to us a bit about happiness and what makes you happy?
Happiness means everything to me. What makes me happy is knowing I can enhance people’s image within and they’re exterior and make them feel beautiful/comfortable. Teaching and growing my business also makes me happy. I am very passionate about my business, so overall it makes me happy to get up every day and service people.
