We recently connected with Valentina Acosta and have shared our conversation below.
Valentina, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. To kick things off, we’d love to hear about things you or your brand do that diverge from the industry standard.
Luna Luxe Aesthetics takes a unique approach in the industry by prioritizing a personalized experience. Instead of following the standard one-size-fits-all model, we understand that individual skincare needs vary. Our focus on tailored solutions ensures each client receives customized care, setting us apart from the more generic practices common in the industry. We aim to be inclusive in our services to give clients proper care without nickel and diming them for every add-on.
Valentina, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
I’m a skincare specialist based out of Colorado Springs, Colorado! I offer skin revision treatments such as customized facials, chemical peels, microneedling, facial cupping, and more. Essentially I help people achieve optimal skin health via a customized treatment plan focused on caring for their skin at home and with me! I have a holistic approach which means I view the body as a whole, and make recommendations based on diet and lifestyle as well.
I do offer a Clear Skin Program which focuses on tackling acne without any harsh prescriptions or treatments. Acne can show up later in life, so a lot of the clients in my acne clearing program are in their mid to late 20’s. The program has a 90% success rate which has been so life changing for my clients! I am proud to say I have cleared every single one of my clients that has gone through with my program.
While I currently specialize in adult acne revision, I also treat aging skin and love making recommendations on how clients can take care of their skin to age gracefully without invasive treatments.
What’s worked well for you in terms of a source for new clients?
Instagram has been a huge source of new clients for me! I feel like I’m able to show off my work and present myself to an audience in a much more authentic way than through a website or facebook. Since I’m always on the app anyway, it’s easy for me to show up and post content and connect with my clients or potential clients that way. While the social media game can be daunting and exhausting in the list of never ending things to do as a business owner, it’s the one thing that has worked for me to gain clientele!
If you have multiple revenue streams in your business, would you mind opening up about what those streams are and how they fit together?
I currently sublease salon suites to other beauty professionals and I also have some affiliate links with skincare brands. I’m trying to grow my ecommerce through my website, instagram, and tiktok! Eventually I want to be able to offer online courses for other estheticians and online mentorship programs as additional income. And also have more salon suites rented! I just love the esthetician community and being able to uplift others!
