Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Trinae Lashley. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Trinae, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. We’d love to have you retell us the story behind how you came up with the idea for your business, I think our audience would really enjoy hearing the backstory.
The idea started back when my kids were small & I was a single mom working 12 -hour shift in the hospital. I needed hair & nail care, but all locations were closed when I got off work or required an appointment. Self-care was very difficult. I had the thought to help other single moms & people in general by opening a med spa that offers all services in 1 location & takes walk-ins. This way, busy women can stop in while on a break or just find a spare moment. The name came from my best friend’s words of “go be beautiful” so I named the spa Bbeautiful Injectables
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
my name is Trinae Lashley & I am a mother of 3 now grown kids & 2 grandbabies! I have been a RN since 1`992. I have 15 years’ experience in CVICU/ER & 15 years in Dialysis. I worked as the Regional Director of Operations in TN & AL. I became burned out during covid & decided to get certified as an injectable nurse. I worked under a mentor for 2 years & then decided to open my own, here in Murfreesboro. I found the location & finally opened in Jan of this year! We have 3 aestheticians that do facials, waxing, lashes, etc. 2 RN’s & 1 NP that do all of the injectables, a brow artist, a makeup artist, a spray tan artist, we do non-surgical face or neck lifts & nose jobs as well. I recently acquired a salt cave in the same shopping center & plan to add massage & salt yoga! We have a treatment for anything that is a problem area.
I think what sets us apart is that we are transparent. & have our prices listed on-line without having to fill out info & be harassed via phone or email. We take walk-ins. We will take after hours appointments to accommodate. We offer all beauty needs in one location & stay open later than the other spas.
I am proud of the fact that I will hire new grads & offer them the chance to learn & perfect their skill under my supervision. We offer top quality treatments & at a lower rate than most.
What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?
Upon the decision to open in Murfreesboro, I started marketing immediately. We made sure our logo is in front of the community in many different venues. I joined the Chamber of Commerce & started networking and meeting people. I participate in other new businesses ribbon cutting & am even on the board at GCI college. I am also a member of the International Women Business Association. It is ongoi0ng with efforts to ensure that people see & remember the logo & come by the spa.
How did you put together the initial capital you needed to start your business?
Upon deciding to make the career change; I sold my jeep & my home. I paid off all of the bills I owed & started saving capital to open the business without needing a loan. The plan worked well & I now own 2 businesses.
