What happens when a seasoned fitness operator trades corporate scale for a people-first medspa? We sit down with Tim, owner of our Kissimmee location, to unpack the leap from front desk shifts and regional ops to franchise leadership, community outreach, and services that genuinely change how people feel in their own skin. This is a candid look at the real work behind a beautiful lobby: hiring with heart, making hard calls early, and learning the medical side while keeping the experience welcoming and accessible.
Tim opens up about the treatments that won him over—IPL for rosacea and broken capillaries, Disport for softened lines, and M Sculpt for powerful, no-downtime muscle toning. He talks openly about being a man in a female-dominated space and how sharing his results helped friends and clients push past stigma. We also spotlight a client’s 60-pound tirzepatide transformation that shows the emotional side of aesthetics: the kind of smile that says, “I’m back.” Along the way, we get into practical tips—sunscreen habits, realistic “guy schedules,” and why Netflix during M Sculpt makes consistency easier.
Beyond the treatment room, you’ll hear how the Kissimmee team shows up in the community—Chamber events, 5Ks, and a pink tea party where Tim gamely joined the hat contest—and why affordability sits at the center of our model. Looking ahead, Tim shares a vision for growth that keeps care accessible and personal, with dream pins on the map from Naples to Puerto Rico. If you’re curious about medspa services, leadership lessons, or how confidence becomes a daily practice, this conversation will meet you where you are.

Welcome to the podcast.
SPEAKER_01 (00:42):
Thank you.
Thank you very much for uh forhaving me on.
SPEAKER_00 (00:45):
Of course.
So tell us a little bit aboutyour backstory.
What were you doing before youfound the world of Couture?
SPEAKER_01 (00:53):
So it goes way back about uh 18 years ago.
Um I used to work with one ofthe uh the co-founders of
Couture at Planet Fitness.
Um my journey started there umas a front desk employee and
sort of worked my way up to uhmorning person, assistant,
manager, regional, and thendirector of operations.
(01:15):
Um and that's where uh we Icrossed paths with uh Eric, uh
one of the founders.
And uh so yeah, he um we'vealways been really close and we
stayed friends, and that's howsort of that journey towards CMS
started a long time ago.
SPEAKER_00 (01:33):
Nice.
So how um we'll go back toopening.
How long have you had Kissimmeefor now?
When did Kasimi open?
SPEAKER_01 (01:40):
So Kissimmee opened in May of 2023, that whole
journey started July of 2022.
SPEAKER_00 (01:47):
Oh, okay.
Yes, yeah so how did how didthat come about?
How did the conversation of youfranchising a Kator Mads false
start?
SPEAKER_01 (01:56):
That it's a very great question.
Um, so as the years went on atPlanet, we continued, you know,
when I started, there was onlysix locations, and then we grew
to 124.
But the bigger we got, uh themore corporate we became.
Um, I've never really been acorporate person.
(02:16):
Um, I liked a small familybusiness.
And one day I just uh I calledEric and just said, you know,
hey, can we meet up?
Uh I just wanted someone to chatwith.
And uh so I met up with him andI just let him know it was it
was becoming too corporate.
And, you know, I was thinking ofleaving.
(02:38):
So I uh he says, he goes, Well,we could think of something.
And I said, All right, well, youknow, it's to the point where
I'm gonna leave and didn'treally know what I was gonna get
into.
Um, so then I ended up leavingthere, and then a few weeks
later, um, Eric called me backup and he said, Hey, let's meet
up.
(02:58):
So he entertained the idea of,hey, would you like to be one of
the franchisees of Couture?
And I thought he was crazy.
I was like, I I never in amillion years, you know, thought
that it would take thatdirection.
And um, so we we met a few moretimes after that.
(03:19):
And then uh before you know it,we were in motion and working on
the the lease for Kissimmee.
SPEAKER_00 (03:26):
Did you have any experience with anything
aesthetics prior?
SPEAKER_01 (03:30):
None, none.
I had none.
Um, the the one thing I'veknown, and and I've known Diane,
the other co-founder.
Um, I've known her um since thebeginning due to uh her and Eric
opening it.
And you know, just knowing thatyou know their mission was to
change people's lives like wedid at Planet, and that's always
resonated with me and it'salways drove me.
(03:52):
Um, but yeah, I didn't know muchabout aesthetics whatsoever.
Never did any services.
Um, so it was very interesting,uh, to say the least when I
started.
SPEAKER_00 (04:04):
So you talked about um not wanting to be a big part
of like a big corporate world.
What about Couture drew you towanting to be a part of that?
SPEAKER_01 (04:14):
Honestly, it was the small family failing, um, being
able to work with a really goodclose friend of mine again.
Um and I was able to visit someof the spas.
And I think I've told you manyof times uh when I came in and
had my facial with you, that wasin the early stages before the
(04:34):
lease was even signed forKassimi.
And just to see how you and theteam how you make an impact on
on individuals and peoplewalking out feeling uh amazing,
I j that really drew me tocouture.
SPEAKER_00 (04:51):
So the early stages you've decided, okay, I'm gonna
do this, I'm gonna open acouture.
What was that feeling like foryou?
SPEAKER_01 (04:59):
Very scary.
Yeah.
Um, I it's it's a big taking umbecause now you're at when you
open your own business, nowyou're responsible for every
individual underneath you.
Um, and something I've alwaystaken very serious.
Um, and it's that's a that's alot of pressure to to ensure,
you know, because it's theirsuccess depends on, you know, me
(05:23):
setting the tone for them.
So it was very scary.
Very scary.
SPEAKER_00 (05:27):
What were some exciting moments for you in the
beginning?
SPEAKER_01 (05:30):
Some exciting moments.
I would say when we actuallysigned the lease for Kissimmee,
and then we were the one of thefirst franchisees, the first one
here in Central Florida.
Um, and then we startedconstruction on the facility
over on 192.
Uh it was really exciting.
(05:53):
And then when I started and Ihired my very first manager, and
me and her were sitting in atent in the parking lot for
three months while they weredoing the construction, it was
it was very exciting to startsomething from the very
beginning, um, and then to getto that point.
SPEAKER_00 (06:13):
Seeing your location for the first time, I was a
little jealous.
You have a standalone locationand it's beautiful.
I mean, all the Kator Metswelllocations are beautiful.
But when I walked into Kissimmeefor the first time, I was like,
it's beautiful in here.
SPEAKER_01 (06:30):
Yes, yes, it's very pretty.
It you know, 4,000 square feet.
Um, and you know, betweenclients coming in, reviews, I
would love to take the creditfor how the inside looks.
But that Diane, she's one of mypartners as well.
She's the one that uh ensuredthat we looked like that and and
that she did a fabulous job.
(06:52):
And the when people walk in, thefirst thing say is wow, this is
amazing.
Um, it's roomy.
So that was uh, and it's stillto this day, it's a great
feeling.
We're two and a half years in,and when people walk in and just
remind us of how beautiful itis, it's uh very humbling.
SPEAKER_00 (07:08):
Did you have any were there any setbacks?
SPEAKER_01 (07:12):
Yes.
So in the beginning, um we myfirst manager, she never managed
before, and and this being my myfirst uh uh business um running
one, and it was tough because uhwe were a couple weeks in and it
was I could see it was tough onher and she was struggling.
(07:34):
So within the first month,making a decision to switch
managers within the first monthof opening, um, that was very
challenging.
Very challenging.
Um, between that and me notcoming from a medical side of
things and now having to overseea provider in our location, very
challenging.
(07:55):
Yes.
SPEAKER_00 (07:56):
Were there any successful or exciting moments
that you were like, okay, thisthis is happening?
Like this is gonna this is gonnatake off.
We're gonna do this.
SPEAKER_01 (08:08):
Yes, I I would say um from the first day we opened,
um, I stood Dita, she was thefirst person to ever walk
through our doors.
She still stays in touch withme.
Um, she moved to anothercountry.
And just for that to be my firstexperience with her coming in,
building that friendship withher, and she enjoyed it so much.
(08:32):
She ended up bringing us a moneyplant, like a money tree for us
to put in in our our facility.
And for that to be my very firstexperience in how things were
gonna go and to set the tone, Ithink it couldn't gotten any
better than that.
SPEAKER_00 (08:50):
That's really cool.
We used to have a money treefrom one of our clients too.
I think we still have it in ourcoe.
They're so good.
I never knew what it was before,and I was like, what is this?
It's a money tree, and we haveto take care of it.
SPEAKER_01 (09:00):
And they're a low maintenance, you just gotta make
sure they're watered and thedirt's gotta be moist.
I'm not no green thumbwhatsoever, but you know, all
the girls there that we have inKissimmee, they love it.
So I let them take that part ofit.
unknown (09:12):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (09:13):
So transitioning to you saying that you didn't
really have any experience inthe aesthetics world.
So now that you've been in itfor a little, um, you know, a
little bit longer, has yourperspective changed about male
representation in the aestheticsworld?
SPEAKER_01 (09:30):
Absolutely.
It's um, and to see the malerepresentation continue to grow,
um, like I said, without Ericand Diane, I wouldn't even have
really known.
Um, I personally do use ourservices, and you know, and one
thing I love and I really enjoyto this day, I have a grandson,
he's three and a half years old.
(09:50):
And when I, you know, when weany store we go to, you know, to
have the the staff there go, oh,your son's also awesome.
And and I'm like, well, no, he'smy grandson.
And um, and because myconfidence feels better with the
services I use.
And when I let them know he's mygrandson, they're like, You
don't look old enough to be agrandfather.
(10:11):
And I said, That's because ofCouture.
It keeps me looking young.
And I, you know, but I thinkit's how I feel on the inside,
which is most important.
Um, but those little commentshere and there, you know, it
goes a long way, really, reallyputs a great outlook on the day
when you hear a comment likethat.
unknown (10:28):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (10:28):
Do you feel like you see more males coming into
Couture to get services thanwhat you thought?
What did you think going intothis and how has that changed?
SPEAKER_01 (10:40):
Yes, because we all know it's a heavily female
dominated, dominated industry.
Um, but the males that havecontinued to come in, they uh
it's steadily increased um forthe last two and a half years
we've been there.
And and I think, you know, we'rein a uh a spot to where it's
(11:00):
okay for men to do Disport inlasers.
And you know, 20 years ago, II've mentioned this myself, I
would have never thought in amillion years I would ever use
Disport.
And now I'm using it every fourmonths, um, doing my lasers, uh,
you know, and and I think that'ssomething great that's you know,
it's changed over time.
Uh 20 years ago, you weren'thearing men doing that and
(11:23):
getting on a podcast and saying,hey, I do Disport and Lasers,
you know, it would uh, and I'msure, you know, my friends, some
of them, they're still gonnamake fun of me, but they also do
services as well.
So yeah, it's it's great to see.
And it's uh, you know, it's youknow, male or female, it it
really just matters on how itmakes an individual feel on the
inside, which is awesome.
SPEAKER_00 (11:45):
Yeah.
What do you think holds a lot ofmales back from coming into a
spa and doing treatments?
SPEAKER_01 (11:50):
I sort of sort of what I just went about, the
stigma of why you're a man, whyare you doing those types of
services?
I think that's you know, still abarrier that we're working,
working towards.
Um, it's coming along, I feel,feel nicely, and and more men
are doing it, more men aretalking about it now.
But yeah, I think it's they'reworried about what others will
(12:10):
think of them.
And it's you know, and it's notabout that.
SPEAKER_00 (12:13):
Yeah.
So talking about yourself doingsome of the treatments, what are
what are some of your favoritetreatments that we offer at
Couture?
SPEAKER_01 (12:21):
My favorite treatments um is our disport.
I do the IPLs consistently, um,and our and our couture facials,
our simple couture facials.
Um, I mentioned it earlier,Lindsay.
Um, the one I did with you.
Um I've done a full bodymassage.
And I think the facial that Ireceived from you in the very
(12:44):
first beginning, it was sorelaxing.
It was peaceful, and I enjoyedthat more than I did a full body
massage.
And something I've always beenself-conscious of is my rosacea
and broken capillaries, whichruns in that side of my my dad's
side of the family.
And it's really cleared it uptremendously.
(13:04):
And and I tell I love tellingeverybody, and if I did it how I
should, it I would be evenfurther along, but I sort of do
it on a guy schedule.
So it's not as uh not as oftenas I should, but the impacts
that it makes and to help withthose, you know, because on the
inside it's always bothered me.
And it's I've come a long waywith that.
SPEAKER_00 (13:26):
We can work on a guy's schedule.
That's fine.
Yes.
As long as you're as long asyou're coming in at some point
and doing them.
SPEAKER_01 (13:32):
And that's it.
And that's what I love tellingclients.
It's you know, you don't evenbecause a lot of it's taking
care of yourself at home usingthe sunscreen, which um I
believe you yelled at me forthat.
I was not a firm believer insunscreen when I will yell at
anyone if you don't wearsunscreen.
Yes, yes.
And uh, so yeah, and it's uhit's just amazing.
(13:52):
And and like I said, it'severything you do, it's to help
take care of yourself, and andthere's nothing wrong with that.
SPEAKER_00 (13:59):
I have to ask, because I last time I saw you,
you just had an IPL treatmentdone.
SPEAKER_01 (14:04):
Oh, it was called your skin feeling.
It was you well, you seen meafter I was done, and you know,
I was I was sort of the guineapig to help with the new girls
with their training, which I Ilove helping them out, and uh so
it goes a little slower, and uhit's it is true, you know, with
beauty comes a little pain, butthey did such an amazing job.
(14:28):
And within a week, my skin andhow it's taken down the redness
in my face, and they hit acouple capillaries that are gone
now.
It it was amazing, amazing.
SPEAKER_00 (14:41):
Yeah, I have to say, looking at your skin right now,
sitting across from you, I Idon't know if it's just the
lighting that we have right now,but when you came in, your skin
looks really good, and nice andfresh.
SPEAKER_01 (14:50):
Yeah, yes, yes, and it's because it it really
impacts that rosacea that I haveand I've struggled with, and
that's hereditary in my family.
SPEAKER_00 (14:57):
Yeah, no, it's looking good.
Are there any you're welcome?
Are there any services thatsurprised you?
Say anything that you justweren't sure about, or you're
like, oh, I didn't know thatcould do that.
SPEAKER_01 (15:11):
Um I would have to say our M sculpt treatment that
it because there's a lot of umother, I don't want to say
there's a lot of other tools outthere like that.
Um and you in their gimmicks,and until I personally started
using it because I'm at workmost of the time, so and I can't
(15:36):
make the gym as much as I wouldlike to, but to do that
treatment once, sometimes twicea week, um, the impact that's
made on me personally, it's beengreat.
And when I'm done, I feelinstant gratification.
And I because I'm not being ableto get to the gym 30 minutes on
(15:56):
M Sculpt, and I'm feelingbetter.
SPEAKER_00 (15:59):
Yeah.
So for anyone who doesn't know,tell them a little bit about
what M Sculpt is.
SPEAKER_01 (16:03):
So M Sculpt, that is, it's like doing 20,000
crunches in 30 minutes, and andit and it feels amazing, and you
feel like you work out whenyou're done, but there's no
downtime.
The next day you're not hurting.
Um, and it's and not only is itburning fat while you're doing
it, it's toning the muscle.
(16:24):
So it's a you're getting, youknow, two for one with it.
And and it's for people withbusy lives and that work a lot,
um, the children, you it's aquick pop-in, 30 minutes, you're
done, and uh, and you're back atit.
So yeah, it's the the the olderwe get, you know, normally the
busier our lives get, and uh,and that's really been a huge
(16:47):
asset.
And uh yeah, it's been great.
SPEAKER_00 (16:50):
Yeah, M sculpt is great.
I love we have clients that comein because we have TVs in the
rooms.
Um clients come in and they arethey have like their their
whatever like episode TV thatthey're watching, like their
show that they're watching.
Yes, and they only watch it whenthey come in to do their M
sculpts and they're like, allright, I'm here to do my M
sculpt and I need to catch up onwhatever show it is.
It's like, who doesn't want towork out that way?
SPEAKER_01 (17:12):
Yes, yeah.
And you bring up a great point.
That's what the clients want.
We have Netflix in there forthem, so they get to that
Netflix, they get to whatthey're streaming, and so now
they get their workout in and tocatch up on their favorite show
that they don't have time for athome.
SPEAKER_00 (17:24):
Exactly.
SPEAKER_01 (17:25):
Yes, we're here for you, yes, yes, and get and get
and get some you know, personalme time.
SPEAKER_00 (17:31):
So do you talk to other males about treatments
that you do?
Yeah, are you pretty open withit?
SPEAKER_01 (17:38):
Oh, yeah, yeah.
It's something um, you know,that I it's what the impact it's
made on me.
Um, I I love sharing that story.
Um, and one of my favoritestories is uh Eric, uh one of my
close friends, me and him werestanding there one day and with
his mother, and me and him weretalking about how we uh do
Disport and Botox and theservices that we offer.
(18:01):
And his ma looked at us and shegoes, I just can't believe I'm
hearing two guys that look likeyou that are using Discord and
Botox.
And we just lost it.
We lost it, you know.
But it's it sharing our stories,I think really helps others know
that um it helps how you feelabout yourself.
(18:21):
And and it's not worrying aboutwhat everybody else thinks, it's
worrying about what how youfeel.
SPEAKER_00 (18:27):
Kind of leads me into the next question, talking
about like, do you see a stepthe aesthetics treatments that
we offer the not just physicalimpact that they have on our
clients, but more of like anemotional confidence impact in
our clients?
What do you see with that withclients coming in?
SPEAKER_01 (18:46):
Yes, absolutely.
And actually last week, uh I wasat the front desk helping the
girls out.
And uh Michael, um, I won't sayhis last name, but he's one of
our clients and he started thetrazepatide shot with us.
And when we were pulling up hisuh before and afters when he
came in, what really stuck outto me, I seen his picture when
(19:06):
he first started, he lost 60pounds.
And then the after picture, thedifference in his smile, that
made me feel amazing.
Because that that's just to seethe difference in that smile,
um, that made me feel it's thisis why I get up every day and do
what I do.
Um, and I and then I ended upcalling him and saying, Michael,
I just seen your he wasecstatic, ecstatic.
SPEAKER_00 (19:29):
I love those stories.
SPEAKER_01 (19:30):
It's the best.
It is the best.
SPEAKER_00 (19:32):
They really are what keep us going.
SPEAKER_01 (19:33):
Yes, it is, it is.
It's in every day that's what Iget up, and you know, and if I
can change one person's life forone day, it's it's worth it.
unknown (19:42):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (19:43):
Now, you guys in Kissimmee, I know you guys have
been doing a lot of um likecommunity events, some different
things out in the community,getting out there.
Tell us about those.
What have you guys been outthere doing?
What are you?
SPEAKER_01 (19:56):

in Kissimmee.
Uh Um, we've done some 5Kbreastwalks.
Um we uh had some other events,uh local events that the
chambers set up.
We just did uh breast cancerawareness two weeks ago um at
one of the local hotels in thearea set up by the chamber.
(20:17):
And and and we were also asponsor um of the of these
events and to uh just get outand hear people's story.
And, you know, we usually willraffle off some of our services
and um just facials coming infor lasers and you know, and
people that when they're goingthrough a tough time and you'll
(20:37):
be able to help them out andjust let them do something that
can help themselves, it's agreat feeling.
It's an amazing feeling.
Um, and it's it's yeah, it'sbeen very humbling and it's it's
been great.
And to see people's faces whenyou can do something nice for
them, um, and that doesn't costthem anything.
Um, I think that's that's whatit's about.
SPEAKER_00 (21:00):
It was the the one that you guys just did.

Wasn't that or didn't you go tolike a T Yes, that was the one.

And uh so we all dressed up.
Um Diane, she uh loaned me oneof her hats.
So they had a hat contest, and Iwas the only male in the hat
contest out of about 20 people.
So uh I stuck out of the crowd.
I I think I came close towinning.
(21:29):
Uh, but one of the ladies beatme out.
Her hat looked uh looked muchbetter than mine.
But uh I think I was close.
I think I was close.

girly things that we ask of yousometimes.

We uh we actually did a teambuilding where we took the team
out for hitting one of theirgoals.
Uh and I did my very firstpedicure with toenail polish
that they tricked me and they Ididn't know there was a gel
coating and whatever I thinkthey it was the gel coating.
(22:05):
I got home and a sander wouldn'thave got this toenail polish up.
But I will say when I'd go tothe beach with my wife, my I
think my toes were lookingbetter than hers.
They did a great job on it, butI couldn't get it off for about
three months.
SPEAKER_00 (22:20):
Um you were always a team player, we love it.
SPEAKER_01 (22:22):
Yes, it's amazing.
And I love being a part of theteam, and you know, and with

as close to to all the team, um,including you, Lindsay, we got
really close.
Um, it's it's been great.
SPEAKER_00 (22:39):
Love it.
Where do you see the future ofCouture going?
SPEAKER_01 (22:43):
Uh, I see Kutor uh getting much bigger.
Um, the way the way we'recapable of changing people's
lives in and making itaffordable.
Um, I I think you know, youasked me in the beginning too,
what sort of drew me to Couture,but making our services
affordable for the averageperson to come in that most
(23:04):
wouldn't be able to do.
Uh, that's another great thingthat we can offer.
And I think, you know, thesooner and the quicker and the
more stores we can open and themore people we can impact.
Um, I think that's where I seeus at.
Yes.
SPEAKER_00 (23:19):
If you had a dream location to open a couture,
where would it be?
SPEAKER_01 (23:23):
A dream location.
Um, it definitely has to besomewhere south of Orlando.
I'm originally from Michigan.
Uh, been here for 18 years, sonowhere in the cold.
I could I couldn't do the cold.
Um, I would have to say probablyin the the Naples area or or
(23:44):
Puerto Rico.
Um, been to Puerto Rico a coupletimes, and being in that climate
and having those views, my dreamlocation would have one right on

Hello and welcome to Kutor Conversations.
I'm your host, Lindsay, leadaesthetician at Kator.
Today I am sitting down with theamazing owner of Kator Medspa
Kasimi, Tim.
We are diving into his journey,what brought him to the world of
aesthetics, what it's likeowning and growing a Kutor
location, and how he's seen thisindustry change lives, including
(00:37):
his own.
Tim.
Yes, welcome.
Welcome to the podcast.
SPEAKER_01 (00:42):
Thank you.
Thank you very much for uh forhaving me on.
SPEAKER_00 (00:45):
Of course.
So tell us a little bit aboutyour backstory.
What were you doing before youfound the world of Couture?
SPEAKER_01 (00:53):
So it goes way back about uh 18 years ago.
Um I used to work with one ofthe uh the co-founders of
Couture at Planet Fitness.
Um my journey started there umas a front desk employee and
sort of worked my way up to uhmorning person, assistant,
manager, regional, and thendirector of operations.
(01:15):
Um and that's where uh we Icrossed paths with uh Eric, uh
one of the founders.
And uh so yeah, he um we'vealways been really close and we
stayed friends, and that's howsort of that journey towards CMS
started a long time ago.
SPEAKER_00 (01:33):
Nice.
So how um we'll go back toopening.
How long have you had Kissimmeefor now?
When did Kasimi open?
SPEAKER_01 (01:40):
So Kissimmee opened in May of 2023, that whole
journey started July of 2022.
SPEAKER_00 (01:47):
Oh, okay.
Yes, yeah so how did how didthat come about?
How did the conversation of youfranchising a Kator Mads false
start?
SPEAKER_01 (01:56):
That it's a very great question.
Um, so as the years went on atPlanet, we continued, you know,
when I started, there was onlysix locations, and then we grew
to 124.
But the bigger we got, uh themore corporate we became.
Um, I've never really been acorporate person.
(02:16):
Um, I liked a small familybusiness.
And one day I just uh I calledEric and just said, you know,
hey, can we meet up?
Uh I just wanted someone to chatwith.
And uh so I met up with him andI just let him know it was it
was becoming too corporate.
And, you know, I was thinking ofleaving.
(02:38):
So I uh he says, he goes, Well,we could think of something.
And I said, All right, well, youknow, it's to the point where
I'm gonna leave and didn'treally know what I was gonna get
into.
Um, so then I ended up leavingthere, and then a few weeks
later, um, Eric called me backup and he said, Hey, let's meet
up.
(02:58):
So he entertained the idea of,hey, would you like to be one of
the franchisees of Couture?
And I thought he was crazy.
I was like, I I never in amillion years, you know, thought
that it would take thatdirection.
And um, so we we met a few moretimes after that.
(03:19):
And then uh before you know it,we were in motion and working on
the the lease for Kissimmee.
SPEAKER_00 (03:26):
Did you have any experience with anything
aesthetics prior?
SPEAKER_01 (03:30):
None, none.
I had none.
Um, the the one thing I'veknown, and and I've known Diane,
the other co-founder.
Um, I've known her um since thebeginning due to uh her and Eric
opening it.
And you know, just knowing thatyou know their mission was to
change people's lives like wedid at Planet, and that's always
resonated with me and it'salways drove me.
(03:52):
Um, but yeah, I didn't know muchabout aesthetics whatsoever.
Never did any services.
Um, so it was very interesting,uh, to say the least when I
started.
SPEAKER_00 (04:04):
So you talked about um not wanting to be a big part
of like a big corporate world.
What about Couture drew you towanting to be a part of that?
SPEAKER_01 (04:14):
Honestly, it was the small family failing, um, being
able to work with a really goodclose friend of mine again.
Um and I was able to visit someof the spas.
And I think I've told you manyof times uh when I came in and
had my facial with you, that wasin the early stages before the
(04:34):
lease was even signed forKassimi.
And just to see how you and theteam how you make an impact on
on individuals and peoplewalking out feeling uh amazing,
I j that really drew me tocouture.
SPEAKER_00 (04:51):
So the early stages you've decided, okay, I'm gonna
do this, I'm gonna open acouture.
What was that feeling like foryou?
SPEAKER_01 (04:59):
Very scary.
Yeah.
Um, I it's it's a big taking umbecause now you're at when you
open your own business, nowyou're responsible for every
individual underneath you.
Um, and something I've alwaystaken very serious.
Um, and it's that's a that's alot of pressure to to ensure,
you know, because it's theirsuccess depends on, you know, me
(05:23):
setting the tone for them.
So it was very scary.
Very scary.
SPEAKER_00 (05:27):
What were some exciting moments for you in the
beginning?
SPEAKER_01 (05:30):
Some exciting moments.
I would say when we actuallysigned the lease for Kissimmee,
and then we were the one of thefirst franchisees, the first one
here in Central Florida.
Um, and then we startedconstruction on the facility
over on 192.
Uh it was really exciting.
(05:53):
And then when I started and Ihired my very first manager, and
me and her were sitting in atent in the parking lot for
three months while they weredoing the construction, it was
it was very exciting to startsomething from the very
beginning, um, and then to getto that point.
SPEAKER_00 (06:13):
Seeing your location for the first time, I was a
little jealous.
You have a standalone locationand it's beautiful.
I mean, all the Kator Metswelllocations are beautiful.
But when I walked into Kissimmeefor the first time, I was like,
it's beautiful in here.
SPEAKER_01 (06:30):
Yes, yes, it's very pretty.
It you know, 4,000 square feet.
Um, and you know, betweenclients coming in, reviews, I
would love to take the creditfor how the inside looks.
But that Diane, she's one of mypartners as well.
She's the one that uh ensuredthat we looked like that and and
that she did a fabulous job.
(06:52):
And the when people walk in, thefirst thing say is wow, this is
amazing.
Um, it's roomy.
So that was uh, and it's stillto this day, it's a great
feeling.
We're two and a half years in,and when people walk in and just
remind us of how beautiful itis, it's uh very humbling.
SPEAKER_00 (07:08):
Did you have any were there any setbacks?
SPEAKER_01 (07:12):
Yes.
So in the beginning, um we myfirst manager, she never managed
before, and and this being my myfirst uh uh business um running
one, and it was tough because uhwe were a couple weeks in and it
was I could see it was tough onher and she was struggling.
(07:34):
So within the first month,making a decision to switch
managers within the first monthof opening, um, that was very
challenging.
Very challenging.
Um, between that and me notcoming from a medical side of
things and now having to overseea provider in our location, very
challenging.
(07:55):
Yes.
SPEAKER_00 (07:56):
Were there any successful or exciting moments
that you were like, okay, thisthis is happening?
Like this is gonna this is gonnatake off.
We're gonna do this.
SPEAKER_01 (08:08):
Yes, I I would say um from the first day we opened,
um, I stood Dita, she was thefirst person to ever walk
through our doors.
She still stays in touch withme.
Um, she moved to anothercountry.
And just for that to be my firstexperience with her coming in,
building that friendship withher, and she enjoyed it so much.
(08:32):
She ended up bringing us a moneyplant, like a money tree for us
to put in in our our facility.
And for that to be my very firstexperience in how things were
gonna go and to set the tone, Ithink it couldn't gotten any
better than that.
SPEAKER_00 (08:50):
That's really cool.
We used to have a money treefrom one of our clients too.
I think we still have it in ourcoe.
They're so good.
I never knew what it was before,and I was like, what is this?
It's a money tree, and we haveto take care of it.
SPEAKER_01 (09:00):
And they're a low maintenance, you just gotta make
sure they're watered and thedirt's gotta be moist.
I'm not no green thumbwhatsoever, but you know, all
the girls there that we have inKissimmee, they love it.
So I let them take that part ofit.
unknown (09:12):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (09:13):
So transitioning to you saying that you didn't
really have any experience inthe aesthetics world.
So now that you've been in itfor a little, um, you know, a
little bit longer, has yourperspective changed about male
representation in the aestheticsworld?
SPEAKER_01 (09:30):
Absolutely.
It's um, and to see the malerepresentation continue to grow,
um, like I said, without Ericand Diane, I wouldn't even have
really known.
Um, I personally do use ourservices, and you know, and one
thing I love and I really enjoyto this day, I have a grandson,
he's three and a half years old.
(09:50):
And when I, you know, when weany store we go to, you know, to
have the the staff there go, oh,your son's also awesome.
And and I'm like, well, no, he'smy grandson.
And um, and because myconfidence feels better with the
services I use.
And when I let them know he's mygrandson, they're like, You
don't look old enough to be agrandfather.
(10:11):
And I said, That's because ofCouture.
It keeps me looking young.
And I, you know, but I thinkit's how I feel on the inside,
which is most important.
Um, but those little commentshere and there, you know, it
goes a long way, really, reallyputs a great outlook on the day
when you hear a comment likethat.
unknown (10:28):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (10:28):
Do you feel like you see more males coming into
Couture to get services thanwhat you thought?
What did you think going intothis and how has that changed?
SPEAKER_01 (10:40):
Yes, because we all know it's a heavily female
dominated, dominated industry.
Um, but the males that havecontinued to come in, they uh
it's steadily increased um forthe last two and a half years
we've been there.
And and I think, you know, we'rein a uh a spot to where it's
(11:00):
okay for men to do Disport inlasers.
And you know, 20 years ago, II've mentioned this myself, I
would have never thought in amillion years I would ever use
Disport.
And now I'm using it every fourmonths, um, doing my lasers, uh,
you know, and and I think that'ssomething great that's you know,
it's changed over time.
Uh 20 years ago, you weren'thearing men doing that and
(11:23):
getting on a podcast and saying,hey, I do Disport and Lasers,
you know, it would uh, and I'msure, you know, my friends, some
of them, they're still gonnamake fun of me, but they also do
services as well.
So yeah, it's it's great to see.
And it's uh, you know, it's youknow, male or female, it it
really just matters on how itmakes an individual feel on the
inside, which is awesome.
SPEAKER_00 (11:45):
Yeah.
What do you think holds a lot ofmales back from coming into a
spa and doing treatments?
SPEAKER_01 (11:50):
I sort of sort of what I just went about, the
stigma of why you're a man, whyare you doing those types of
services?
I think that's you know, still abarrier that we're working,
working towards.
Um, it's coming along, I feel,feel nicely, and and more men
are doing it, more men aretalking about it now.
But yeah, I think it's they'reworried about what others will
(12:10):
think of them.
And it's you know, and it's notabout that.
SPEAKER_00 (12:13):
Yeah.
So talking about yourself doingsome of the treatments, what are
what are some of your favoritetreatments that we offer at
Couture?
SPEAKER_01 (12:21):
My favorite treatments um is our disport.
I do the IPLs consistently, um,and our and our couture facials,
our simple couture facials.
Um, I mentioned it earlier,Lindsay.
Um, the one I did with you.
Um I've done a full bodymassage.
And I think the facial that Ireceived from you in the very
(12:44):
first beginning, it was sorelaxing.
It was peaceful, and I enjoyedthat more than I did a full body
massage.
And something I've always beenself-conscious of is my rosacea
and broken capillaries, whichruns in that side of my my dad's
side of the family.
And it's really cleared it uptremendously.
(13:04):
And and I tell I love tellingeverybody, and if I did it how I
should, it I would be evenfurther along, but I sort of do
it on a guy schedule.
So it's not as uh not as oftenas I should, but the impacts
that it makes and to help withthose, you know, because on the
inside it's always bothered me.
And it's I've come a long waywith that.
SPEAKER_00 (13:26):
We can work on a guy's schedule.
That's fine.
Yes.
As long as you're as long asyou're coming in at some point
and doing them.
SPEAKER_01 (13:32):
And that's it.
And that's what I love tellingclients.
It's you know, you don't evenbecause a lot of it's taking
care of yourself at home usingthe sunscreen, which um I
believe you yelled at me forthat.
I was not a firm believer insunscreen when I will yell at
anyone if you don't wearsunscreen.
Yes, yes.
And uh, so yeah, and it's uhit's just amazing.
(13:52):
And and like I said, it'severything you do, it's to help
take care of yourself, and andthere's nothing wrong with that.
SPEAKER_00 (13:59):
I have to ask, because I last time I saw you,
you just had an IPL treatmentdone.
SPEAKER_01 (14:04):
Oh, it was called your skin feeling.
It was you well, you seen meafter I was done, and you know,
I was I was sort of the guineapig to help with the new girls
with their training, which I Ilove helping them out, and uh so
it goes a little slower, and uhit's it is true, you know, with
beauty comes a little pain, butthey did such an amazing job.
(14:28):
And within a week, my skin andhow it's taken down the redness
in my face, and they hit acouple capillaries that are gone
now.
It it was amazing, amazing.
SPEAKER_00 (14:41):
Yeah, I have to say, looking at your skin right now,
sitting across from you, I Idon't know if it's just the
lighting that we have right now,but when you came in, your skin
looks really good, and nice andfresh.
SPEAKER_01 (14:50):
Yeah, yes, yes, and it's because it it really
impacts that rosacea that I haveand I've struggled with, and
that's hereditary in my family.
SPEAKER_00 (14:57):
Yeah, no, it's looking good.
Are there any you're welcome?
Are there any services thatsurprised you?
Say anything that you justweren't sure about, or you're
like, oh, I didn't know thatcould do that.
SPEAKER_01 (15:11):
Um I would have to say our M sculpt treatment that
it because there's a lot of umother, I don't want to say
there's a lot of other tools outthere like that.
Um and you in their gimmicks,and until I personally started
using it because I'm at workmost of the time, so and I can't
(15:36):
make the gym as much as I wouldlike to, but to do that
treatment once, sometimes twicea week, um, the impact that's
made on me personally, it's beengreat.
And when I'm done, I feelinstant gratification.
And I because I'm not being ableto get to the gym 30 minutes on
(15:56):
M Sculpt, and I'm feelingbetter.
SPEAKER_00 (15:59):
Yeah.
So for anyone who doesn't know,tell them a little bit about
what M Sculpt is.
SPEAKER_01 (16:03):
So M Sculpt, that is, it's like doing 20,000
crunches in 30 minutes, and andit and it feels amazing, and you
feel like you work out whenyou're done, but there's no
downtime.
The next day you're not hurting.
Um, and it's and not only is itburning fat while you're doing
it, it's toning the muscle.
(16:24):
So it's a you're getting, youknow, two for one with it.
And and it's for people withbusy lives and that work a lot,
um, the children, you it's aquick pop-in, 30 minutes, you're
done, and uh, and you're back atit.
So yeah, it's the the the olderwe get, you know, normally the
busier our lives get, and uh,and that's really been a huge
(16:47):
asset.
And uh yeah, it's been great.
SPEAKER_00 (16:50):
Yeah, M sculpt is great.
I love we have clients that comein because we have TVs in the
rooms.
Um clients come in and they arethey have like their their
whatever like episode TV thatthey're watching, like their
show that they're watching.
Yes, and they only watch it whenthey come in to do their M
sculpts and they're like, allright, I'm here to do my M
sculpt and I need to catch up onwhatever show it is.
It's like, who doesn't want towork out that way?
SPEAKER_01 (17:12):
Yes, yeah.
And you bring up a great point.
That's what the clients want.
We have Netflix in there forthem, so they get to that
Netflix, they get to whatthey're streaming, and so now
they get their workout in and tocatch up on their favorite show
that they don't have time for athome.
SPEAKER_00 (17:24):
Exactly.
SPEAKER_01 (17:25):
Yes, we're here for you, yes, yes, and get and get
and get some you know, personalme time.
SPEAKER_00 (17:31):
So do you talk to other males about treatments
that you do?
Yeah, are you pretty open withit?
SPEAKER_01 (17:38):
Oh, yeah, yeah.
It's something um, you know,that I it's what the impact it's
made on me.
Um, I I love sharing that story.
Um, and one of my favoritestories is uh Eric, uh one of my
close friends, me and him werestanding there one day and with
his mother, and me and him weretalking about how we uh do
Disport and Botox and theservices that we offer.
(18:01):
And his ma looked at us and shegoes, I just can't believe I'm
hearing two guys that look likeyou that are using Discord and
Botox.
And we just lost it.
We lost it, you know.
But it's it sharing our stories,I think really helps others know
that um it helps how you feelabout yourself.
(18:21):
And and it's not worrying aboutwhat everybody else thinks, it's
worrying about what how youfeel.
SPEAKER_00 (18:27):
Kind of leads me into the next question, talking
about like, do you see a stepthe aesthetics treatments that
we offer the not just physicalimpact that they have on our
clients, but more of like anemotional confidence impact in
our clients?
What do you see with that withclients coming in?
SPEAKER_01 (18:46):
Yes, absolutely.
And actually last week, uh I wasat the front desk helping the
girls out.
And uh Michael, um, I won't sayhis last name, but he's one of
our clients and he started thetrazepatide shot with us.
And when we were pulling up hisuh before and afters when he
came in, what really stuck outto me, I seen his picture when
(19:06):
he first started, he lost 60pounds.
And then the after picture, thedifference in his smile, that
made me feel amazing.
Because that that's just to seethe difference in that smile,
um, that made me feel it's thisis why I get up every day and do
what I do.
Um, and I and then I ended upcalling him and saying, Michael,
I just seen your he wasecstatic, ecstatic.
SPEAKER_00 (19:29):
I love those stories.
SPEAKER_01 (19:30):
It's the best.
It is the best.
SPEAKER_00 (19:32):
They really are what keep us going.
SPEAKER_01 (19:33):
Yes, it is, it is.
It's in every day that's what Iget up, and you know, and if I
can change one person's life forone day, it's it's worth it.
unknown (19:42):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (19:43):
Now, you guys in Kissimmee, I know you guys have
been doing a lot of um likecommunity events, some different
things out in the community,getting out there.
Tell us about those.
What have you guys been outthere doing?
What are you?
SPEAKER_01 (19:56):
Yes, we uh so we're part of the Chamber of Commerce
in Kissimmee.
Uh Um, we've done some 5Kbreastwalks.
Um we uh had some other events,uh local events that the
chambers set up.
We just did uh breast cancerawareness two weeks ago um at
one of the local hotels in thearea set up by the chamber.
(20:17):
And and and we were also asponsor um of the of these
events and to uh just get outand hear people's story.
And, you know, we usually willraffle off some of our services
and um just facials coming infor lasers and you know, and
people that when they're goingthrough a tough time and you'll
(20:37):
be able to help them out andjust let them do something that
can help themselves, it's agreat feeling.
It's an amazing feeling.
Um, and it's it's yeah, it'sbeen very humbling and it's it's
been great.
And to see people's faces whenyou can do something nice for
them, um, and that doesn't costthem anything.
Um, I think that's that's whatit's about.
SPEAKER_00 (21:00):
It was the the one that you guys just did.
What was the T one that you wentto?
Wasn't that or didn't you go tolike a T Yes, that was the one.
SPEAKER_01 (21:07):
Yes, it was the the pink tea party.
Yes, that was the name of it.
And uh so we all dressed up.
Um Diane, she uh loaned me oneof her hats.
So they had a hat contest, and Iwas the only male in the hat
contest out of about 20 people.
So uh I stuck out of the crowd.
