We should have got.
I talked to you about gettingthe Berry Berry, the Berry Berry
Bowls, and I did not do thatand I let you down completely on
that.
But I feel like afterwards wecan get a bowl and we'll have a
good time.
Of course I'm gonna turn you uphere a little bit.
This is my shit, so we can justtalk and do whatever we want.

(01:36):
This is what I do.
This is how it sounds whenpeople hear it.
I'm just gonna turn you up likethat Bam doo, doo, doo, doo doo
.
Alright, there we go.
You're here because basically Isee you're a business owner.
You do your thing right.
I am a guy that has no clueabout that world, but I know

(01:56):
women bask in it, they dive init, they love it.
Can you talk to me about whatyour business is?

Speaker 3 (02:04):
Okay, so I own Sparks Aesthetics in Old Town,
Scottsdale, and I specialize inskincare waxing facials.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Those are the three mains.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
Three mains.
I do lash lifts, browlaminations, things like that
too, but I specialize in skinand Brazilians mostly.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Really.
Now, okay, the Brazilian.
Before we started, I told youI'm a tad bit slow, so you're
gonna tell me what the Brazilianis.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
So the Brazilian is.
Let's think of a way that Iwould not.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
You could be as free?
Yeah, you could.
How do you need to break itdown?
You motorwass.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
So that is the full wax on your private parts,
gotcha.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
Women can do it.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
Women can do it a man can do it.
Yeah, it would be a manzillion.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Really.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
Isn't it painful, though it's uncomfortable?
It's uncomfortable, but beautyis pain, yeah so is that?

Speaker 2 (03:02):
what's going on?
Can you say that to a guy andhe'll buy that?
Because we are strong, we cango into the jungle and we can
wrestle with lions and bears,but I don't know about the wax
and how I might come out withtears.
So you're telling me I'm gonnabe alright.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
I mean once you have your results and you're silky
smooth for weeks.
It's worth it.
I mean ten minutes ofdiscomfort, weeks being hairless
and no razor bumps.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
You know it's quick, it's quick too.
Okay, so as we continue,because I want to come back to
the guy, part of that.
But what goes into getting intoyour business?
How did you get into it?
What made you get into it?

Speaker 3 (03:43):
So for me, I always wanted to be in an industry
where I was catering to people.
Like, I'm a very caring,selfless person and I wanted to
do something that was cateringto others.
But I was gonna originally gointo nursing.
But I'm a huge germaphobe, sonursing just wouldn't have been
a good fit for me.
Shout out to all the nursesthat was a very hard job.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
They're superheroes.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
Yeah, for sure, Superheroes, that is a hard job,
y'all are amazing, but thatjust was not the right fit for
me.
So the next thing was thebeauty industry.
You, know, and I've always beensuper into that and it just came
naturally to me and I sat on itfor a few years and still like,
yeah, you know, I'm very Idon't make just rash decisions
Like I had to really make sureit's what I wanted to do.

(04:27):
And when I figured it out, Iwent to school and I was like
you know what, this is gonna bemy thing and you know what.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
What was the schooling like?
How many hours Was it real work?
Did you have to put that workin?

Speaker 3 (04:39):
Yeah.
So aesthetic schooling is, Ithink, about 600 hours you have
to complete to get a license.
Yeah, but a lot of it you don'tlearn in school, like it's
trial and error of learningoutside of school.
Nice, they teach you all thebasics.
You know things you need toknow of.
You know biology, chemistry,things of that sort, Right, but

(05:01):
as far as working on a clientlike, that's kind of something
you just have to learn throughexperience, you know.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
How long were you in school?

Speaker 3 (05:09):
I think schooling was about six months.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
Six months.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
It was not too long, it was like three full days a
week.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Did you have that dread?
Because you, you know kid, youknow Elementary, junior, high,
high school.
If you went to college, did yougo to college?

Speaker 3 (05:25):
For two weeks I went to college.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
That's what I'm saying.
So then you get out of theschool and you don't have to go
to school anymore.
You're an adult, you canfunction in an adult world.
You know to go back to school.
Was that a little bit of a dragwhere you're like I don't know
if I really want to do thatagain I feel like, yeah, school
is never really my thing.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
I am a very smart individual, but I feel like I'm
a very street smart individual,Like I'm not a studying person,
I'm not a, just no Like.
My attention span is not there.
So the fact that I would haveto go back to school to do
aesthetics, I was like, okay, amI really going to take it
serious and do it, because Ididn't want to half-ass it you

(06:05):
know like it had to be done allthe way.
Excuse my language, but I haveto be.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Oh shit, it had to be done, right, you know?

Speaker 3 (06:13):
so that's why I sat on it for so long, because I was
like I'm not going to put themoney out for it and then just
not finish.
You know, because I like tokind of hop around before of
things that I wanted to do and Icouldn't decide what my thing
was going to be.
So I was like, okay, I'm goingto make sure that it's this
before I get started.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
It's always a bit of a process to figure out what
you're going to do in life.
Yeah, it's always.
You try a little here.
You try a little here.
You know what I'm saying.
People, you know, they find itimmediately.
Others, you know, wander,wander the world and all of a
sudden they land on.
You know what?
I am going to train monkeys fora living.
You know what I'm saying.
That's what I am going to do.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
I'm going to do wax scooches.
Wax scooches Same thing.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Carly Sparks is in the building.
We're going to get some clapshere.
Thank you, I still like theword.
I like the word Gucci.
It still brings me joy.
You know what I'm saying?
Okay, wait, wait, okay, okay.
So you did your schooling right, you got in, got your education

(07:21):
and for aesthetics, I'm gettingthat right.
Right, because I had to ask mygirl about it.
It was a whole thing.
I think she's not feeling well,but I think she was, you know,
healthy.
She would have laughed at mebecause I was scared.
But getting out of school,right, did you know you wanted
to get right into owning yourown business or did you work
with somebody before you startedto have your own business?

Speaker 3 (07:44):
You know, actually I knew kind of I wanted to open up
my own thing.
But originally I was thinkingI'll work for somebody to kind
of get the ropes and learn theindustry and then I'll open my
own spot.
But after being in school Idecided because I'm originally
from New Mexico, so I was backhome.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
Now you've messed it up.
Now I'm just going to hop rightinto it.
Remember what you were saying.
I'm going to force you toremember what you were saying.
New Mexico.
Now I'm going to be a nerdright now.
Okay, new Mexico.
You know why New Mexico means alot to me.
You know why?

Speaker 3 (08:18):
Breaking Bad.
Yes, I've never even seenBreaking Bad.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
And that's the end of the show.
There's no more reason to eventalk because you have now
dislocated my heart and it'snothing else to even talk about
anymore.
But yes, breaking Bad is nearand dear to this fucker's heart
right here, and it means so muchto me.
So, okay, go ahead.
You start about to use NewMexico.
Keep going.

Speaker 3 (08:39):
Yes, no, no, but I was in New Mexico when I was in
school and the second I clockedout for my 600 hours.
The next day I packed up my carand moved out here.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
Really, yeah, you had no, but not a grandma or auntie
.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
No, I'm out here by myself.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
You just came out here.
Yeah, Taking risk.
How old were you at the?

Speaker 3 (08:58):
time I was 20, oh the health of my.
Now I was 22.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
So yesterday got you, okay, got you, there, we go got
you Two years ago, three yearsago, you moved out here.
That's a nice gamble you took.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
Yeah, thank you, I tried.
You got a bet on yourself.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
You really do.
You feel like it worked out foryou.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
So far yeah, Of course it did.
Of course it did.
Yeah, of course.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
Okay, you were wait, so you bet on yourself coming
down here from New Mexico.
You get out here, you land,you're in Phoenix, learning
terrain right, moving to a newcity what that?
Feel like to you.
It was scary yeah.

Speaker 3 (09:35):
I'm not a big risk taker.
So I mean I say I'm not, but Iguess I am in a way, you know,
because I keep taking them.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
There you go right.

Speaker 3 (09:44):
But yeah, it was scary, you know, not having like
a game plan and just kind ofgoing off of a whim.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
Right.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
But I knew that I'd make something shake, like
that's who I am, like I'll makesomething out of nothing.
So I was just kind of seeingwhat that would be.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Were there any other cities on your list?

Speaker 3 (10:01):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
What was on there?
Talk to me what was on the listof movie too.
What was on there?

Speaker 3 (10:07):
So I was thinking, maybe like Atlanta.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
Really.

Speaker 3 (10:10):
Chicago or Houston.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
Chicago or Houston, those are all not bad.
Those are not bad places at all.
What stopped you?

Speaker 3 (10:18):
Honestly, like I'm from New Mexico, I grew up in
New Mexico, I was there my wholelife.
I'm very close with my familyand all my family is back there,
so I think for me like takingthat fully.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
You can't hear that, they can't hear that.
But just know that I am settingup TikTok to go live right now
and we just had a blast of somecrazy music.
So that was interesting.
That was very interesting.
I don't.
I don't change anything, I keepeverything in here.
It's more fun that way.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
It's okay, I love it keeps me on my toes Right.
Alright, keep going, thoughdon't don't you know, don't miss
me, yeah, I just I wasn't readyto be that far from my family
you know I have a youngerbrother and I'm super involved
in his life, like he's stillpretty young so I didn't want to
be too far to where.
It was like a trek going backand forth Like I'm still close,

(11:11):
it's an hour flight to go home.
So I just was like you know Iknew a couple girls out here and
you know we were friends.
I was like I'll just move outthere and it's close and the
weather's nice.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
Nice.

Speaker 3 (11:23):
Chicago.
I was like, okay, I don't wantthe weather, I'm not a cool
person, it makes me irritated.
Yeah, so that was out inAtlanta I had.
I didn't know anything aboutAtlanta so I was like maybe I
should not.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
You weren't gonna mess with it.
Huh, you're just like I didn't.
You didn't have nobody outthere and no.

Speaker 3 (11:41):
Uh-uh.
But everyone's like, oh, youwould thrive out in Atlanta.
And I'm like, oh, sell me adream.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
I actually heard I've heard that myself that if you
get out to Atlanta, you willhave some success.
Nah, and I was like you, Idon't know.
You know what I'm saying.
I've gotten to LA a lot.
I don't know if you've gottento LA a lot.
Yeah, did you think about?

Speaker 3 (12:00):
LA at all.
Yeah, I mean, when I wasyounger I was like I'm gonna
move to LA and you know, theolder you get, I'm like LA to me
is overrated and it's expensiveas hell.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
They're gonna be, they're.
You're gonna have some peoplemad at you.

Speaker 3 (12:11):
I know you're gonna be mad, I mean, if you're from
there like I know so many peoplewho are from there and raised
there and yeah.
I mean, I don't know what kindof story, but like if you're
just, you know, reaching forsomething, going LA blindly,
like I think that's, it takes alot of guts, yeah for sure.
And a lot of money and I waslike that's a game I'm not going
to make.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
I was going out to be a Calvin Klein model and, as
you see, and I didn't work out.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
It didn't work out.
I thought that's what I wasgoing to do too, and I was like,
hmm, I'm going to work out, soyou get here.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
I was asking did you work for anybody when you got
here in the city?

Speaker 3 (12:44):
So I had like little jobs.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
Well, how about this?
When you started, when you gotdone with school and you were
like, ok, I'm done with school,did you feel already that you
wanted to have your own business, or did you want to go get some
some skin in the game first?

Speaker 3 (13:00):
as far as like trying , you know, trying what you
learned, you know, you know, Ithought at first I would work
for someone and start mybusiness, so I'm going to do a
twofer type situation, but Iended up having to.
When I moved out here I had toget all my licensing and my
stuff transferred over for thestate of Arizona, and that took

(13:22):
a little longer.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
It was a headache.
Was it a headache?

Speaker 3 (13:24):
It was a huge headache.
So the state board is anightmare to mess with.
You know, you're in theindustry, you know.
But yeah, it took forever.
So I ended up working likeother little jobs that was not
on the game plan to survive,which?

Speaker 2 (13:39):
you have one of those jobs you really hate it, though
.
Which was there one?
You just couldn't stand.

Speaker 3 (13:44):
You know I worked for at Sephora.
Oh, really yeah, and it was.
It was a retail job, you know.
So some people are built forthat.
Props to them because retail isa lot yeah.
I am not, Couldn't do it.
I mean, I did it because youknow you got to, you got to eat.
Yeah, I'm making my day, butyeah, the second, I could get
out of it what was wrong, likejust the environment or the

(14:05):
dealing with people, or yeah,it's so weird because, like I
deal with people for a livingRight.
I love it, but like it's adifferent type of you know
clocking, clock out vibes.
I'm just not, not really intothat, yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
You meant to be your own boss, which you are right
now.
Yeah, so you felt like youcould go work for somebody and
start your business, and you goteverything transferred over.
Yeah, what was the final?
Like you know?
Ok, now I am going to startSparks aesthetics.

Speaker 3 (14:36):
You know, the final little straw.
For me, I think it was justlike taking the leap, like I'm
very much so, like a cautiousperson, like I always joke that
I'm safety Steve, like I don'tmake safety Steve.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
Where is that?
Coming from who says safety,steve I think my mom called me
that one.
Safety Steve, Like everyone'slike you will get a T-shirt that
says safety Steve.
I've never even heard of that.
Hold on, hold on my guys here.
Craig vision have you everheard of safety Steve?
That's got to be like a T-shirt.
It's got to be like a kids TVshow on PBS.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
It sounds like a good idea.
The socket, you can get shocked, but yeah.

Speaker 3 (15:20):
Don't run into the burning building.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
There you go, safety, steve Got you.

Speaker 3 (15:24):
But yeah, like I, just I would have waited and,
waited, and waited until theright time.
Like there is no right time,like you just have to take the
leap, and a lot of credit reallygoes to my late boyfriend cream
, because he was the one thatreally motivated and pushed me.
Like there's no right time,like there's no path that will
be laid out for you to do it,like you just have to take the

(15:45):
risk and do it.
You know, so it was really himthat motivated me to do it.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
A lot of the times you have it in you to do your
own like.
You want to go do your ownthing, but a lot of people I
feel like kind of live.
If you have like a regular jobor something, they live in the
safety net.
Right, they live like I don'twant to mess that up.
I need that check next week.
Whatever the case may be, Idon't want.
I'm going to try to do both, butsometimes you just got to push

(16:12):
it all the way in and thenthere's somebody who helps you
push all your chips in and Ifeel like somebody's always got
somebody.
You know what I'm saying there,whether you've already started
the business and it's running,but maybe it's not doing as well
, and they want to tap out andthey got somebody on their side
like no, don't do that, justkeep going.
So everybody has their, theirearthly guardian angel that can

(16:33):
help push them forward and moveforward Absolutely.
So I'm going to jump back to tothis men in waxing, because
again I want you to repeat thethings that you do for your.
That's it he.
So what about a man's million?
She does, what are you?
She said the Brazilian, theBrazilian waxes.

(16:55):
She talked about the man's.
I'm never, I would, I can't, Ican't do it.
You know what I'm saying.
I feel like, freddie, you getpaid for it more, right?
I'm so, I'm so scared, you know, I couldn't.
But quick, I'm quick, you justlike a look at the camera and I
want you to sell it to the men,because I mean we, like they,
got man's scape.

(17:16):
I mean, listen, I got the tools, I don't fuck around.

Speaker 3 (17:19):
You know I'm saying scape, like you get itchy.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
OK, this is like the shave Right.

Speaker 3 (17:25):
You know, the hair grows back, it's itchy, it's
uncomfortable.
When you wax you're rippingfrom the root, so there's no,
use the word ripping, you are OKit comes out from.
Yeah, ok, I got you, Then it'sgoing to grow back and it comes
in smoother, smaller, you know,uncomfortable.
So that's the main thing.
I know a lot of people thatI've met, male wise, that wax

(17:46):
are like athletes of some sort.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
Really.

Speaker 3 (17:48):
Like swimmers or.
I did hear swimmers do thatLike that is more like clientele
, that I've had guys that don'treally you know, that are just
random, that want to manzily andI haven't necessarily
experienced, but you know some,some.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
So that's the actual name of it is a manzily.

Speaker 3 (18:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
So like it's on a on a sheet.

Speaker 1 (18:11):
Or it's just like the trade.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
Or it's just like the hidden At trade.
I don't know if it's you know,but yeah that's.
But you do recommend it.
You do recommend.
Yeah.
I mean I trust you because youin the business and you killing
it.
So I 100 percent trust you andif I could convince myself, you
know what I'm saying I may evenone day take a journey to that.
So what are your services thatyou offer?

(18:34):
What is the most popular?

Speaker 3 (18:36):
I think the most popular that I'm doing right now
would be facials, so skincare,and the Brazilian is my.
I do full body waxing, so youknow lots of brows underarms,
but the Brazilian is like myevery day.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
See, I told you I'm going to talk to you like I'm a
cave man.
So we're talking facials.
What is the facial do?
Ok, so it involved what you gotgoing in there.
What's what's right?

Speaker 3 (18:59):
So a facial is a service to help you maintain
what you're doing at home.
So a lot of people who don'thave any sort of routine or take
care of their skin in any way.
I recommend starting there withsome sort of home care routine.
You know, if you talk to aprofessional like like myself, I
can help you with that.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
Right.

Speaker 3 (19:21):
But yeah, it is going to be like a 40 60 thing.
So 60 percent is going to be athome that you do on your own,
40 percent will be with aprofessional, like every four
weeks doing a facial every fourweeks Got you.
So that's like.
The recommended amount of time,like every four weeks, is
maintenance for your skin.

Speaker 2 (19:39):
Got you.

Speaker 3 (19:40):
Like people who don't do any sort of maintenance at
home.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
Who just put cold water on their face Wash with
the cold water and the dirtytowel.

Speaker 3 (19:47):
The facial once a month is not going to like help
you much, you know, right Right.
Right so, but it is like a veryrelaxing, calming self care
Like yeah, what is the moodwalking in for the facial?

Speaker 2 (19:58):
What do you have?
Like low lights?
Is it shot in the background?
What's the mood like when youwalk in?

Speaker 3 (20:02):
So I have, you know, the low lights, the candles.
I have a little like oildiffuser.
I try to set the mood, you know, of how I would want to relax,
you know.

Speaker 2 (20:12):
Right.

Speaker 3 (20:13):
But then I do normally like the little R&B
slow vibes in the background.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
Just give me one record is running.
Give me one record is runningright when I walk through the
door for the facial.

Speaker 3 (20:23):
I got to play, you got to play, it was getting one
record that you want.

Speaker 2 (20:26):
If you had to imagine , you know, kim Kardashian is
walking through the door and shegetting the facial done, and
then you need to have thatrecord, that's going to be.
That's really going to set themood.
Ok, what record you going?
What's going to be spending inthe background?

Speaker 3 (20:40):
I feel like either Alina Baraz, I don't know who
that is, but it sounds, soundsgood, she's good, look her up.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
Just tell me to put OK, I'm going to look her up, OK
some shade maybe, sir.

Speaker 3 (20:49):
I like some Sir, ok.
Ok, so it depends.
Like, if you want like theWufsa vibes, I've got that to
like.
I let each client kind of picktheir own playlist.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
Oh no, how long is the facial take?

Speaker 3 (21:00):
So I've got a couple options.
Normally about 50 minutes, butthen I have 30 minute lunchtime
facial too, and then a longer 70minute facial as well.

Speaker 2 (21:10):
Do you do a lot.

Speaker 3 (21:11):
of women come get the lunchtime when they just pop in
and yeah, I feel like if theydo the 30 minutes normally with
other services, so like if theyare getting waxed or you know,
like they'll throw in a 30minute facial but the most
popular one is the the Lux,which is the 70 minute one.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
Can we talk about what's in the face, like what
are you putting on my, like Iwalk in or I bring my girl with
me?
What's going on in the face?

Speaker 3 (21:34):
OK, so we're going to start that was coming.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
See, I told you I'm a caveman, I'm trying to
understand.
I want everybody else tounderstand.

Speaker 3 (21:40):
OK, I love it.
I'm explaining like the ins andouts, I love it.
So we start with a deep cleanse.
So that'll be like washing yourface, but professional style.
So you'll get like to a doublecleanse, what we call it, so
you'll be nice and clean.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
It ain't like mine.
I'll be in there listening toghetto boys and I being.
I just got some stuff burningmy eyes and facial as I shit and
I just get it done.
So I got you yeah not like thatA legit professional
professional double cleanse.

Speaker 3 (22:07):
So you can't go wrong with that.
So we get all the you know mustand crust off so we can start
with a clean surface.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
That's what you got the most, and the crust Must and
the crust Everybody got alittle musk and crust and go
back and then you know we'llexfoliate.

Speaker 3 (22:24):
So, whatever your skin based needs are like, we
could do a chemical exfoliation,which would be.
Like chemical a chemicalexfoliation will not be like a
physical.
So you know when.
You know when I say exfoliationit sounds like a scrub.
Yeah something like so achemical will be like a liquid,
so you won't feel a physicalexfoliation but, it'll be like

(22:47):
still penetrating the skin.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
OK, got you In some way so physical versus chemical.

Speaker 3 (22:52):
There you go, there's .
There's something you want now.

Speaker 2 (22:54):
Keep, keep your mind, I'm about to pop.
I'm about to pop in.
So I had a jalapeno facial atone time.
Is that, is that's real right?
I had that.
It was a jalapeno facial and itburned.
Well, she's on the sheet.
It was a jalapeno and I don'tknow if that's that's not real.
Did she just put some stuff onmy face and had like, she went
back, I got some jalapeno popperjuice and just put it.

(23:15):
Is that what happened?

Speaker 3 (23:17):
I mean I personally have not heard of the jalapeno.
You ain't hearing the jalapeno?
I don't offer that.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
She was dancing around me and stuff.
No, I'm just playing, but I didget a jalapeno.
I did get a jalapeno facial.
Now I'm terrified of what thelady did to me, but I feel like,
yeah, yeah, we exfoliation ofsome sort.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
And then you know the mask, which is everyone loves
the mask.
I mean it's so relaxing to justhave the little brushes on your
face and it's calming, it'slike the best feeling.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
That's cool.

Speaker 3 (23:47):
And then some, you know, massage, shoulder decklute
, facial massage will help withdrainage of your lymphatic
system and puffiness anti-aging.
It's very good relaxing.
So, not like you know.
Full body massage.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
Right, the face is yeah, so what do you?
So, as far as somebody needingto keep that routine, does it
help them stay young, look young?
Is that part of that process?
When it comes to the facial,because I'm going to go through
all these things and theservices that you provide,
you're going to talk in depthabout these.
I want to learn as much aspossible.

Speaker 3 (24:19):
Okay, yeah, I got you .
Yeah, so basically it is a veryyour skin is your largest organ
, so you're wanting to take care.
Yeah, that's my back, so youwant to take care of it, and it
does help with how you age youknow, how you take care of
yourself, like if you never puton sunscreen, you have a higher
chance of skin cancer and allthese other things.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
This is how I jump in .
So so I'm blackety, black,black people need sunscreen,
that's what.
I heard.
But see, but on God's book Ididn't have to put this.
That's what my great-grandma,my great-grandma, you ain't got
to worry about, no, cause I wasalready protected by the juice
of the black.
I didn't know it, but yousaying I still need to put that.

Speaker 3 (24:59):
You got that good melanin, but you still need the
sunscreen.
Okay, all right.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
All right, keep going this.
More knowledge I'm learning,yeah.

Speaker 3 (25:05):
There you go, but I feel like that's, it's like a
cultural thing that black peopleare not taught Like that.
You do need sunscreen.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
For sure I agree, it's just now being a thing that
people are starting to say that.

Speaker 3 (25:16):
So I just feel like knowledge is power, like all we
can do is educate people andit's just about protecting
yourself.
I appreciate it.
Nobody wants to come to ourcity.
We were going to go to Hawaii.

Speaker 2 (25:27):
Yeah, we were going to, I'm going to cut you off.
We were going to go to Hawaiiand then I was told that I
needed some sunscreen and I waslike I don't need sunscreen.
I was like, no, you're going toHawaii, that's not going to get
some sunscreen.
I was like I don't need nosunscreen.
That's what I'm saying.
Look at my skin, you know whatI'm saying.
But then I was put on.
So yes, yes.
Brothers and sisters needsunscreen.

(25:49):
Got you.

Speaker 3 (25:50):
So I will be the one to preach that, that everyone
needs it.
If you got skin, you needsunscreen.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
There you go.

Speaker 3 (25:56):
But yeah, it's just very important to take care of
your skin.
It is how you age, right?
So for women mostly you know alot of men I feel like don't
think about the aging effectsphysically until they age.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
Right.

Speaker 3 (26:09):
And they're like what can I do to look younger?
But like women were just taughtfrom you know as an infant,
like youth and try to keep youthand beauty.
And you know that's like pushedon.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
Also seems like a lot of pressure.
Yeah, it's a little sad.

Speaker 3 (26:23):
I mean for me.
I don't know, I'm in theindustry so it's different, but
I feel like it's just keepingyour skin healthy and everyone
ages.
Aging is natural, it'sinevitable, yeah, and it's just
making sure you age gracefullyand healthy, and you know,
there's no way you can stop it,you know.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
For sure.
Yeah, that's nice coming from a25 year old.
So you see what I did there.
Next on your list, I know yougot the Brazilian.
I heard we talked about theBrazilian but, there was
something in the middle.
What was the?
You said the facials, and thenit was something in the
Brazilian, and then there wasone that I actually sent my lady
to, and because I want to knowabout the middle one that we

(27:03):
just I was just talking about,but it was a oh- but J Shull
there it is.
That's a real thing.
Yeah, that's a real thing.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
It is and I'm.
They're super popular.
I do them all the time.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
So you know they're all like what is a vagacial cost
.

Speaker 3 (27:23):
So you know you're not going to be able to stop it.
Stop it, yes.
What is a?
What is a?
What is a vagacial cost?
So every place you go isdifferent.
There's like an average for perstate, like if you look up like
what is a?
vagacial cost, like in Arizona.
You'll probably get like 80 to120, like around that Okay, 60

(27:44):
to 120 in that realm, and thenyou'll see how they do it and
what you know their serviceentails.
But for me, I do the fullBrazilian wax and then there's
like an exfoliation process.
So it's just like your face,like your skin on your area.
Yeah, you want it smooth.

(28:04):
Right, you want that niceBrazilian, you want to take care
of it, right?
It's like literally a facialfor your vagina.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
Really Wow.

Speaker 3 (28:11):
Yeah.
So they keeps it to pop andthen they really come in.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
They come in by the flocking in there.

Speaker 3 (28:18):
Yeah, all yelling.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
Wow, it's pretty good .

Speaker 3 (28:26):
But it is a real thing.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
So is that like a secret menu, like on Dutch pros,
like you got to?
You know you got to go to thecode.

Speaker 1 (28:35):

Okay, the lash lifts.

Speaker 3 (28:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
What's what's what's a lash lift.

Speaker 3 (29:01):
So a lash lift is basically a perm for you, a perm
Basically.
But you know, hold on A permfor your lashes, but your
natural lashes they're justgoing to kind of perm them so
they stay straight and curled.
So it looks like you have likeyour lashes curled naturally so
they look a little more vibe ofa like you just woke up like

(29:22):
that.
Yeah, yeah, kind of like that,but no, no extensions.
So it's like using your naturallashes, so enhancing your
natural beauty.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
Really.

Speaker 3 (29:31):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
So you don't put no soul glow on there and that like
that.
Do you know what soul glow is?
No, okay, okay.
So what I'm going to do is, nowthat I said that, what's going
to happen is you're going to seethis video and I'm going to
input the soul glow commercialand you're going to.
You're going to find out whatsoul glow is that way.

(29:54):
But you said perm.
I know soul glows Jericho juice, but you said perm and it just
fuck, cause I don't want nopermits for the head.
I didn't know the perm wasgetting with the eye lashes.

Speaker 3 (30:02):
It's just chemicals, so I got you.
You know, maybe I shouldn't saya perm, but it lifts them with
chemicals that may be chemicalsthat basically you use for hair
or for anything like, and itlifts them up.
So they're nice and curled andup and ready to go.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
Is there some like, some benefits to like, health
benefits to it, or just more oflike looking more aesthetic,
yeah, aesthetically pleasing.

Speaker 3 (30:27):
Like every woman wants to wake up and just be
ready to go, you know so theless maintenance you have
requires more services thatprolong your maintenance and not
getting ready every day.

Speaker 2 (30:39):
If you got, you got, you got you the more services.

Speaker 3 (30:41):
you do that require less every day, if that makes
sense.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
When you were looking up the business or starting
your own business.
I know you had to do someresearch.
This is the money making market.

Speaker 3 (30:53):
Huh, very much so.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (30:56):
The beauty industry is.
There's some coins in there andyou just got to know how to get
it.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
We like to call it duckets, but I'll take coins to
conduct it.
So now we're going to jump intoyou, basically getting into
saying, okay, how did you comeup with a Sparks aesthetics?

Speaker 3 (31:12):
Okay, so Sparks aesthetics came because I come
from a very hardworkingbackground of business owners
and my father's business usesour last name, sparks.

Speaker 1 (31:29):

Speaker 3 (31:30):
So I wanted to think of a way to kind of carry that
on, yeah, so I like.
Sparks Enterprises Nice.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
I don't lie, it sounds like something from Star
Trek, but I like it a lot.
I like it a lot yeah.
Contracting painting likeconstruction, yeah, nice.

Speaker 3 (31:47):
So that's obviously not the business I'm in.
So I was like, okay, how can wespin it?
But keep the Sparks, becauseyou know that's kind of my
legacy that I want to keep on.
So I was like okay, Sparksaesthetics, because I'm in
aesthetics.

It's a challenge is because youyou want to have a certain
image or you have to figure outwhat you're trying to portray.

Speaker 1 (40:02):
Right.

Speaker 3 (40:03):
And from a personal Instagram that's like completely
different, at least for me.
Yeah, Um, if you've seen myInstagram, I'm sure you know.

Speaker 2 (40:12):
Yeah, it's just different.
I'm going to insert watch.
When you said as you said, I'mgoing to insert clip.
You know?
Yeah, got you.

Speaker 3 (40:20):
A little different, but um, yeah, just like knowing
what vibes you want to have andlike what content you want to
produce and I feel like for me.
I try to use my comedy as muchas I can, cause I mean, you know
, a lot of people don't know meor how I am, so yeah, yeah, yeah
yeah.

(40:40):
But when they meet me they'relike oh, like you're funny or I
like to think I'm funny.
So I like to make people laughand keep it lighthearted and I'm
like any content that can befunny in a joke like I'm all
about that.

Speaker 2 (40:51):
So do you?
Uh?
What is the?
What do you think?
Uh, as far as platform, socialmedia platform, which platform
you think has helped you themost?

Speaker 3 (40:59):
Instagram Instagram yeah.

Speaker 2 (41:01):
Is that because you're not, you haven't fully
submerged yourself in TikTok?
Or you just think that theGraham people I ain't going to
do that to my club UmInstagram's more, I guess still
home base I would.
I guess, yeah, it feels morecomfortable, Maybe.

Speaker 3 (41:19):
Yeah, I know how to navigate it and.
I know how to use it or whatworks for me, right.
Um, yeah, I'm just morecomfortable making consistent
content for Instagram.
Um, I've definitely had moresuccess using that Right.
It takes time.

Speaker 2 (41:37):
Yes, it does, it does .

Speaker 3 (41:39):
You know, as compared to TikTok, like I've just don't
think I took that as serious,Like it's just there in case.
But you know, I just like watch.

Speaker 2 (41:47):
I'm going to tell you something.
You could get the hours onthere.
Yeah, you got to be careful.
You got to be careful.
There's like two things in mylife I'm a big movie nut and TV
nut.
There's two things in my life,though, that will take me away
from anything important.
Yeah, this is called a duty.

Speaker 3 (42:03):
And.

Speaker 2 (42:03):
TikTok and TikTok, and it's mainly I'm just.
You just end up scrolling, yeah.

Speaker 1 (42:08):
And the day's over, and it's over.

Speaker 2 (42:11):
Um, so I'm sorry, I'm in a whole TikTok world.
So building up your socialmedia yeah, did you end up
working with a lot ofinfluencers or anybody models in
the city?
How did you get that going?
So people knew or women, newmen and women knew what you had

(42:32):
going on.

Speaker 3 (42:33):
Yeah, I worked with a couple influencers.
I should have done more.
I feel like you know, the dayis still young, Like I can
always do more of that and Ithink that I'm wanting to work
with more influencers in thefuture and like do more
collaborations and like justdifferent stuff that I haven't
done yet I did.

(42:55):
Do you know some stuff withlike one influencer Shout out to
her.
She's absolutely amazing, shewas her miss Sexy Aubrey Red, oh
yeah.
Okay, I got you, she is soamazing and so sweet and she's
really supported me from thebeginning of you know, helping
me and wanting to see me succeed.
So shout out to her.
She's amazing, that's dope.

(43:16):
And she was kind of the mainperson that I worked with back
in the beginning who you knowkind of helped me and wanted to
see my vision and that helped.
You know, she made like somecontent for me and we could do
some services together and thatwas amazing.
So that helped a little bit andreally just being consistent on
putting content out there, youknow I definitely notice a

(43:37):
difference when I'm lazy.

Speaker 2 (43:40):
Yeah.
I'm like oh, you have to stayconsistent with it so let's uh,
I'm going to ask you to lookinto the camera and then there's
men and women That'll be apants, and you know this.
Can you go ahead and tell themwhy they should come to?
Sparks aesthetics.

Speaker 3 (44:03):
Well, which camera am I looking at?

Speaker 2 (44:04):
Oh, there's like eight of them, right, and
there's like a ton of lightslike, but the main one here is
the most important ones, themost expensive one.
Okay, I love that.

Speaker 3 (44:11):
I'll take the most expensive.

Speaker 2 (44:12):
Yeah, there we go.

Speaker 3 (44:14):
I think you should come to sparks aesthetics,
because the difference is withyour provider, which your
provider's me.

your needs and will give you acrystal clear, clean service for
some amazing results, I'm yourgirl, listen.

they dragged it out for so long.
And then the last season, itwas like, and it was done.
And I was like what?
Like this is how it ends.
I was like this Very pissed,very upset.

Speaker 2 (58:36):
So when they came with the, what we would consider
what the eighth season is, thatthe eighth season, you would
say, is at the seventh season.
So when he came back with thenew one, which was for me, it
was a solid rebound, I was notupset.
You watched that one.

Speaker 3 (58:49):
I watched like the first episode you got to watch
it, don't let it fool you.

Speaker 2 (58:53):
It was good.
Do not make the mistake ofthinking that they went away
from, like the core of Dexter,like that baseline of what you
like about Dexter it's.
It's actually really solid.

Speaker 3 (59:04):
OK, was it one or two seasons.

Speaker 2 (59:06):
It's just one.
But they wanted to clean.
They knew what they did.
You know what I'm saying.
You know it's dirty with that.
You know what.
I'm saying Like if you you gotbrothers and sisters.

Speaker 3 (59:13):
Yeah, a younger brother.

longer.
