How Has XTC Worked For Your Salon?
XTC has made my dreams come true! About a year-and-a-half ago, I was on Facebook and saw an ad to become a Trichologist. I was interested in what that was, since the technical term for being an electrologist is a hypertrichologist. Once I realized it was becoming an expert in helping to restore the hair on the head, I knew immediately that this was the next step in my career path. I could finally help myself. I know first-hand as a teenager getting teased- some rotten kids in class would say “looks like Lisa is bald head” because you would see my scalp when I poufed my hair (which was the style in high school.) I have had low self-esteem from that point on, until I learned how to improve these issues on myself!
I took the class with US Trichology Institute and XTC Hair Rejuvenation Systems is the sponsor company. Since taking classes, my business has grown! I now offer laser therapy and their unique multi therapeutic approach to regrow hair. It’s grown so much that I am moving my business in with a very successful OB/GYN office. I was invited to join them. I am so super excited for the opportunity to have 4 OB doctors and a plastic surgeons patients walking by my door every day! I am ready for my business to explode! Thanks to everyone at XTC for helping me make my dreams come true – and, more, importantly, making my own nightmare of thinning hair go away for GOOD!

An Experience You Learned From
I was teased in high school for having thin hair, hairy arms & bad skin. I actually thanked one of the biggest offenders a few years after graduating- his unkind words helped point me to my career path. I told him this as he stacked grocery store shelves while I’m running my own business. #itsthelittlethingsthatmakemesmile #SorryNOTSorry

Best Piece of Advice You’ve Received
Stop & smell the roses. I need to take that advice more often!
Greatest Accomplishment
I would have to say that all the steps I’ve taken to advance my career have also helped with self-esteem issues I grew up with. Starting with Electrolysis to get my pesky chin hairs under control, then on to facials & clinical skin care and last but NOT least Trichology. I easily build a nice rapport [ with clients ] since I can relate, share my own experiences and show the clients my own before & after photos. Personally, [ my greatest accomplishment ] is marrying my husband- he puts up with A LOT! And being a mom is up there, too.
