The VEGA | Skincare Studio Concept

Results-oriented, high-tech, animal-friendly skin care and waxing.

That's my idea, in a nutshell.

I have been a Licensed Esthetician for seven years, and a vegetarian for the better part of the last ten years. As an animal lover, I am passionate about protecting the rights of our furry, scaly, and feathery friends. As a skin care specialist, I am committed to effective, results-driven products and treatments. Far too often, I see brands that sacrifice one value for the other; effective but with questionable ingredients, healthy but don't deliver on their promises. Why can't you have both?

My goal is to create a space where the veggie and conscious client can feel confident that the products used will help them achieve optimal skin health (and beauty, of course) using only animal-free, ethically created products.

What We Need & What You Get

My original goal for this project was $10,000, which is what you see over to the right. This amount will help to cover the start up costs, which include securing a location for the business, getting the required permits and licenses, furnishing and equipping the space, establishing a web presence, and the making the opening orders for products and supplies. Opening a business is expensive, even more so when the origin and quality of these products and supplies are of the utmost importance!

Every single little dollar counts in helping meet this goal, and even if the goal is not fully met, will help to cover the essentials, such as insurance, equipment, products and supplies. If I reach my big goal ($10k), VEGA Skincare Studio will be open full time, in a beautiful new community of salon studios in San Francisco's Russian Hill. If the goal is not met, I will do everything I can to still open for business, although the location and hours will be a little more up in the air.

The current perks available include major online gratitude (Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, and the future VEGA Skincare Studio website) for smaller donations, hand crafted vegan soy candles with custom aromatherapy blends, and (for the big spenders) VIP discounts on products and services. Once I hit $5k, the perks will get even better, so let's make that happen!


The Impact

 I believe that skin care should be both results-oriented and cruelty-free, and VEGA Skincare Studio will provide a space where veggie and conscious clients can feel confident that their skin care goals will be met in a relaxing environment using products that are not tested on animals, and that do not contain any animal ingredients. We need to show the cosmetics industry that there is a demand for safe, effective, and cruelty-free products in order to move the industry in the right direction!
