Member Spotlight: Jaclyn Murphy and Kristin Marrah from LuniacGlamour

Jaclyn Murphy and Kristin Marrah are the owners of a fabulous full service salon.

Jaclyn and Kristin are the next Member Spotlight’s of 2013- a few times a month; we’ll chat with one of our members and give you a behind-the-scenes look at their business. 

How did you get the idea for your business?

LuniacGlamour was born when two gals combined forces (formally LuniacStyle and Gloss & Glamour) to unite their dreams. Their concept is a fabulous full service salon; including hair, makeup, skin care, facials, waxing, lash extensions, airbrush tanning and nails all combined with a shoppe full of jewels, clothing, hair adornments, accessories, bags and bridal pieces by local Rhode Island designers. So stop in, get styled, shop your little heart out, and shine out the door! And don’t forget to tell everyone you know!

What has been the most challenging part of your business? What’s the best part?

The most challenging business is not having millions of dollars to do and execute all the ideas we have, however we tend to be pretty savvy with barely nothing into SOMETHING FABULOUS!
The best part is being able to own something that we’re proud of. It’s also a huge compliment to have people come into the shoppe/salon full of excitement and huge smiles at what we’ve created. We’re a one stop shoppe that focuses on such amazing local talent. We really feel proud to have and be a part of such a fun, fabulous, and exciting dream come true.

How did you get the idea for the name of your business?

We combined our former business names… LuniacStyle meets Gloss and Glamour. It felt like the perfect fit!

I’m off to NYC!

Hi PVD Ladies!

Big news here: the time has come for me & Dear Kate to make the move to New York. I can’t express how much I have enjoyed meeting everyone in the PVD Lady Project over the past year and a half and how much I have learned from all our members. Thank you for inspiring me and creating something way bigger than Sierra and I ever imagined. 

I’m excited to stay on board as the Lady Project’s NYC Correspondant meaning that I’ll be recruiting awesome speakers for future events and making connections between new friends and Providence members. Stay tuned for a possible NY based event in the future. :) And of course, if any of you are in NY, please let me know as I’d love to see you and if you need a place to stay while you’re visiting, you know how to reach me. 

xo,

Julie

Member Spotlight: Lynn Goodwin from Rooted in Radiant Health

Lynn Goodwin is the owner and wellness and lifestyle coach for Rooted in Radiant Health.

Lynn is the next Member Spotlight of 2013- a few times a month; we’ll chat with one of our members and give you a behind-the-scenes look at their business. 

How did you get the idea for your business?

When I changed my diet and lifestyle in 2009, I realized how food can be the foundation for leading a balanced and purposeful life. I wanted to share this with everyone so I enrolled at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition to become a wellness and lifestyle coach.  I believe that through the appropriate diet and lifestyle, one can completely transform how they feel and act in the world.

What has been the most challenging part of your business? What’s the best part?

I’m passionate about my work and love working with my amazing clients as they progress along their personal journey. I also love that I’m constantly learning as both a coach and student of Ayurveda.  The challenging part for me is the marketing; it’s definitely been a learning process.  Our ‘mistakes’ are definitely our best teachers.
