We had the good fortune of connecting with Madison Droz and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Madison, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Well let’s start off with a quick backstory/mini timeline. I graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University with my bachelors of science in Resort & Hospitality Management with a concentration in spa management in 2018. I then received my aestheticians license in 2019 and my laser license in 2021.

During my college career, I worked for prestigious companies such as the Ritz Carlton resort & spa in Naples, Florida and an exclusive country club in Fort Myers, Florida called Miromar Lakes. I had the opportunity of running the front desk at both locations and received many awards/recognitions for my customer service. After my resort/country club experience, I started working for a medical spa and that’s where I finally decided what path I truly wanted to take & what I wanted to do with my career; I wanted to help people with their skin through true passion, proper knowledge, tailored medical treatments and efficient products for every skin type & all ages!

During Covid 2020, there was this quote I read that really stuck with me “If you don’t build your dream, someone will hire you to help build theirs. – Tony Gaskins” So in 2021, I decided to follow my own dream and start my own business – GVO GLO AESTHETICS ✨ I am so grateful and blessed for the opportunity of being able to be a business owner and be my own boss.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
About GVO GLO aesthetics & what I want the world to know about me & my brand:

* At GVO GLO Aesthetics, it’s all about good vibes only. When you have radiant, clean, healthy skin, not only are you glowing on the outside, but it helps you glow on the inside too; your energy, confidence & aura shine as well. Making people feel confident, while educating them about their skin, as well as helping them achieve the best skin of their life is my main goal as an aesthetician. I pride myself in creating a safe, clean and comfortable environment where my clients can relax, learn, enjoy and leave feeling their best!

What sets me apart:
* What sets me apart is my company’s personality and the experience my clients have when they’re at GVO GLO Aesthetics. Providing exceptional customer service while building trusting, personal relationships with my clients is what helps set the standard of what to expect when coming to my practice. The experience is cool; enjoy your treatment, pick the music you want to relax to and bask in the good vibes of GVO GLO Aesthetics.

What am I most excited or proud of:
* I am most excited about growing my company and new treatments/services/devices I’ll be adding to my menu!

Was it easy:
* No it wasn’t easy, but through Jesus, the support of my parents and the perseverance within myself, made it all possible.

Lessons I’ve learned along the way:
* Never give up. Keep going. Stay positive. Keep learning. Do everything with love.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Some of my favorite spots to hang out in south Florida are West Palm Beach & of course Miami! Downtown west palm has many different places to eat and hang out. My favorite spot in Downtown West Palm Beach is called Banko Cantina. It’s a delicious Mexican restaurant that turns into a party on the weekends on the 3rd floor! So fun! Also, Skyviews Miami Observation Wheel is awesome. It’s located in downtown Miami in the heart of Bayside. On it, you’ll see views of Biscayne Bay & the downtown Miami skyline from an A/C glass gondola! Don’t forget to hit up fat tuesdays while you’re there too ◡̈

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I dedicate my shoutout to Jesus & to my parents. They’ve never let me down and have been by my side through it all. I wouldn’t have anything or be who I am without them.
