Today we’d like to introduce you to Erica Lowrey.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
From the very beginning my passion for beauty and wellness has been rooted in one purpose: To help others embrace their individuality and inner beauty! With over 15 years of hands on experience as a Licensed Aesthetician, Esthiology Educator, Master Lash Artist~ along with specialized training in Medical Aesthetics and Holistic Practices, I’ve been blessed to spend my career creating spaces where everyone feels seen, celebrated and empowered to live authentically.
When I opened Alora Spa Aesthetic Arts and Lashes , my vision was to design more than a Beauty Business. I wanted to craft an inclusive sanctuary where people of all backgrounds feel they could receive treatments tailored to their unique needs – all with compassion and care. Every service I offer is inspired by my belief that true beauty is born from authenticity and self love.
More than anything my work is about Legacy. Alora Spa is a well crafted gift I plan to pass on to my Daughter, Atihyan. As a reminder that success is built on passion, heart and unwavering commitment to uplifting others.
My greatest joy is seeing my clients leave feeling radiant relaxed and completely themselves. That’s why I do what I do: to help people embrace their unique qualities and to create a future where wellness, creativity and humanity can truly thrive.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
One of the most meaningful challenges in my business has been balancing my commitment to truly personalized care with the natural growth of Alora Spa. Every client deserves undivided attention and customized treatments. Making sure I never compromise on that, even as demand increases, has required a lot of careful thought and adaptation.
As an Entrepreneur there are plenty of practical hurdles as well. Like keeping up with evolving industry standards and ensuring business grows sustainably.
Challenges in life are a blessing both personally and in business. I believe the challenges I’ve faced as a small business owner and a single mother have shaped me and help me stay grounded and focused on my mission. I am proud to see Alora Spa continue to grow stronger with every challenge we face.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
At Alora Spa Aesthetic Arts and Lashes, I specialize in a full range of Aesthetic Services. From custom Eyelash Extensions and Full Body Waxing , to Ayurvedic inspired Spa Facials, Dermaplaning and Body Treatments. My true focus for every client is giving them a unique experience that prioritizes maintaining the integrity of their skin and eyelash natural health. Alora Spa is proud to be a safe space for all bodies and walks life because I truly believe we all deserve to feel beautiful!
What makes my work unique is the combination of my Medical Aesthetics training, my deep understanding of diverse skin types and Holistic practices and my passion for making Extensions feel as comfortable as wearing your natural lashes.
Eyelash Extensions are not just about long beautiful Lashes, they can create the illusion of a lifted eye by subtly enhancing the natural shape and contour of the eyes. For clients with droopy lids or hooded eyes, carefully applied lashes especially those with a slight upward curl can open up the eye area and draw attention upward. It’s a non invasive, instant way to give the eyes a more awake, refreshed and youthful appearance without the need for makeup or cosmetic procedures.
The Eyelash industry continues to grow rapidly, and with that growth I’ve seen a lot of misinformation being spread about the true nature of what healthy standards are when it comes to applying and maintaining Eyelash Extensions. As a result, I am committed to continuing to educate my clients on best practices. I hope to pioneer a beauty standard in this industry that supports focusing strengthening a culture of Licensed Beauty Professionals, who specialize in the healthy application of Eyelash Extensions.
My gold standard products were carefully selected to provide the lightest , most non toxic application of Eyelash Extensions available today. All the different Lash Styles I offer are created with delicately crafted handmade volume fans. This ensures a safer and more effective way to maintain the health of my client’s natural lashes.
Every service is customized to support not just beauty goals but long term health and confidence!
More than anything I believe that beauty is personal. That sense of care and creativity is the heart of everything I do and it’s what truly sets Alora Spa apart.
Is there any advice you’d like to share with our readers who might just be starting out?
My biggest advice for future Aestheticians is to never stop learning and staying curious . Our industry is always evolving, so embrace new techniques. Invest in your education, listen carefully to your clients and other licensed professionals. Above all else let your passion for helping others shine through. People can feel when you truly care.
