Why Kiyo?

It is well known in Nanaimo that Kiyomi is an excellent business owner. She’s big on continued education and runs a tight ship and I’m proud to be apart of her team!!

Why did you choose this industry?

My mom as a stylist for a short time back in the day and my auntie was an Aesthetician for a long time so I was influenced by them. It says in my grade 7 year book that I wanted to be an Aesthetician and I’m not sure I even really knew what it entailed.

What are your major accomplishments in life and business?

I don’t feel I’ve done anything spectacular but I’m proud to be living a life I love. I’m happy to have found a profession I’m passionate about.

Training/Classes:

Tru Spa, Lots of Dermalogica classes, Glo and Phytomer, HydraFacial MD, Dermaplaning, Cutera Laser (veins, skin, and hair removal)

What are your favourite activities/hobbies?

Lifting weights, anything outdoors, watching movies and shows on the couch in my pjs, board games and puzzles.

What would be impossible for you to give up?

Working in a job where I’m not stuck at a desk all day. Some form of physical activity everyday. Living near the ocean.
