Fun Fact, the spa started in my one bedroom apartment in Tampa, Florida. When I graduated from beauty school in 2010, I actually turned my dining room area into my treatment room. At the time, I was working full time with Hillsborough County Clerk of the Circuit Court (where I worked as a courtroom clerk). As the business continued to blossom and flourish, it was time for me to take a leap of faith - I took a chance on myself, my passion, and my dream.

Meet Luxury Lotus Spa Owner - Esther The Esthetician Nelson
Hi there, Welcome!! It's Esther The Esthetician here.
I'm passionate about what I do as a skincare professional. I'm an island girl who can not sing or dance (I just haven't heard the right tune) lol.
I'm a middlevert (half introvert & extrovert), I am a bit awkward and nerdy at times, I'm full of positive energy.
Equally important, I love dolphins and art.
In the same way, here are some of my favorite things:
I'm naturally a good vibes only type of person. Therefore, I enjoy being around people with positive energy/attitude.
Equally, being near water is extremely relaxing & soothing for my mind, body, and spirit. For this reason, I'm a strong believer in whatever you think and/or surround yourself with, you become...
Therefore, I surround myself with things that keeps me calm and at peace.
I love being an esthetician as much as I love learning about skin care, product formulation and anything relating to beauty and business.
I've found a way to connect a few of my favourite things into one.
Therefore, I travel often to attend live classes, seminars, and trade shows. Continued education is extremely important to me.

Furthermore, I had the opportunity of working closely with, public, court reporters, clerks, judges, attorneys, police officers, sheriff deputies, and various government personnel & agencies.
In my previous role, I have created, managed, and maintained Legal records, court files, minutes, calendars, and dockets while attending court proceedings. I also tracked and maintained stats, docket records, and diary of transactions.
I developed and fostered long-lasting business relationships with government officials, other employees, and the public through excellent communication. I have experience working in Traffic, Misdemeanor, and Felony court throughout my 10 years with the company.
I enjoyed my past jobs, however, because I wanted to pursue the love and passion I have for skincare and the beauty industry, I knew it was time for me to take a leap of faith to start my business.
My past jobs and life experience has played a huge in my self awareness journey. I strive to help my clients enjoy the ride - on their journey to becoming the beset version of themselves.
My Janelle Monae, Beyonce, and Chloe and Halle summer Experience!
Undoubtedly, summer 2018 was full of surprises for me!! For instance, I went to my first-ever live concert in 2018 (at the age of 31!!). Of course, that summer, I ended up meeting and taking a picture with Janelle Monae In St. Pete, Florida (FL) - which I have hanging in the skincare boutique lobby (proudly lol).
Of course, you will definitely see it when you come in :-)

Why I started Luxury Lotus Spa
Luxury Lotus Spa started purely by accident... because of my own personal struggles dealing with acne, acne scars, post-acne scarring/brown spot, strawberry/chicken/ingrown hair...
I was a mess lol. Back then, I had low self-esteem and I was self-conscious about everything!! Equally, I did not think very highly of myself. Because of my constant worry/fear - I was the worst kind of introvert!
Fast forward to today, I love myself just the way I am. In the same way, I strive to help my clients reach their goals. I want to help my clients look and feel confident and beautiful, both inside and out. I would absolutely love the opportunity to help you reach your skincare goals in the next 6-12 months (Depending on where you are now).

My journey to becoming a beauty expert goes back to 2010 with my own personal struggle with acne, acne scars, and ingrown hair. It is through my work learning how to first improve my own skincare, and then my passion to bring this knowledge to others, that I came to truly understand this guiding principle:
Beauty is a state of mind as much as a physical way of being.
In my eyes, all of my clients are beautiful. But you may have blemishes, scars, uneven skin tone, sensitive skin or other conditions that inhibit you from looking and feeling your best. My calling truly is to help you transform your self-image from the inside out, using state-of-the-art facial, body and waxing techniques to reveal your exquisite self.
Everyone is an individual, so there's no "one size fits all."

Therefore, we take a multi-pronged approach to treat acne, acne scars, and ingrown hair using gentle chemical peels for mature skin (safe and gentle enough for darker/ethnic skin) or microdermabrasion for all skin types.
Whatever you need, I’m here for you. Make-up should be optional. You deserve to have clear, smooth, and even skin. When I perform full body spa waxing services for women and men, I make sure that my clients are comfortable and at ease with the process.
