Â鶹ԭ´´

Josie Correia graduated from Â鶹ԭ´´’s Aesthetics career program in the spring of 2009. When she was young she did some modeling and makeup artistry but ultimately went to school to be a paralegal which she was not passionate about it. She began to think about what made her happy and remembered enjoying the years that she was doing makeup. That passion is how she came to apply to Â鶹ԭ´´, Ipswich.

Josie said she would recommend the hands-on approach to learning she received at Â鶹ԭ´´ to a prospective student because, “I got a great education! There was a lot of material to learn and if someone needed extra help the teachers were there for assistance”. Her favorite part of the school day was when she did her clinical hours providing services to the public.

When Josie first entered the spa business after graduating she enjoyed working at Sea Grass Spa in Methuen. She recently took on a new venture and opened her own skin care spa in North Andover called Simply Skincare and Massage with partner Kendra Retalic.

When asked about the passion she has for her job her face lights up. She states, “I take really good care of you, you get more than you pay for with me.” She further adds, “If I am having a bad day, I come to work and I can make people feel good. This is the best job I ever had!”

Josie carries the product line G.M. Collin and makes custom blend mineral makeup for her clients. She says she keeps up with current trends and feels her best advice to her clients is to use eye cream and sunscreen because it is never too late to take care of your skin. She adds, “There is so much information out there. No one knows what to do when it comes to their skin. I teach my clients while I am working on them.”

Josie lives in Amesbury and has three grown children and two grandchildren. Most of her clients come from word of mouth. She is accepting new clients and can be reached at Simply Skincare & Massage at 978-655-3332.
