BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT

SPONSORED CONTENT

For over a decade , Amber Shal has been helping people look and feel their best . She began her career working for a world‐renowned destination spa , the Waters Spa , in Kohler , Wisconsin , followed by another luxurious destination spa in Waikiki , Hawaii . After a few years in the spa world , she decided to take her career down a more medical path . She began working in a dermatologist ’ s office where she gained a wealth of knowledge on skin care and conditions , however it didn ’ t take long for her to realize that the best results she saw in her clients came from products that doctors weren ’ t using .

“ The medicinal products that I used back then weren ’ t working for people ; they were often causing inflammation and irritation ,” she said . “ I found that people were getting
much better results by using organic products , so I went in the direction that helped my clients the most and have been using Eminence Organic Skin Care treatments exclusively for the past five years .”
Most of that time was spent as Spa Director of the Raw Spa . Shal eventually bought the spa , after the passing of one of the original owners , changed the name to Sugar Spa and Beauty Bar , and continued on her quest to help as many people as she can get the aesthetic results they ’ re looking for .
“ People need results , but no one likes going to the doctor . We deliver results in a spa atmosphere , a more relaxing environment , where people enjoy the process of taking care of themselves ,” Shal said . “ I don ’ t want people to feel like this is another appointment to take up their time .
I want them to look forward to coming here and relaxing . We live in a society where we are constantly on the go , and taking care of ourselves often falls on the back burner . It ’ s time that we stop and enjoy some of the good things in life ; otherwise , what ’ s the point ?”
