eleMINT Skin
Support your favorite facial studio to continue growing and glowing in East Austin!
Project Description
eleMINT Skin is a bespoke botanical facial studio that amplifies skincare as a vehicle for healing mental and emotional wellbeing. We offer plant based facials, clean beauty retail, and intimate communal gatherings centering optimal wellbeing - ultimately equipping our customers with supportive tools and experiences to build their confidence and enjoyment of life, from the inside, out!
Our mission is to elevate skin health and wellbeing through a holistic, transformative skincare experience that is inclusive, accessible and affordable.
Our journey began in 2019, when we opened eleMINT in vibrant East Austin, Texas just ahead of a global pandemic, civil unrest, and social uprising - with YOUR support! Our initial crowdfunding campaign carried us through start up costs, site renovations, inventory & equipment, hiring, and early marketing. An exciting inception, that has grown through resilience and hope, because of YOU!
Our season…. Like a delicate plant, every business goes through seasons. Lately, we're ebbing and flowing through ongoing pandemic effects, economic shifts, operational challenges and overall fragility of being a Black woman owned business in East Austin.
Our ask… We’re currently in need of a little extra sunshine and water to help us grow and we’re seeking $12,500 to support our operations and elevate our facial experience to continue bringing you the bespoke botanical skincare treatments you love.
Specifically, we will use these funds to invest in:
Professional spa software to streamline our booking, payment, payroll and inventory management systems (...both myself and the team are thrilled to finally have ONE platform for all of these… it’s been quiet chaos managing multiple systems!)
Advanced education for our esthetician team (... the team is craving buccal massage and advanced skincare certifications to elevate your facial experience!)
Content marketing and ad campaigns (...it time to level up socially simply because the algo doesn’t show us love these days).
A little maintenance/aesthetic update to the studio (...we’ve been busy giving you all your glow ups and we’re overdue for a little facelift of our own.)
Despite small business challenges, we're honored to still be here as a sanctuary for self-care and community. While eleMINT is no easy feat alone, we know that your support will help us continue our mission.
With deep, deep gratitude, THANK YOU!
