So, how does Brian approach each consultation and address every customer’s unique needs? First, he asks them questions about their daily life and habits. Then he starts with skin care — his favorite beauty topic of all. He continues adding carefully selected products until each customer’s needs have been met. “Personal care is important anywhere we are in our lives,
