Today we’d like to introduce you to Stephany Berriel.
Hi Stephany , thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
My name is Stephany Berriel. I’m 40 years old, originally from Brazil, a wife, a mom of three, and the owner and licensed esthetician behind Aguas Beauty Studio in Groveland, Florida.
For 12 years, I was a stay-at-home mom, and being a mother was one of the most meaningful roles of my life. But when my youngest started attending school full-time, I entered a season of self-discovery. I started asking myself a question that I think many women ask at some point: Who am I beyond being a mom and a wife?
That question led me to explore new possibilities, and I discovered esthetics. I fell in love with skincare, but I also realized that I loved the opportunity to help women feel confident, cared for, and more connected to themselves.
I pursued my education, became a licensed esthetician, and gained valuable experience working at a medical spa. That experience helped me grow professionally and gave me the confidence to take the next step: opening my own private studio.
Recently, I opened Aguas Beauty Studio, a dream that represents so much more than a business to me. I wanted to create a peaceful, personalized space where women could take a break from the demands of everyday life, feel seen and cared for, and recharge not only their skin but also their spirit.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Honestly, it hasn’t been a smooth road! Opening a business requires so much time, attention, and financial investment. I wanted every detail of Aguas Beauty Studio to be intentional, from the decor and atmosphere of the treatment room to the names of my services and the overall experience I wanted to create for my clients. I didn’t want to just open a studio; I wanted to build something that truly reflected my vision, and that takes time and money.
And then, once you finally open your doors, you realize that another big challenge begins: finding your clients and getting your name out there. Building trust, growing your clientele, and learning how to market yourself are all part of the process, especially when you’re starting from scratch.
I’m still learning every day, and there are definitely moments when it feels overwhelming. But I remind myself that building something meaningful takes time.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Aguas Beauty Studio?
As a solo esthetician, one of the things that makes my studio special is that there are no distractions or interruptions during our time together. When a client walks through my doors, that time is completely dedicated to her. She doesn’t have to feel rushed or share my attention with anyone else. It’s her time to relax, feel cared for, and focus on herself.
What I’m most proud of about my brand is that it reflects who I am and the experience I want to give every client. From the atmosphere of the studio to the treatments I offer, every detail is intentional. I’m building a business rooted in personalized care, connection, and the belief that taking care of yourself is not a luxury you have to earn… it’s something you deserve.
Do you have any memories from childhood that you can share with us?
Playing with my cousins in my grandma’s house 😂 we used to climb trees, make treehouses, eat the fruits right then and there and basically drive her a little crazy with all the caos!
