In this powerful episode of Tippy Talks, host Ashley sits down with the inspiring Candice Johnson licensed esthetician, entrepreneur, and founder of Candee Skin to explore her journey from solo service provider to purpose-driven CEO.
With over 16 years in the beauty industry and now leading a team of 20+ employees, Candice shares how she built a thriving business, retired at 36, and is laying the groundwork to franchise her skincare brand.
Originally from Dallas, Candice became a Licensed Esthetician in Atlanta in 2009 and spent years sharpening her skills across marketing, corporate training, and management roles. By 2016, she returned to her hometown and launched Candee Skin. Within just six months, explosive client demand pushed her to expand transforming her solo venture into Desoto, Texas's leading waxing and skincare center.
Since stepping into her full-time leadership role as COO in 2021, Candice has led Candee Skin to surpass $1 million in sales while staying true to her mission: to elevate skincare experiences and empower her team.
In this episode, Candice dives deep into her leadership philosophy, the mindset shift it took to step away from the treatment room, and how partnering with Tippy has helped her team not only earn more but save, plan, and build financial confidence.
