032: Skincare Myths, Med Spa Red Flags, and Building a Real Routine with Viridian Spa’s Stephanie Lopez

This episode is equal parts tea spill and skin school. Jillian sits down with her dear friend and favorite esthetician, Stephanie Lopez, owner of Viridian Spa in Katy, Texas. Their convo dives into the real stuff no one talks about in the aesthetics world—the sales pressure, the unsafe treatments, the doctors who don’t read intake forms, and why honest skin care takes more than a magic product or quick fix.Between the laughs, detective jokes, and monocle chaos, Stephanie opens up about her years inside day spas, wax studios, and med spas, and why she finally broke away to create a space rooted in integrity, education, and actual client care. She gets real about the difference between American and Korean skincare philosophies, why skin health starts deeper than the surface, and how consumerism traps so many people in routines that don’t make sense.💫 what you’ll hear in this episodewhy stephanie left the med-spa worldthe wildest things she saw from doctorswhy consumer skincare feels chaoticthe real way to build a routinehow lifestyle impacts every skin concernwhy korean skincare hits differentteen boy skin, sports, and chaoshow to find a pro you can trustthe honest truth about botox, peels, and quick fixesIf you’ve ever wondered who to trust with your skin—or why the industry feels so confusing—this one gives you clarity, humor, and the truth straight up.Where are you trying to find a quick fix in your life when what you really need is consistency, honesty, and support?Connect with StephanieInstagramBook a facial with Stephanie at Viridian SpaConnect with JillianInstagramExpand the Conversation InstagramE-mailYoutube
