From the owner…
Ever wonder how certain things come to be? Do things mean more when you know the story behind the story? In a world consumed with connectivity, stories are actually somewhat hard to avoid these days. So, we thought we’d take the opportunity to tell ours.
It all started with a passion and a purpose resulting from my own personal struggles with a chronic inflammatory skin condition. After many failed attempts following the traditionally prescribed approach, I realized I wasn’t ever going to achieve what I was seeking, a healthy and balanced complexion. It reminded me of that age-old saying that the “definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” That’s just the realization I came to! Nothing could ever change unless I did things differently. And my very first step…finding the underlying cause of the symptoms I was experiencing.
After many years in Corporate America, I did just that. I left my job, returned to school to pursue a degree in esthiology, and figure out my skin oh I did. During that process, I realized just how important it is to take care of your skin from the inside out. You see, my problem actually started not just with what I was putting on my skin, but with what I was putting in my body too. Many, many months of working to figure out the right combination of skin-friendly foods for my complexion helped me arrive at a maintenance plan for the long-term. And out of it all, Green City was founded on the principles of delivering natural solutions to common skin-care problems and hair removal.
With the motto, “Rejuvenate Within, Redefine Your Skin,” we emphasize the importance of skin health maintenance at a cellular level, starting with our diets and extending to the products we use topically. The skin is the body’s largest organ and its main function is protection. It, therefore, serves as our number one defense against just about everything. Using the most expensive cleansers, moisturizers, magic serums, lotions, potions and the like won’t do much to change the state of your skin if it’s unhealthy on the inside. This theme helped shape a salon and spa menu offering the perfect combination of professional and natural skin care options, including Sugaring Hair Removal. As the only salon offering Sugaring Hair Removal in Philadelphia, we aim to deliver a more natural alternative to waxing. Combining this ancient technique with a mission to encourage beautifully balanced, healthy skin from the inside out, Green City is the area’s number one solution to natural, gentle hair removal and skin conditioning. How Sweet!
