Ginger Roots Skin Bar

Hello Helloooo my friends 👋🏻

Life’s been crazy and so much change is on the horizon. I wanted to pop on the feed with some updates! It seems like a soft place to land that you can look back on, compared to stories that are fleeting.

~ We’re moving! Yes, again! Starting December I’ll be in Ludlow. My OG stomping grounds! Saying goodbye to Chicopee is bittersweet, Ally’s been so generous sharing her beautiful suite with me for the last year and a half 🫂

~ For the month of November I’ll be stepping away from taking clients to get the new suite rockin & rollin’

~ As soon as my schedules open for booking (December & January) I’ll be texting you! Current books are open for my regulars as my availability is limited in this season of motherhood… thank you for all the love, understanding and grace in this tender season of life 🙂‍↔️

~ I do accept new clients when the schedule can accommodate! You can message me to be added to my waitlist 🧡

~ Starting Jan 1st you’ll see a slight increase in my facial pricing. Thank you for always honoring my craft and seeing the value in my offerings. It means so much to me that you fit me into your budgets! I don’t take that forgranted. 🫶🏻

~ Over the next few months I’ll be expanding my facial menu and I’m geeking out over it!! Think all the TLC. Us women need and deserve it xo

~ We’re officially retiring eyebrow / facial waxes services over here. Waxes have been slowing down and I’ve focused on facials for the last several years. At this point, I might do one or two eyebrow waxes a month. It’s time to move on and pass the torch to other amazing local brow artists!

~ No, Cory and I haven’t set a wedding date yet 😆 life’s been so busy!!

~ Artie is almost 11 months old. Insane??? Almost a year?! My baby boy pride & joy

Thank you x a million for giving me passion and purpose outside of motherhood. Being Arthur’s mama has been so fulfilling, but I know it’s crucial to find identity outside of motherhood too. Being your esthetician brings me so much joy and I truly love seeing you, spending time with you and giving you all the hands on healing. Sending you the biiiiigest, warmest hugs 🥰

Cha cha for now!
Jill

A little over a year ago, I closed my storefront and moved into Body By Ally space! It has been such a whirlwind this past year!!

Heading into 2025, I started having open and honest conversations with you guys about the space I was in.
Was it the right fit? Was it too far out of the way?

By March 2025, I made the decision to *not renew my lease* in Southwick. Honestly, I was feeling a bit lost and overwhelmed after moving so many times over the years. Burnt out from opening new locations and them not working out.

April 2025 rolled around and what do you know… I found out I was pregnant! I tested positive bright and early on a Friday morning before work. My costar said “your body knows things that you don’t” and boy oh boy was it spot on that day lol

The thought of finding & opening a new location, while pregnant, was a big hell no from me. I didn’t want this tender season of my life to be overtaken by the stress.

Ally said…hey girl, just come rent from me!
Here we are a year later and she’s been such a support as I’ve stepped into motherhood. Thanks to Ally, I was able to have an easy transition from work locations during pregnancy and enjoy time with Artie when I was postpartum. She’s been a part of my village and it’s meant the world to me! 🫂

Bill Withers said it best:
Lean on me, when you’re not strong
And I’ll be your friend
I’ll help you carry on
For it won’t be long
‘Til I’m gonna need
Somebody to lean on

Ally’s also been available to pamper my clients while I was enjoying my maternity leave and continues to take good care of you guys when my schedule is packed and you’re still looking for some skincare TLC. 🧡

Everyone wants the village, but not everyone is willing to be a villager. Thank you x a million Ally for being such a guardian angel to me in this season of life. Love you lots! xo

I often stop and think, how lucky am I that we happen to be spinning on this earth at the same time and have crossed paths?! How lucky that I get to spend time with the sweetest, most intentional, funny, intelligent, gorgeous girls!!

When I count my blessings, you’re on the list. I can promise you that. 🫶🏻

Thank you for being apart of my life, through all the seasons. How fun it has been to watch each other grow! xo jill

You guys!!! Holy smokes! You’ve given me the warmest welcome back and I’m feeling the love. I’m shouting from the roof tops, THANK YOU!! 😭🫶🏻

I’ve had many DM’s, texts and calls the last two days with many of you excited to book a facial with me. I wanted to chat about what life’s looking like now that I’m back at it!

As I ease back into work I’m trying really hard to honor my boundaries and work / life balance. I truly love what I do and I adore you guys so much that I never ever want to say no. Being a new mama I’m taking savoring the moment seriously (my 2026 word of the year!!) and want you to know what I’m in the treatment room with you, I’m 100% present and happy to be there with you! To achieve that, balance and boundaries baby 👏🏻

I’m starting back with a more limited schedule and due to that, *I’m not able to take on new clients at this time*.

I deeply appreciate how many of you that have reached out with excitement to book (and I hate to say no!!!), but I can’t stretch myself too thin right now. Luckily, my suite mate Ally is accepting new clients for facials at this time! Body By Ally

I want you to know how special it is to me that you’d consider spending your hard earned money to support my small business. Especially during these times, I feel hands on healing and human connection has never been more important. Thank you for being present with me! It’s such an honor to hold space for you whether that’s during your facials or here on socials. How cool to experience a sisterhood that lights up my life even on the darker days. 🤲🏻🧡 xo jill
