Today we’d like to introduce you to Rousanna Gevondian.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Rousanna. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
Master facialist and skin care expert, Violet Mkhitaryan, is world-renowned for her groundbreaking Skin Care regimens and all natural product creations. Violet’s highly sought after hand-made products are inspired by her childhood in Armenia where as a young girl she created her own skin care with all natural ingredients she found in her families refrigerator. She learned that fresh properties from foods, oils and herbs were actually alive and more effective in improving her skin’s appearance. Her holistic approach to well-being comes from the Armenian culture where facials are a necessity rather than a luxury.
While in school, Violet earned an advanced degree in biochemistry and soon became Armenia’s leading educator in the field of aesthetics and beauty. In addition to her degree, she holds an International Diploma in Cosmetology and Aesthetics. Violet has 35 years of experience owning and operating spas in Armenia, Moscow, and USA.
In 1992, Violet moved her family to the US to pursue her dreams of launching her own business. After attracting a devoted client base, she opened Violet Skin Boutique on Boston’s upscale Newbury Street, where she uses her old world Eastern European recipes to create her luxurious handmade signature organic masks, moisturizers and cleansers which serve a variety of skin conditions. Violet spa’s best-sellers include the Violet yolk mask (known as the instant skin lift), the chocolate mask (one of Violet’s first formulations), and dry masks like the flax seed or fenugreek (essential in treating rosacea and acne).
The spa earned Boston Magazine’s prestigious “Best Facial” award and national recognition in publications, such as Everyday with Rachael Ray and InStyle.
As Violet’s family has expanded, so has her brand, which now includes a collection of baby products, men’s and women’s cream cleansers, and more, designed for individual skin types and specific needs, like rosacea, acne and eczema, filling a niche in the market for freshly formulated, organic all natural, chemical free skin care. Violet and her twin daughter’s skin prove that Violet’s products skin care holds the secret to youth and radiance at any age.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
We are very passionate about Violet brand and what we do, so it never seems like “work”
Please tell us about Violet Skin Boutique.
FRESH = RESULTS
Active ingredients in many products that promise results simple will not deliver because their beneficial properties have a shelf life of only a few month.
Product freshness is our mission at Violet, and distinct benefits to our clients are RESULTS of our PURE, SIMPLE, ORGANIC formulas that deliver them
Do you look back particularly fondly on any memories from childhood?
