Meet Josie Rushing of Brazilicious and Brazilian Beauty Formula

Today we’d like to introduce you to Josie Rushing.

Hi Josie, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I’m Brazilian and moved to Texas about five years ago with my gringo husband. At first, we were only on our honeymoon, and after visiting his mom in Austin we fell in love with the city and decided to stay. I decided that I didn’t want to work with beauty here anymore because my clients at the time were all Brazilians and I needed to work on my very limited English.

So I applied to work at Facebook. It was a lot of learning in 18 months of working there until I was brave enough to leave my 9-5 job and work only with beauty. Everything started in my spare room, then I moved into a bigger house and turned the downstairs into my beauty spa, and then, I finally moved to where Brazilicious is located now with six rooms.

With much fear, I started to hire professionals to work for me and I remember how difficult it was to find customers and how many ?NO?s? that I got. Slowly, my business started to grow and I am very happy to announce that we are now opening four more locations within the next six months.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you?ve faced along the way?
Not all. I always say that as an Immigrant and totally outside the ?standards? I have to work 10x more for the same goal as a ?regular? American citizen.

We’ve been impressed with Brazilicious and Brazilian Beauty Formula, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Brazilicious is a Brazilian Beauty Spa specialized in my own technique, the Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage Massage by Josie Rushing. This modality of massage is an exclusive method that instantaneously sculpts the client?s body within one session + helps detoxify inside out by helping the immune system.

We also have the Brazilian Beauty Formula project that teaches my technique to professionals all over the world. We are now in seven different countries with certified professionals in the Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage by Josie Rushing.

Have you learned any interesting or important lessons due to the Covid-19 Crisis?
Empathy.
