Sara McTaggart – Beechwood Beauty Co.

Sara is the face behind Beechwood Beauty Co.

A year ago, after numerous lockdowns and too much spare time, Sara started daydreaming about where she wanted to take her career as an esthetician. Shortly after, she was on her daily walk down Main St. in Port Stanley and came across a “For Lease” sign in the window in one of her favourite buildings – The Harbour House. Being born and raised in Port Stanley she had admired this building and location her entire life. She had been in contact with her business advisor, Elle, and asked if it would be crazy to sign a lease in the midst of a lockdown with no plans in place, and she strongly advised me against it. Sara says “This was the only time I didn’t respect her expertise and signed the lease anyway”.

Almost a year later after lockdowns, renovations, and a rather serious water sports injury, Sara is a solo-esthetician running her own business specializing in facials, skincare, facial waxing, and lashes. Sara is truly grateful to be able to spend her days with incredible clients, helping them look and feel their best. She take pride in providing them with high-quality products along with 5 years of experience specializing in facial services. Nothing makes her happier than building strong, long-term relationships with her clients.

With the assistance of SBEC’s expertise, Sara has been able to reach goals she didn’t know were attainable and gain confidence in her business. She has been provided with countless resources, financial assistance, and even emotional support.

Sara says. “Words cannot express my gratitude for this incredible program and I can’t wait to run a successful business for many years to come.”
