Purple Lotus KC

15 years of OVERRUN Ovarian Cancer 5k! This is my 8th year being involved with this amazing organization. My mom and I found out about it after her diagnosis in 2018 and did our first walk in 2019. After that first year I became an ambassador and volunteer and the last two years we have set up a table. I absolutely love being involved with this organization and everything they do to raise awareness about Ovarian Cancer.

A new booking experience is here at Purple Lotus KC. We are officiallylive with GlossGenius.

You can book with Purple Lotus KC by going to our website

GOOD MORNING FRIENDS!!!
📣Big announcement 📣

We’ve officially moved to and are live with a new booking system!

After a lot of thought (and a LOT of behind-the-scenes work 😅), Purple Lotus KC has officially made the move from Vagaro to GlossGenius!

Our new booking site is:

✨ purplelotuskc.glossgenius.com

So what does this mean for you?

First and most importantly — if you already have an appointment scheduled, you DO NOT need to rebook! 💜

All existing appointments have been transferred into our new system. Moving forward, your appointment confirmations and reminders will simply come from GlossGenius instead of Vagaro.

One change we think you’re really going to appreciate:

You no longer need to create or log into a user account just to book an appointment! 🙌

For those of you who have been with us for a while, I think you’ll find the new booking experience much simpler and more user-friendly.

Now for the slightly inconvenient part…

With the move to a new database, Shae and I had to decide what we wanted to do with intake forms and liability paperwork going forward.

And we’ve decided we’re going back to good old-fashioned paper. 😂

Partly because if we ever change booking systems again, we NEVER want to make everyone start over with their paperwork again!

But we also like the simplicity of having an ongoing physical client file. At future visits, we can pull your previous paperwork, review it with you, ask if anything has changed, and update your existing information as needed rather than having you repeatedly complete an entirely new digital form.

So at your next appointment, we will need you to complete new paperwork — even if you just recently did it through Vagaro. We are so sorry! 🤦‍♀️

Please plan to arrive a few minutes early for your next visit so you’ll have time to complete everything and we can still begin your service on time.

We’ll still use digital communication when it’s helpful, especially for important pre-appointment reminders and instructions for certain services. We’re just separating those reminders from your ongoing intake paperwork.

And finally, please have a little patience with us as we settle into GlossGenius. We’ve worked hard to transfer everything over correctly, but with a change this big, there’s always a chance we’ve missed a detail somewhere.

If something doesn’t look right or you have trouble with anything, please reach out and let us know!

We’re excited about this change and really believe it’s going to make booking with Purple Lotus KC easier. 💜

Here’s to making your experience with us better — even before you walk through the door. 🪷

Everything will be back online and ready for booking on Tuesday (hopefully)!

Please watch your email and text messages this weekend for a separate announcement containing important information and updated instructions for booking future appointments.

✨ NEW AT PURPLE LOTUS KC! ✨

Clean Skin Club favorites are now available right here at the spa!

💜 Clean Towels — a fresh, disposable towel for drying your face without the bacteria, detergent residue, and buildup that can linger on traditional washcloths.

💜 Clean² Face Pads — soft, extra-large pads perfect for cleansing, removing makeup, applying toner, and more.

💜 Derma Dot Pimple Patches — discreet hydrocolloid patches that help protect blemishes and discourage picking while they work day or night.

Yes, you may be able to find some Clean Skin Club products at larger retailers—but purchasing them from Purple Lotus KC means you’re supporting a locally owned small business while picking up products selected by your esthetician. It’s an easy way to keep your skincare routine stocked while helping a small business continue serving our community. 💜

💜 ONCOLOGY ESTHETICS TRAINING IS COMING TO KANSAS CITY 💜

On October 4, 2026, I will be hosting an Oncology Spa Solutions® hands-on clinic at Purple Lotus KC Wellness Spa!

This clinic is the in-person, practical component of the Life-Changing Esthetics™ Oncology Specialist Program. Participants will complete the program’s online theory coursework and then join me for a full day of hands-on learning, where we will put that knowledge into practice.

Cancer treatment can affect the skin, hair, nails, lymphatic system, and overall well-being in ways many beauty and wellness professionals are never taught to recognize. This specialized training helps professionals understand contraindications, appropriate treatment modifications, oncology-safe products and ingredients, and how to provide compassionate care with greater confidence.

During the hands-on clinic, we will focus on translating the online education into real-world client care through consultation skills, treatment modifications, product considerations, and safe, supportive touch.

📅 Hands-On Clinic: October 4, 2026
📍 Purple Lotus KC Wellness Spa
Kansas City, Missouri – Northland
💻 Online theory coursework is completed prior to the hands-on as part of the full program
🎓 Nationally recognized Oncology Spa Solutions® education

Use my faculty discount code NIKKI10 when registering.

This education changed the direction of my own career and deepened the purpose behind Purple Lotus KC. I am incredibly honored to bring this training to Kansas City as part of the Oncology Spa Solutions® team and help more professionals become prepared to safely and compassionately serve people affected by cancer.

Space for the hands-on clinic is limited. If you have questions about the course or whether it is right for you, please reach out to me directly.

Together, we can help ensure that no client is turned away simply because a professional was never taught how to safely care for them. 💜

🌿 Monday Musings

Good morning, friends. 💜

Last Monday I asked you to dream with me a little and tell me what services or experiences you’d love to see added to Purple Lotus KC.

This morning, I’ve been thinking about that conversation from a different direction.

So I have another question for you—and before anyone reads too much into it, no, this is not an announcement that Purple Lotus KC is going anywhere…. Promise!

But I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what truly makes a business meaningful to the people it serves.

So imagine for just a moment that tomorrow, Purple Lotus KC wasn’t here anymore…

What would you genuinely miss the most?

Would it be a particular service?

The peaceful atmosphere?

Having somewhere you can shut out the rest of the world for an hour?

The conversations?

Feeling listened to and cared for?

The way you feel when you walk through our doors—or maybe the way you feel when you leave?

Or is it something I haven’t even thought of?

I could turn this into a poll and give you choices, but I don’t want to influence your answer.

Because I’m not really asking what I think makes Purple Lotus KC special.

I want to know what YOU believe makes it worth choosing.

So for this weeks Monday Musing I want to know……

💜 If Purple Lotus KC disappeared tomorrow, what is the ONE thing you would miss most?

Don’t overthink it. Whatever came to mind first…I want to hear it.

I’m listening. 🪷

🌿 Monday Musings

We’ve been doing a little dreaming about the future of Purple Lotus KC and today, we want YOU to dream with us. 💜

If you could add ONE experience to the Purple Lotus KC menu, what would it be?

We are not giving you choices on purpose because we don’t want to influence your answer!

And let’s put one little disclaimer out there before someone asks for Botox/fillers. We’re keeping our wish list within the services that can be provided within our professional scope of practice—so no injectables, lasers, or other medical services.

Other than that…

Dream a little with me.

👇 If you could add ONE new service, treatment, enhancement, or experience at Purple Lotus KC, what would you love to see?

Current clients, past clients, future clients, and those of you who simply follow along—I want to hear from all of you.

Who knows? You might just inspire something that eventually finds its way onto our menu. 🪷💜

🌿 Self-Care Saturday 🌿

Good morning, friends! 💕 Shae here—As I sit here enjoying my morning coffee, apparently my brain has decided to get a little philosophical and I wanted to share …

So what exactly is the difference between nostalgia and homesickness?

They’re different…but somehow beautifully intertwined.

Nostalgia is missing a memory.

Homesickness is missing a feeling.

Nostalgia takes us back to a moment in time, while homesickness longs for everything that made that moment feel like home—the comfort, the emotions, the familiar smells and sounds, the people, and that unmistakable sense of belonging.

And then I had this thought…

While we’re busy longing for moments from our past, we’re living the moments our future selves will one day miss. 💜

Maybe that’s a form of self-care we don’t talk about enough:

Being present enough to actually experience our lives while we’re living them.

And maybe on International Relaxation Day, that’s worth remembering.

Relaxation doesn’t always have to mean doing nothing. Sometimes it’s simply slowing down enough to notice the life happening around us.

Soak in the laughter.

Notice the warmth of the sun.

Breathe in your favorite familiar smell.

Listen to the voices of the people you love.

Put the phone down for a minute.

Stay a little longer.

Because someday, something completely ordinary about today may become the memory you’d give anything to experience one more time.

So today…relax, be present, soak it in, and be here for it. 💕

Carpe Diem.

🧘‍♀️ Wellness Wednesday 🧘‍♀️

Growing up in Unity, there was a phrase I heard often:

“Thoughts held in mind produce after their kind.”

It’s something that has stayed with me throughout my life.

To me, it means that what we repeatedly focus on has power.

If our inner dialogue is constantly…

I’m exhausted.
Nothing ever works out for me.
I can’t do this.
I’m broke.
Everything is going wrong.

…those thoughts can begin to shape the lens through which we experience our lives.

That doesn’t mean positive thinking magically makes difficult circumstances disappear. Life happens. Illness happens. Loss, stress, disappointment, and things completely outside our control happen.

But we do have some influence over the conversation happening inside our own minds.

Instead of “I can’t handle this,” maybe it’s “I’ll take this one step at a time.”

Instead of “Everything is going wrong,” maybe we pause long enough to notice one thing that’s going right.

Instead of constantly telling ourselves we’re failing, maybe we acknowledge how much we’re actually carrying and give ourselves grace.

Our thoughts influence our emotions, our stress, the things we notice, and often the choices we make next.

And no, I’m certainly not positive every moment of every day. 😂

But I do believe there’s tremendous power in becoming aware of what we’re repeatedly telling ourselves.

🌿 So here’s your Wellness Wednesday check-in:

What thought have you been carrying lately?

And is it helping you…or is it one you’re ready to replace?

Maybe today, find one good thing and give it a little more of your attention. 💜
