Celestial Beauty Bar

After four years of growth, love, and pouring my whole heart into this space, I’ve made the decision to close my business and hang up the tweezers and spray tan gun.

This isn’t a choice that came from burnout, failure, or a lack of belief. Anyone that knows me knows I will continue to push until I have nothing left in the tank. If anything, I was finally hitting my stride. I was confident, consistent, proud of what I had built and where it was going. And closing something at the exact moment it starts to feel aligned, sustainable, and right is a complete mind f**k I wouldn’t wish on anyone. It’s something I still haven’t been able to fully process.

Loving and moving through life with a parent who has been diagnosed with an aggressive cancer changes everything. It reshapes your priorities, your nervous system, your sense of time and safety. Suddenly, every plan, every ounce of energy, every piece of yourself feels tied back to one person you love more than anything. The one person you wish you could just swap places with and fight for them. But one thing I have learned through all of this is that there simply isn’t room to carry it all.

I soft-launched this closure months ago, but in many ways it never felt real. Keeping my things at my studio felt like leaving a door cracked open, like I could step back into this version of my life when things felt steadier. Now that I’ve officially moved out, the finality has set in, and I’m heartbroken. And I don’t want to pretend I’m not. It feels like a piece of me is missing.

To my clients who have turned into some of my closest friends, my community, and every person who trusted me with their taces, their confidence, and their time; thank you. This was never just a business. It was connection, creativity, care, and purpose. I will carry that with me forever.

I know this is something I was meant to do, and l somehow still believe this isn’t the end. But everything leads back to my dad, and what an honor that is to have a bond so close to my father.

This season is one of choosing presence over productivity, love over momentum, and family over everything else.
Even when it costs something worked so hard to build.
Thank you for the grace, the patience, and the overwhelming support. I'm grieving, I'm grateful, and I'm taking this one day at a time.

To Awaken Aura and GLDN GLOW
The women you are, the love you lead with, and the way you showed up for me in my hardest season will stay with me forever. You met me with quiet strength, patience, and a selfless kind of support I can never fully repay. You carried weight that wasn't yours, held space when I could barely hold myself together, and gave me steadiness when I had none. You know what you gave me during this time, and I will carry it with me for the rest of my life. I will never forget it, never take advantage of it, and never take our bond or sisterhood for granted. I am endlessly grateful for you, and I love you both more than words can say.

Thank you all for allowing me the space to try to find some form of healing through all of this.

Over the last 4 years at Celestial Beauty Bar (or the original Bek’s Boutique), many of you have become more than clients; you've become friends, confidants, and a truly meaningful part of my life. We've shared laughter, conversations, and so many special moments together, each one a piece of my heart.

Life has recently taken an unexpected turn for my family, and it has required me to shift my focus and priorities in ways I never could have imagined. Because of this, beginning September 1st, I will no longer be taking appointments and will be closing my doors. This is not a decision I've made lightly, and it's one I share with a very heavy heart. But life is so short and precious, and time is something we can’t get back.

It’s unclear as to when I will reopen, so I want to ensure you're still taken care of. I have a few trusted friends and talented artists I can refer you to for your fills or other services, should you wish to continue your beauty routine in the meantime. Please reach out if you'd like their information or I can provide those recommendations at your next scheduled appointment; I know they'll take wonderful care of you.

I cannot thank you enough for the love, support, and loyalty you've shown me. This little beauty family we've built together will always hold a special place in my heart. What started as a hopeful dream very quickly became a beautiful and magical reality. And I do hope that in time, I'll be able to welcome you all back.

Until then, please know how much you all mean to me. Reggie and I love you all so much.

-Bek, Reg & the entire Donovan Family & Ritual Haus Community

Second photo accurately reflects my face after realizing my last post was July of 2024… I’m literally just a girl 🤭

But for real - I’m still here! June 13th marked 4 years of business for me, and I’m so sad to think that I didn’t even get a chance to sit and process how incredible that milestone is as well as celebrate the business that has brought me so much joy and beautiful friendships.

I feel so grateful for the growth Celestial has had over these last four years. My business is one where I am so aware just how unconventional it may be; four years later I still work my fulltime 8-4 corporate job. I’m still clocking the 12 hour days. I’m still wanting to learn and grow and do better and be better. What started as a dream has since flourished and although exhausting and challenging it is, I wouldn’t have it any other way.

The end goal isn’t to, and never was, to continue working two fulltime jobs. Life sometimes has this annoying way of getting you where you need to be, when you need to be there. Not when you want do be there. I’ve had an internal pressure to hit certain milestones by certain dates and I’ve realized that through that I lost sight of the bigger picture.

I have time.
I have incredible clients who I truly consider my girlfriends.
I have an amazing support system.
I have Awaken Aura & GLDN GLOW and our beautiful shared Ritual Haus studio I get to call my home away from home.
I’ve had the ability to work hand in hand with Lydia and be apart of her incredible spray tanning business.
I get to make my friends feel good about themselves and hold space for whatever they need at their appointments.
Reggie gets to be apart of the journey with me as well and provide all the cuddles and love.

But more importantly I get to honor myself and know that success is not linear, and I’m not afraid of hard work.

All this to say…
Happy (late) 4 years Celestial.
And more importantly thank you to my beautiful friends that trust me and continue to grow with me. Your support does not, and never will, go unnoticed.
This is so much more than just a business to me 🤍

Now come see Reggie and I and let me do your lashes 💅🏼🤭

This will be hanging in my studio forever 🥹🤍

Receiving this thank you card from one of the sweetest spray tan clients couldn’t have come at a more perfect time. As many of you know I still work a fulltime job, so it can be very challenging to balance all of life’s responsibilities and demands at times. So receiving client reviews/positive feedback or any feedback in general holds immense value and carries so much meaning to me. It truly inspires me to keep improving and working hard, especially in the moments of overwhelm and exhaustion.

I deeply appreciate each and every client of mine who has trusted me with their time and energy these past few years. Allowing me to be apart of your beauty routine and seeing your smiling faces every few weeks makes my heart so full 🫶🏼🤍
