We had the good fortune of connecting with Estefana Thiewes and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Estefana, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
My thought process when I started my business was focusing on the desire to educate and serve my community with skincare concerns and body care needs. I always have felt that I have a servant’s heart, this led me to serve in the armed forces. I am an Army Veteran, I was medically retired after 12 years of honorable service. Thinking how can I still serve my community, I dove into the desire to learn everything Esthetics and Massage Therapy. I started working at a few different spas. That still left me wanting to do more, find my true purpose and develop my passion. I couldn’t give my best if I was worn down and working for someone else. Once I conquered my doubts, I did my research and developed my plan, I identified what I wanted my business to be and represent. This gave me the opportunity to start on my own and Stef of Beauty was born.

What should our readers know about your business?
Stef of Beauty was created to be your one stop shop for everything skincare and body care. Services offered are custom facials, advanced facial services, body treatments, massages, waxing and other services. One thing that sets me apart from others is my body treatments. I offer services in areas of the body that people tend to shy away from, such as vajacials (facial treatment for your lady parts) and booty facials. Yes, other body parts can get pampered too! I have performed facial treatments all over the body and encourage my clients to not only take care of their facial area but their body as well.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I LOVE food! I am a self proclaimed foodie. One of my favorite places to eat is Katy Vibes, they have great food and have different nightlife events on some nights as well as karaoke. Some of my other favorite spots are Krazy Katsu & Udon, which has the best Udon, U’Maki Sushi Burrito in Katy, if you have never had a Sushi Burrito you are missing out! The Toasted Yolk Fulshear has great food and the best mimosas! There are so many places to visit for entertainment as well. I love Canytopia which is family friendly. Take a day trip to the museum district, there are so many museums to choose from. The Houston Zoo is a great place to hang out. Night life my favorite and my go too is Whiskey River West in Richmond. There is never a boring day because there’s just so much to do and places to see.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My family-my husband Leo and daughters Lidya and Mia. They are my #1 fans, my support, motivation, and encouragement. Thank you for helping me find the courage to follow my dreams. Thank you for putting up with my crazy on the whim ideas, letting me vent and working with me to bring my passion to life. I love you
