STOUGHTON - Beauty by Jo is a new business located in the heart of Stoughton on Main Street.
Jovanna Picciotti is the excited owner of this establishment, as she has done a great deal of work in the building.
When one enters the newly renovated facility, you feel welcome with a warm and cozy appeal. Exactly what Picciotti had hoped for. She wanted a place for her clients to relax and enjoy the pampering.
Picciotti is a licensed nail technician who is also qualitied in manicures and pedicures. It has been her profession for over five years.
She was born and raised in Peru. From there she traveled to Italy, were she received her licence to be an esthetician. Her two sisters are also in the same field of work. It was then she fell in love with beauty and wellness.
She has traveled to various places in the world and came to Ireland where she met Chris Griffon, who is now her fiancé and was working in Dublin at the time. In 2018 she came to reside in Stoughton. She enjoys the feeling of a small town.
It is Picciotti’s dream to open a studio that offered beauty and wellness in one place. The renovations included multiple rooms for privacy and confidentiality.
Picciotti was highly trained in Europe and Canada, then continued to do courses to upgrade her knowledge in her area of training.
She will be offering gel nail extensions, sculpted gel and AcryGel services. Nail art is also one of her specialties and of course there are soothing manicures and pedicures. There is a comfortable pedicure lodge chair, along with a copper basin.
Ira Elizabeth Noyes from Liaison Lab Inc. designed the inside spaces, making an inviting area for clients with soft colours and fresh greenery.
It is Picciotti’s hope to have group packages for special occasions, such as weddings, bachelorettes or just a group of friends looking for time away.
At present the studio is interviewing tenants to join Beauty by Jo. It is her goal to have tanning, waxing, massage therapy and makeup services. A one-stop place to receive pampering.
Picciotti said, “I will only offer high-end services and products but keeping my prices in line with others.”
She wishes to collaborate with the community and offer something a little different. She feels supporting each other in a small community is important.
The future hopes to bring an online product line as well.
Picciotti decided to postpone the grand opening due to the spring snowstorm. She rescheduled it for May 14, running from 3-8 p.m. If you wish to attend, please let her know in advance by calling 306-531-8327. You can also book your appointments via Facebook and Instagram.
