Meet Jade Oglesby

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Jade Oglesby a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Jade, we’re so appreciative of you taking the time to share your nuggets of wisdom with our community. One of the topics we think is most important for folks looking to level up their lives is building up their self-confidence and self-esteem. Can you share how you developed your confidence?

I love this question because I truly believe that self-confidence and self-esteem are essential for navigating life’s turbulent moments. Often, the unshakeable belief that we are enough and that we simply can is the most powerful tool in our arsenal.
My personal journey with self-confidence, like many of my life’s experiences, began with dance. I danced competitively for 14 years—a pursuit I still miss every day. Performance and competition provided me with tangible goals and the ability to measure my own growth. Each hour of practice paid off with the chance to dance at a higher level and to be part of a community of dancers who challenged and inspired me.
Many times, I was the youngest dancer in the class. Dance was not only my first love but also my first teacher—instilling in me invaluable lessons that continue to guide me today.

Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?

I am a holistic, results-driven aesthetician based in Southwest Austin, dedicated to bridging the gap between skin health and beauty. My practice is built around creating personalized treatment plans and customized facial therapies to optimize skin health while promoting deep relaxation.
I specialize in helping clients manage a range of skin concerns, including acne, uneven skin tone, dryness and dehydration, and signs of aging. My clientele spans a wide age range, from teenagers to seniors, and together we have achieved remarkable, long-lasting results through consistent care and dedication.
I firmly believe that skin health is intimately connected to mental well-being. My mission is to help each client not only improve their skin but also feel a sense of satisfaction and confidence in themselves.
Every session is an immersive experience, incorporating scalp, neck, and shoulder massage. Over the past year, I have refined a signature massage technique that enhances relaxation and complements skin treatments—because facials should not only transform your skin but also be an opportunity to reconnect with yourself and find tranquility.
In addition to tailored facials, I offer diamond microdermabrasion and gentle, low-irritant chemical peels to address a variety of skin concerns. No matter where you are in your skin journey, I am here to support you with personalized care and proven, effective treatments.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?

Perseverance.
Self confidence
Communication

My biggest and simplest piece of advice is to pay attention: listen more and speak less. There’s so much to learn simply by observing and tuning in. Beyond that, I encourage you to find your passion—uncover what unique gifts you bring to the world, and then do everything you can to forge a clear, determined path toward it.
Be prepared, though: there will always be people who try to slow you down or steer you off course. Trust your gut and learn to navigate around the noise and negativity.

Okay, so before we go we always love to ask if you are looking for folks to partner or collaborate with?

I love collaboration and yes, I am looking for folks to collaborate with.
You are another service provider doing lashes, waxing hair or nails. Let’s connect.
I am also looking for influencers in the city of Austin surrounding areas or even Texas. I offer discounted service rates and model rates in exchange for posts about my services and what I offer so let’s help each other grow !
I believe strongly in referral networks, and I am currently building mine.
