In 2011, Jodi Bendsfeld was a stay-at-home mom looking for a business to run when she chose the tanning industry and a place in Midnapore called Tahiti Tans. The shift to business owner has had is challenges, but Jodi continues to persevere. “Each day is an amazing learning experience," she says. "I’ve just never given up.”
When she realized the tanning industry was changing, Jodi knew she would have to adjust by adding more spa services to Tahiti Tans. In order to make that change she enrolled in classes to become an esthetician. “I really enjoy being an esthetician," she says. "It's more personable. I get to be one-on-one with my clients and I enjoy that.”
Now Tahiti Tans offers full esthetic services including waxing, manicures, pedicures and eyelash extensions, and the new additions have been a hit with Jodi's clients. “Overall the clients like the changes. It has been busy and is getting busier each year, so I feel we’re right on track," notes Jodi.
