With a passion for beauty, entrepreneurship, and exceptional client care, Anna has grown Gloss Beauty Bar from a small lash studio launched during the COVID-19 pandemic into one of Kamloops' emerging beauty destinations. Located in downtown Kamloops, the business has expanded its offerings to include specialized lash extensions, brows, Russian manicure nail services, and most recently, a Japanese and Vietnamese-inspired Head Spa experience focused on relaxation and wellness. Anna's business education, combined with her commitment to delivering customized, high-quality services, has positioned Gloss Beauty Bar for continued growth. Through the support of Venture Kamloops and participation in the VK Accelerate Program, Anna developed a strategic business plan and gained the tools needed to confidently manage expansion and launch new services.
“The VK Accelerate Program has been incredibly helpful,” says Anna. “The business coaching, financial planning, competitor analysis, and launch planning gave me the structure and confidence to grow strategically. It challenged me to look deeper at my business and helped prepare me for this next stage of expansion.”
