A Message From Our New Owner

Hello Gorgeous,

It’s been a while. We have been busy around here.

On August 1, I took over full ownership of POUT Cosmetics & Skin Studio.

To be honest, I felt a little overwhelmed because I know what a big responsibility this is, but I also know that Joe Blanchard brought me to Columbia and POUT just for this.

I am so thankful to the man that saw something in me and wanted the end result to be this, and I am also so thankful to you – our gorgeous customers – for believing in me. My team. And the beautiful shop we call POUT.

I have always wanted POUT to be a place where you walk in and gasp at how pretty it is, but I also want it to be a place where it feels safe to feel whatever you are feeling, to feel loved, supported and always beautiful.

We will continue this mission for people in Columbia and beyond. Everyone deserves to feel loved, beautiful and seen.

Thank you for supporting me through the many changes in these last six years. It has not gone unseen. YOU are the ones that have kept me going.

I will end this with a quote Joe said quite often.

“There is no kill switch on awesome.” – Joe Blanchard

So cheers to the next generation of POUT being awesome.
