BETHESDA — Judeana Gramlich is bringing four new beauty devices to her new full-time work location at Color Me Madd salon in Bethesda.
Thursday afternoon marked the grand opening and launch party for Gramlich, who will be starting her full-time position at Color Me Madd as an aesthetic nurse practitioner. At the grand opening, Gramlich and visitors celebrated the integration of her business JG Cosmetique+ at the salon.
“I always wanted to make people feel better about themselves,” she said. “I feel like it’s really important. You have to be happy with yourself before you can only be happy with other things and it just kind of starts falling in line.”
At the launch party, Gramlich gave away a laser hair removal package, one year of Xeomin for treating wrinkles, one year of Botox and one year of syringe juvederm filler for free.
The hydro facial, Subnovii Plasma Pen, Motus AZ+ and Vybe RF microneedling device are all new tools coming to the salon through Gramlich’s services. They treat everything from hair removal to fine lines and wrinkles.
Gramlich said the hydro facial is a device used to deep clean the skin and keep up with maintenance. The Subnovii Plasma Pen is an all-natural way to regenerate the skin while tightening and raising the eyebrows and reducing fine lines and wrinkles. The Motus AZ+ is a hair removal device that takes six to eight sessions to remove the hair and is painless, Gramlich emphasized. The Vybe RF microneedling device uses needles to rejuvenate the skin.
Gramlich started her aesthetics journey back in 2022 when she talked to Casey Harris, the owner of Wink Lash Studio in St. Clairsville, who she told she was interested in beauty and aesthetics. She later got certified last March. From there, Harris offered her a room to rent at her studio in the spring of 2023 and encouraged her to go after her dream. A year later she is now doing aesthetics full time for her business.
Gramlich started working at Color Me Madd in March, but it wasn’t until Thursday at her grand opening that she announced she would be working at the salon full time for her business JG Cosmetique+.
Gramlich believes the salon is a perfect fit for her because all of their services from hair, nails and tattoos to weight loss, wrinkles and aging all tie in together.
“I want people to be happy,” she said. “I want them to love themselves whether or not it’s with or without wrinkles, but if taking away a few is going to make them have more confidence about themselves, then I want to do that to help them.”
She also described the team at Color Me Madd as one big happy family.
Rosie Johnson is also someone who encouraged Gramlich to go after her dreams and offered her a room at her own salon, Color Me Madd.
Although she will now be working at the salon full time, Gramlich still plans to work at Wink Lash Studio occasionally, while keeping up with home visits as well.
Gramlich also offers services such as wrinkle relaxer and filler that she has provided in her time as an aesthetic nurse practitioner. She also provides weight loss services to clients. Gramlich emphasized that she is not taking away from diabetics and said the medical grade weight loss she sells is compounded.
“It is not generic, and it is not brand,” she said.” “We are doing and selling and giving compounded formulations of the weight loss medication that is also given to diabetics. So, that’s a big misconception.”
Gramlich brings 30 years of medical background, as she worked as a nurse practitioner for 13 years at what is now WVU Medicine Wheeling Hospital and worked in general practice cardiology and gastroenterology as well as being a registered nurse before pursuing her dream to work in beauty and aesthetics.
She still plans to work at the hospital as needed to keep up her medical qualifications, she said, because she “loves taking care of people.”
Gramlich described her goal as making more of the community aware about anti-aging and preventive measures people can do and to also fix some of the damage that’s already been done.
She noted that aesthetics gives people the confidence they did not have before.
“It’s all about making people feel good about themselves,” she said. “People don’t come in here and say, ‘I want to do it for other people.’ Everybody that comes in my room, they want to do it for themselves.”
