Welcome To Serene Society!

Jenny describes herself as a moderately laid back, kind of a perfectionist, but somewhat all over the place small-town girl with big dreams. She moved to Arizona from Nebraska with her mom and siblings in 2004 and although she now calls the desert home, she will always be a midwest girl at heart!

Growing up, she dreamt of becoming a fashion designer. She received a full-ride scholarship to fashion school, but in an unexpected turn of event decided to ditch that dream and ventured into the beauty and wellness industry.

After working for a few nail salons and spas, Jenny took a leap of faith and rented a room inside of a beauty salon in an attempt to start her own business. She was in her early 20's and not in the best financial situation. Let's be honest, she was broke! But she needed supplies, furniture, and decor, so she headed down to the good old neighborhood Goodwill. There, she spotted the tree! It was exactly what she was looking for and she thought to herself, "I would have never been able to afford this at full price!" She excitedly brought it back to her suite and placed it in the perfect spot. 

From there, she went on to open Serene Day Spa in 2015 and Serene Nail Bar in 2020. One year later the Marriott (yes, that Marriott) purchased the building the nail bar was located in, so she was forced to relocate. Ironically, the suite next to her spa became available, so she moved the nail bar right next door! In 2022, the businesses were combined and became one half of Serene Society.

Both businesses has evolve and gone through changes throughout the years, but one thing remains the same, the tree! It is still sitting at the spa today and it is a reminder of where Jenny came from, and how important it is to stay humble.

Jenny retired from doing services after she became pregnant with baby Saint. What's funny is she has come out of retirement at least a dozen times, but she says this industry is one that keeps sucking you back in! When she's not at Serene Society, she likes to spend time with her son (of course), travel, make cocktails, decorate, and shop at Temu till she drops. She shops there so much that we think Temu should offer her a partnership!
