Triangle Spa Raleigh NC Day Spa Under 40 Award

May 18th, 2009

Renee’ Jankowsky, owner of Generations Salon and Day Spa, wins Triangle Business Journal’s coveted 40 Under 40 Award

Renee’ Jankowsky, owner and founder of Generations Salon and Day Spa in the Brierdale Shopping Center at Brier Creek in Raleigh, is the recipient of the region’s 40 Under 40 award, which recognizes the top young business leaders and owners under the age of 40 in the greater Raleigh Durham metropolitan area.

The annual 40 Under 40 award is highly competitive and Jankowsky was selected from a large pool of nominees. Her selection was based on the work she has done to build Generations into one of the leading high end day spas in eastern North Carolina. Generations is a full service Aveda-certified salon offering a wide variety of products and services. Jankowsky manages a staff of 28 employees and her business serves an estimated 3,000 guests per month.

She was also chosen because of the extensive work she and her staff have done over the past five years supporting area non-profits. Since opening Generations in 2002, Jankowsky and her staff have donated over $100,000 in time and services to a wide variety of worthy causes. Under Jankowsky’s leadership, Generations has helped such organizations as Interact (Wake County’s rape and domestic abuse crisis center), the MS Society, The Jimmy V Foundation, The Make-A-Wish Foundation and many other non-profit groups that help those in need, or raise research funds to cure critical illnesses.

“I am very honored by the award,” said Jankowsky. “I have one of the best spa staff’s in the region and want to thank them for for their talent and high standards. I could not have accomplished this or the success of my business without them. I also want to thank my husband, Alex, and my mother, Linda Bronson, for their support and acknowledge them for the role they have played making my business successful. Mother’s Day this week is a reminder of the key role my mother has played as a mentor and cheerleader for my success. We’re all looking forward to a great year in 2009. Also, I also want to thank the Triangle Business Journal for sponsoring this award and selecting a woman business owner as one of their honorees. I hope the fact that I have won is an inspiration to other woman in the business community with big dreams.”

The announcement that Jankowsky had been selected as a 2009 40 Under 40 Award recipient was made at a gala celebration May 1 in Raleigh hosted by The Triangle Business Journal. Jankowsky will be profiled in an upcoming story in The Triangle Business Journal, and her name and profile will be included in the region’s annual “Book of Lists,” which identifies eastern North Carolina’s top businesses and business leaders.

Scottsdale Spa Owner Wins 2008 Femtor Award

Heidi Lamar was selected to receive the 2008 “Femtor Award” in the “Made it to a Million” category at a ceremony in Dallas on July 10, 2008 that gave away over $126,00 in grants and raised nearly $200,000 with a live auction.

At the gala ceremony, attended by over 3,300 members of the e-Women network from around the world, Heidi Lamar, one of 4 finalists, was chosen for her “Femtoring” within her company and community. Presenters and speakers included Michael Gerber, author of “The e-myth”, Janine Turner, actress and author, Sheila Johnson, co-founder of Black Entertainment Television and Partner of the WNBA’s Washington Mystics.

What is a Femtor?
The word Femtor is a registered trademark of eWomenNetwork. The term Femtor means “a wise and trusted woman providing knowledge, inspiration and practical information to other women.”  Femtor acknowledges the mentoring work done from a female experience and knowledge base. These experienced women seek out ways to teach, share their wisdom and help other women find their wings.

Made it to a Million Award
Current research shows that only 2% of women owned businesses generate revenues of $1 million annually.   This award recognizes an outstanding eWomenNetwork member who has demonstrated exemplary leadership and business skills in the course of starting and growing her company.  She must be the owner/CEO of a 51% woman-owned business that has a minimum of 5 full time employees with an annual company revenue of at least $1 million for the preceding fiscal year.

What does it mean to be an International Femtor® Award winner?
This prestigious international honor is awarded to women who have proven to be exemplary role models in the world of business. These awards acknowledge their outstanding achievements, skills, positive “can do” attitude and commitment to giving back to their communities. These women inspire others, are respected by their peers and volunteer their time and energy to serve others less fortunate.

The e-Women Network is recognized as the #1 resource for connecting and promoting women and their businesses worldwide. Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, eWomenNetwork, Inc. is the fastest growing membership-based professional women’s networking organization in North America, committed to helping women and their businesses achieve, succeed and thrive in the new economy.

Self-described as “the accidental spa owner,” Heidi Lamar purchased a commercial building 3 blocks North of the Scottsdale Fashion Square, that came with 2 tenants and a failing day spa. Enlisting her staff’s help in learning the spa business, she eventually was rewarded by being named #7 on the “Phoenix Best Places to Work” list, and recently as the “Best Day Spa, Best Massage & Best Facial” by Phoenix City Search. Allure magazine called Lamar’s Shiatsu Massage “one of the most indulgent massages from Boston to the Bay Area”.

Spa Lamar, is Arizona’s largest privately owned resort-style spa. Massages, Facials and Pedicures start at just $50 including all-day use of the sauna, steam room, swimming pool, whirlpool, private changing cabanas with lockers robes and towels and a tropical fruit and tea bar
