The Roanoker - March/April 2021 - 40

" But when I sat back
and reflected on her
maturity and her
education and what
she'd accomplished so
far, I had to say, 'Yes,
you're my child, but I
respect you as an artist
and as a professional.' "
-Melinda Kantor

40 MARCH/APRIL 2021

Mostly there's been a gradual
realignment, where mother and daughter
each embrace the other's skills and strengths.
" I'm inspired by how she works on a
canvas that bleeds and swells and changes, "
Melinda says of Jordan's tattooing of
areolas on women who've had breast
reconstruction surgery after cancer.
These days, the two have largely divided
up the services they provide: Melinda
focuses on skin care and brow shaping,
while Jordan performs the permanent
makeup and tattooing.
" It made the boundaries easier, " says
Jordan. " We feel like we can be more

mother-daughter than boss-employee. "
And owning a business together, just
the two of them, has meant they have
only themselves to consult if they'd like
to take time off to attend a training or a
conference.
" That's something that's really important
to us, " Jordan says, " to continue to learn. "
This spring, the Kantors will begin
another chapter together. They've
purchased a new space in Old Southwest
and are renovating it to reflect their shared
aesthetic and design.
" It's been really cool, " Jordan says.
" We're a team, now. "

Melinda (left) and Jordan Kantor
have worked together at Skin Care
Consulting for five years. This
spring the business will move to a
new location - still in Roanoke's
Old Southwest - where the duo's
shared aesthetic will be on display.
