Part 1 of 2: Get to know Julie's co-owner, Susie Celek, tomorrow on I Want Her Job.
Julie Dorenbos is one half of the duo behind Skin Palette, a sunless tanning salon in Philadelphia. After several years of working in finance and weekends at the beach, Julie changed her career and lifestyle following a friend’s diagnosis with skin cancer. She set out to create a safe bronzing environment, shunning UV tanning beds in favor of a healthy alternative. Along with best friend and business partner Susie Celek, she became a certified sunless tanning expert and co-founded Skin Palette in 2011.
Julie graduated with a degree in business and economics and worked at financial services giant ING. Five years and several sales awards later, she made the leap to skincare and opened Skin Palette. Since then, the business has been recognized for excellence and garnered positive reviews in Allure, InStyle and Philadelphia magazine. In addition to Skin Palette, Julie models and makes appearances on local media. She's married to Philadelphia Eagles long snapper Jon Dorenbos and has appeared with friend Kendra Wilkinson on the TV show, "Kendra."
Julie recognizes hard work and girl power for getting her to where she is today. “There is no doubt the most important component to Skin Palette's success is the relationship between my business partner, Susie, and me,” says Julie. “We believe there are no challenges too big for the both of us.”
