Beauty + Health Advocate, Founder of Joy of Beauty ®
Joy A. Johnson, the distinguished recipient of the 2023 Maryland Woman-Owned Small Business of the Year award from the Small Business Administration (SBA), is a prominent figure in the Washington, DC Metropolitan beauty industry. With multiple beauty licenses, academic experience, and authorship under her belt, she is the driving force behind Nails & Faces of Joy, LLC, the parent company of Joy of Beauty®.
Joy developed a line of beauty products catering to those with diabetes and compromised immune systems. The diabetic and immuno-compromised-friendly brand was inspired after watching mother beautify herself despite her cancer diagnosis. It displayed a willingness to feel good while undergoing treatment.
Her mission involves educating both beauty professionals and consumers on the art of self-care while navigating health challenges like cancer and diabetes.
