“We built our business on being non-uppity,” RHOSLC's Heather Gay said. “We’re next to a Dollar Tree on purpose. That wasn’t out of budget constraints, that was to democratize self-care.'

Heather Gay, one of "The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City," also is a businesswoman and entrepreneur, co-owner of Beauty Lab + Laser.Many visitors to Salt Lake City take in the sights: Temple Square, the Utah State Capitol, the Beehive House, Hogle Zoo — and Beauty Lab + Laser.

Other fans go inside looking for Gay. “I hope that they come in,” she said. “You just walk in, say you’re there, say you want to take some selfies. ... They don’t need to buy anything, although we have merch. They can buy a t-shirt or a lip mask. They don’t have to have their lips injected.” Beauty Lab + Laser employs 30 people at the Murray location, and a second location is scheduled to open in Riverton in November, which will add two dozen more people to the company’s payroll.

They’re hoping to expand the effort. “We want to subsidize every med spa nationwide with the funds from our foundation, to allow these types of free treatments to exist,” Gay said. Gay said she and Robinson “built the business on our lifestyle. … Good parking, accessible, no pomp and circumstance and, like, just diminish some of the bulls--- In our lives right now. Just bring it down a notch.”
