Skincare

They're almost ready for you, Miss Goldman.

Perfect.

Okay.

First time in television?

- Why would you say that? - Oh, nothing.

You'll do great.

- How does my skin look? - It looks perfect.

You got this. Listen, you are the best.

Everything is good. You have nothing to worry about.

Okay? - Okay.

- Okay, good. -

Okay, go out there and show these people who you are.

Okay. Okay, ready.

- - Welcome back.

Joining us in the studio today, aesthetician Hope Goldman.

Hope Goldman is the owner and namesake

of the Hollywood skincare studio Hope Goldman Skincare.

Hope, you really are the American dream.

From a small town,

made it big as a celebrity facialist.

And now you're launching your very own line of products.

I wasn't worried, but thank you.

Hmm.

I heard Brett talking about how great your products

are, earlier. - My ears are burning.

- Brett, hello. - I just wanted to come

and say hi before the taping. - So good to see you.

I have been telling everyone

how incredible I think your products are.

I tell you, I am so happy

that you are finally getting your own line.

It is time people remember what a pioneer you are.

Mandy, this young lady is the original skincare queen

in Hollywood,

and soon she's gonna be a household name.

Alright, I'll see you out there.

Wait, is it true? Do you make all of this

in Italy? - Yes, I do.

I know some would say

that creating the highest-quality products

and then shipping them from halfway across the world

is not the most obvious business plan.

But for me, there really was no other option.

In a business that's so competitive,

how do you stay relevant?

Oh, well, I don't want to date myself here,

but reputation is everything in this business.

And I, um... I don't see my life,

who I am, as separate from my work.

Hope Goldman Skincare, Hope Goldman,

Hope Goldman Skincare.

And I bottled it. And I bottled it.

I took everything I learned

from a 20-year career in this business,

and I bottled it. - Wow.

Well, I guess all that's left is, where do we get them?

Because I know I'm gonna want more.

Well, our official launch is still two weeks away.

So, for now, just through my studio, HGS, in Hollywood.

But coming soon to a store near you.

Um, excuse me, honey.

Hope does not allow any cellphones in the studio,

so please go outside if you need to use that.

Thank you.

- Hello! - Oh, thank you.

Alright. Bye, ladies.

See you soon.

What do you think's opening over there?

I didn't think we were allowed to have new neon signs here.

- Do you want a new sign? -

Maybe if we hadn't ordered 5,000 bottles of toner.

Should I drop this off at Armen's with the rest?

Yeah. We're out of space, and he's got room at the garage.

I'll text him, let him know you're coming.

He's in love with you.

You know, I am gonna go visit this neighbor,

see what I can find out.

Hope, remember, you have Colleen at noon.

Oh, she'll be late.

Hello?

Hello? Neighbor?

What is this place?

- Uh, we're not open yet. - Oh, I didn't, um...

Are you here to make an appointment?

No, I didn't, um...

I'm Hope.

Hope Goldman Skincare, just across the way.

- Oh, of course. - Yeah, right over there.

Ah, I'm Angel. Angel Vergara.

Nice to meet you. - Yeah.

- Okay. - Um, I brought you these.

It's just some of my products. - Oh.

- You'll love them. - Thanks.

That's very... sweet of you. - Yeah.

I developed them in Italy. - Nice!

I don't know if you have your own line, but, um,

all those formulas are copyrighted, though.

That's very smart.

Yeah, I just... I didn't realize what you were.

What do you mean?

I didn't realize you do skin.

- Jeff didn't tell you that? - Jeff? No. No.

- Oh. - Well...

I have a very busy day, so welcome.

I mean, it's an industry, no? So...

Yeah.

Listen, I hope you don't think I'm intruding on your territory.

Why would you even say that?

I don't... I don't think we carry the same clientele.

Do you? - No, no. I don't think so.

- No. - Cool.

- Good. - Good.

And I mean, as we're neighbors,

it's... it's totally fine if you park there today,

but I think you're in one of my spots.

They're supposed to be for Shimmer customers only.

Nice meeting you.

Why would you lease the space right across from me

to another facialist, Jeff?

I lease to whoever can pay the rent on time, Hope.

Okay, obviously, there have been some complications

with my product line, and it's costing me.

Didn't think of that before?

I had a backer.

I had a silent partner who funded the development

and was supposed to float me right through the launch.

The guy up and disappeared. I mean, it's not my fault.

Hope, we're trying to run a business, too.

This is not personal. Okay?

Jeff, come on.

How long have you known me?

- Hope... - 15 years, Jeff.

And in all that time, have I not been a good tenant?

Yes, yes, yes, of course. Yes. - Okay.

But it's not like it was in the beginning.

I have partners now. We need the money.

Okay, listen,

I really don't think I'm supposed to tell you this,

but I have taped a segment for "The Brett & Kylie Show."

It's airing this week.

Things are about to blow up, right?

I'm right back on track here. And I brought you...

your own product, just for you,

on me, from Italy.

Oh.

Because you're a part of this, too.
