what was your journey to becoming an aesthetician?
I started out working front desk at a spa that had a makeup counter. I learned how to do makeup practicing on clients and started doing makeup for weddings and events. I loved the feeling of working in the spa environment and working with clients, it felt natural and easy to help people feel good about themselves, so I decided to go to beauty school and get my Esto license. I have been loving it ever since. I taught myself how to wax when I was young. It’s something I’ve always felt confident doing, and its fun to me!

Brows (wax/tint/laminations) and brazilians. I take brows very seriously; I love doing them. I’m very efficient at Brazilians and pride myself on my technique they are my most requested service.

Getting to make someone feel more comfortable and confident in themselves, meeting new people and building good relationships with clients. Building trust with people and helping anyone who’s ever scared to get waxed, feels self-conscious/etc. relax and feel comfortable. Especially if I can make anyone laugh, it makes my day! Working as part of a team with other talented esthetician’s and learning from each other. Getting to work in an industry where there are always new and exciting services to provide keeps me on my toes.
