ABOUT ME
I started to love all things beauty related very early.
I remember the favorite gift that I ever received for Christmas was a plastic fake cosmetic set that came with a compact that had a lite up mirror inside as well as a fake plastic lipstick and fake plastic eyeshadow duo. And that was it, that's when I became obsessed.
In fact, as a teenager I used to get up at 4 a.m. to have enough time to glam up for high school!
Needless to say, I attended beauty school as soon as I could, straight out of high school.
Makeup and skincare were always my passions and although I can do some decent updos, I never had a true interest in doing hair, so I went to school solely for the esthetician program and have been working professionally in the beauty industry ever since graduating from beauty school (about 11 years ago).
-I graduated from Regency Beauty Academy through their Esthetician (skin care, waxing, makeup artistry, etc.) program.
-After receiving my MN state Estheticians license, I worked as the lead esthetician at a well-known salon and spa for several years.
-I worked as an independent makeup artist for Studio Gear Cosmetics for several years.
-I have worked at runway shows doing makeup and theatre shows doing stage makeup.
-Most recently I have worked as a beauty concierge educating clients on products, recommending the best beauty products for them based on their needs and wants, and providing education and tips and tricks on how to use these beauty products.
-I have just completed the MN required 60 hour refresher course for esthiology and passed my in-person practical exam with a perfect score. I also scored very highly, on all 3 Minnesota State Board Exams for Esthiology and am currently awaiting my updated estheticians license to arrive in the mail.
