She was drawn to permanent hair removal by the immediate, visible results and her longstanding interest in medical aesthetics. After a successful career in hair services, she recently returned to laser hair removal and electrolysis and is excited to once again help clients boost their confidence through personalized, results-driven care. Her favorite part of the work is seeing the positive impact these treatments have on clients while continuing to refine a specialized and rewarding skill set.
