My name is Marissa, I have been an esthetician for almost 10 years now and it was my dream at 12 years old to become one. Like most everyone in their teens I suffered bad acne and I was fortunate enough for my mom to take me to an esthetician who worked under a dermatologist. I would receive a small series of facials with chemical peels and it truly helped me in more ways than one. The esthetician I had was so amazing and really educated me on the whole process, I couldn’t believe she had such a fun job, I mean she got to do extractions for a living! From then on I knew that I wanted to be an esthetician, I even wrote a paper about it in middle school for an English assignment!

   I enrolled for beauty school the summer after junior year and went full time until I graduated in four months while eventually going back to school for my senior year. I passed my license test in November 2012, from there I have worked at a variety of different salons collecting more education and experience as well as extra classes.

   “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” This holds so true to me, I absolutely love what I do from facials to hair removal to extractions - this job brings me so much joy and gratitude. Getting to take care of people's skin while talking all day about products, new shows, adventures and life is so much fun. I always strive to create a safe and loving environment for each and every person that comes in, as you lay your skin bare for me!
