I am Janae. And I change faces.

Some of you are meeting me for the first time. Others have watched this journey unfold for years.

Before Changing Faces Atelier became a destination for professional skincare, there were countless faces, early mornings, backstage moments, television studios, classrooms, beauty campaigns, and experiences that shaped the woman and professional I am today.

Every face taught me something. Every opportunity expanded my perspective. And every chapter brought me closer to understanding that beauty begins long before the makeup is applied.

Nearly three decades later, my passion for the craft remains, but my purpose has evolved.

Today, I bring those years of artistry, education, and experience into every ritual at Changing Faces Atelier.

This is not a reinvention of who I am.

It’s an evolution of everything I’ve become.

To my longtime guests, thank you for being part of the journey.

And to those who are new, welcome. We have so much to talk about.

There’s something beautiful about beginning again.

A new space. A renewed sense of purpose. And an even deeper appreciation for the women who have entrusted me with their skin over the years.

Changing Faces Atelier has entered a new chapter, and this one is about you.

The woman who’s been meaning to make time for herself.

The woman who understands that caring for her skin is an investment, not an indulgence.

And the woman who’s ready to experience professional skincare with intention.

Whether you’re returning to the Atelier or discovering us for the first time, I look forward to welcoming you.

The doors are open. Your ritual awaits.

Before the veil, the lace, and the music… there is your skin. ✨

Last night, I attended One Iconic Night, hosted by The St. Regis Chicago and Modern Luxury Weddings. An exquisite evening of romance, beautiful details, and inspiration for the moments we’ll remember forever.

And, of course, your favorite esthetician was thinking about the preparation behind the bridal glow.

Your skin deserves a place in your wedding plans. Thoughtful care, consistency, and treatments tailored to your needs begin well before the walk down the aisle—so you can arrive feeling confident, cared for, and beautifully yourself.

At Changing Faces Atelier, our philosophy remains: Skincare First; Makeup Second.

Planning your “I do”? Let’s begin with you. Reserve your New Guest Experience at changingfacesatelier.com.

Your face knows fall is coming before you do and your skincare should keep up. 🍂

With 30 years of experience in skin and skincare, I’ve learned that understanding your skin is just as valuable as what you put on it.

My Substack is where I share my professional notes: answering your questions, explaining the “why,” and making skincare easy to understand and apply to everyday life. Consider it a little continuing education from your favorite esthetician.

Read my latest entry on seasonal skincare, and bring your questions. There’s always more to learn about the skin you’re in.

COMING SOON | THE BOUDOIR EDIT

There is something powerful about seeing yourself differently.

A little vintage.
A little sensual.
A little unapologetic.

This boudoir shoot was about femininity, confidence, beauty and taking up space just like MAGENTA! In a setting that feels like stepping into another era.

Lace. Roses. Vintage details. A cocktail at the bar.
And, of course, a touch of MAGENTA on the lips.

Because sometimes the most beautiful photographs aren’t about posing for the camera. They’re about capturing a side of yourself that deserves to be seen.

And this beautiful vintage setting?
There’s more to that story coming soon.

Boudoir. Beauty. MAGENTA.
A private experience is developing.

Your skin has entered a new season has your skincare routine?

As temperatures begin to drop, your skin may become drier, more sensitive, congested, or simply start behaving differently. Your skin type hasn’t necessarily changed, but its condition may have and that deserves professional attention.

The Seasonal Skincare Overview is a virtual consultation exclusively for existing Atelier guests. Together, we’ll review your progress, assess lifestyle and environmental influences, refine your home-care regimen, and adjust your treatment plan for fall.

You may not need an entirely new routine. You may simply need the right adjustments.

Reserve your Seasonal Skincare Overview and let’s prepare your skin before winter has a chance to introduce herself.

Skincare is maintenance not a seasonal emergency.
