I am so incredibly honored and grateful to all of you for voting Face First Studio Best Facial in Virginia 🤍

Just over a year ago, I opened the doors to my little studio with a vision of creating something that felt different: a space where results-driven skincare and healing touch could exist together. I truly believe you shouldn’t have to choose between the two.

To see that vision embraced by so many of you means more than I can put into words.

Thank you for trusting me with your beautiful faces, for supporting this dream, and for cheering on this little studio every step of the way. None of this would be possible without you.

This is only the beginning, and I can’t wait to show you what’s next. ✨

12 weeks. 6 sessions. And she’s still going strong!

Meet my 12-Week Customized Melasma Program, designed to deliver real, lasting change. This client’s journey is proof that consistency pays off, and the best part? These results were achieved over the summer. Just imagine what we can do together in the cooler months ahead.

Pigmentation takes time, but with the right plan, transformation is possible. 🌟

Face First Studio started with a vision: to create a space where results, education, and a hands on experience could all exist together.

Everything I’ve learned, everywhere I’ve been, and every experience that’s shaped me led me here.

When you feel your best, you show up as your best! 🤍

Thus @thefacefirststudio was born.

September really said: “It’s fall now, y’all!” 🍂

A girls weekend in Chicago, taking the stage at not one, but TWO skincare conferences, lots of learning, and a little @thefacefirststudio secret we’ve been keeping...

26 days. One product. Let’s look at what actually changed. 🔎

This client came in concerned with hyperpigmentation, but her VISIA scan showed prolonged redness and sensitivity after extended Hydroquinone use.

Before focusing on correction, we needed to calm the inflammation and support her skin barrier.

The only change? Adding SENTÉ Dermal Repair Cream.

Just 26 days later, her follow-up VISIA showed an incredible reduction in visible redness and sensitivity.

Healthy skin starts with a healthy barrier, and sometimes doing less is exactly where we need to start.

more from iS Clinical! 🤍

From live demos and panel conversations to connecting with so many talented professionals in this industry, the Global Advanced Seminar was filled with the kind of education and conversations that leave you feeling inspired to get back in the treatment room.

So grateful I got to be a small part of it, until the next one! 🫶🏽

There are moments in your career that make you stop and think… how did I get here?

@isclinical has been part of my skincare journey from the very beginning. It was the first professional skincare line I ever used and when I tell you Active Serum changed my skin, I mean it.

Fast forward almost a decade, and I’m standing on stage at the iS Clinical Advanced Seminar as a guest presenter, alongside so many incredible educators and industry professionals. A vision-board-level dream. 🥹

I’ve spent so much of my career learning, asking questions, investing in education, and constantly trying to become better for the people who trust me with their skin. To now be invited into these rooms not only as a student, but as an educator, is something I’ll never take for granted.

Still learning. Still growing. And definitely still pinching myself a little. 🤍

So grateful to iS Clinical for trusting me with a seat at the table and to every client, mentor, educator, and fellow esthetician who has been part of the journey that got me here.

Still processing this weekend at @scienceofskinsummit! ⭐️

I gave my conference presentation on multi-modality care, hosted a breakout session on becoming the esthetician clients trust, spent time with @alastinskincare at their booth, and somehow still found plenty of time to roam the skincare hall and nerd out over everything skin.

Thank you @scienceofskinsummit for having me, definitely a weekend I won’t forget.

Personally, SPF deserves a raise. 😂

If your skincare products had jobs, this is EXACTLY what they’d be doing.
