1. What is an esthetician?
A person who is knowledgeable about the nature and appreciation of beauty, especially in art. But really an esthetician is someone to pull out your unwanted hairs, color on your face, pop your zits and tell you you are pretty ... P.S. You are welcome!
2. Why is esthetics important?
Because we have eyes ... We like to look and feel our best. My job is to help women see how beautiful they are and help them achieve their goals.
3. What is the best advice you’ve ever received?
I live by three quotes: 1. "It’s not who you know, it’s who knows you." 2. "The prettier you are, the easier your life is." 3. "Most people miss heaven by 18 inches — the difference between knowing Him in your head vs Him in your heart."
4. What is something people would be surprised to learn about you?
I am an open book! No question is off-limits in my world, but if you don't know me you would be surprised how much of a "Star Trek" fan I am.
5. If your personality was a color, what would it be?
Red just like my hair, classic mixed with passion.
