Melanie has 24 years of experience and specializes in European and advanced anti-aging spa treatments.

“I was born and raised in Sacramento, CA. I love spending time with my friends and family, cooking, working out, and of course spending time with my fur baby Dutton. I used to give my mom and grandmother “facials” when I was a little girl using Ponds cold cream and Noxema. It’s been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember.

I have been a licensed cosmetologist since 2000. I realized after I graduated from Federico school I needed some advanced training. I traveled monthly to Los Angeles to the International Dermal Institute where I took courses in European skin care techniques, advanced face mapping, advanced waxing, skin analysis, advanced cleansing, and massage techniques. During one of my finals, I even got to meet Jane Martin Wurwand, she is the founder of Dermalogica and International Dermal Institute. Armed with my new knowledge, I started at Arden Hills Country Club and went on to start my own business in 2007 and I have been in business ever since.

I have been so fortunate to be in a career that I absolutely love and can’t believe I get to go to work every day doing something I’m so passionate about. I’ve made many lifelong friends who are my clients, I’ve seen their children grow up and become parents themselves, and am now performing services for them. What makes me stand out from other aestheticians I would say is my 24 years of experience and am passionate about making women feel beautiful. It fills my heart when women say wow I never knew my skin could look so good. I also love working with women and teens with acne issues. So many times I’ve heard “I’ve tried everything and nothing works!” Only to find their skin cleared up in a matter of months.

 I specialize in Custom facials, Collagen facials, brow shaping, Brazilian waxes, teen facials, and custom product recommendations at home.”
