Brit C.

Licensed Esthetician

Brit is a devoted mom with a heart for positive mindset, clean beauty, and creating a calm, welcoming space. Her esthetics journey began in 2020 with mobile spray tanning, trained by Norvell, where she quickly realized how much confidence and joy a simple service could bring others. Wanting to make an even greater impact, she pursued her esthetics license at Cortiva Institute in 2021 — and has been pouring her passion into the industry ever since.

She chose esthetics because she believes self-care isn't just about looking good — it's about feeling truly seen, valued, and cared for. Specializing in dermaplaning, chemical peels and anti-aging facials, spray tanning, brow lamination, and her new favorite — head spa therapy — she focuses on every detail to create experiences that refresh, uplift, and restore balance.

Lauren N.

Esthetician · Apprentice Lash Artist

Lauren is a passionate esthetician who loves helping clients feel confident and comfortable in their own skin. She has always been drawn to beauty and skincare, especially because of her own journey with acne, which inspired her to learn more about treating and understanding the skin on a deeper level.

She enjoys creating a relaxing, welcoming experience for every client while focusing on results-driven treatments. She is currently continuing to grow her skills in services like facials, lash enhancements, and more, and loves staying up to date with new techniques in the industry.

Outside of the treatment room, she enjoys spending time with loved ones, exploring new places, and anything that helps her feel balanced and inspired.

Apprentice pricing: As our apprentice lash artist, Lauren offers reduced-rate Classic Full Set $85 and Classic Fill $50 while she builds her book.
