Lauren Chiu
Licensed Esthetician
Areas of Strength:
Sensitive Skin, Anti-Aging & Acne Treatments
I strive to make clients feel comfortable in their own skin through listening to their concerns, identifying a suitable treatment plan, and performing effective services to meet their goals. Growing up I had very sensitive skin. For years I tried to eradicate my hyperpigmentation, acne, and eczema flareups. After trial and error and lots of research, I was able to clear my skin. Seeing the transformation in my skin made me passionate to help others do the same. After graduating from college with a B.A. in Sociology, I combined my passion to help others with esthetics. Bridging my two passions together and becoming a licensed esthetician was one of the best decisions I ever made!
