Monica Beas
Department Lead for Estheticians
Areas of Strength: Anti-Aging, Hyperpigmentation, Acne, Waxing & Lash Artist
Skin care and beauty have always been my passion. Since my first facial when I was 13 years old I knew I wanted to become an esthetician. I struggled with acne throughout my teens and 20's, which people made fun of me for. I also had very thick eyebrows. Once I learned how to take proper care of my skin and eyebrows people began complementing me and asking me how I did that. I knew I wanted to help others with their self-image struggles through skin care and hair removal.

I've also had training in trigger point therapy. I am intuitive to client needs (reading body language, watching breathing, sensing the type of relaxation needed). I connect with their muscles and keep my pressure even throughout the massage. Service is pampering, while giving what is wanted (or not), and educating on what to do between massages to continue to ease tension. I promote chiropractic care if clients agree with it and very much promote STRETCHING!

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!
