About Our Expert Skincare Specialists

“Beauty doesn’t just happen, it happens by appointment!”

Skin health is my passion. Having been an acne sufferer my entire life, I know how frustrating it is to search for solutions. That personal journey inspired me to obtain my esthetics license and transmute my passion into a career focused on corrective skincare.

I have grown as a licensed esthetician over the last 16 years and strive to stay relevant, educated, and approachable. I like to say my clinical facials are “clinical with a relaxing touch.” I have created a warm and inviting space at our Cottonwood skin boutique; a space curated to leave you feeling truly pampered and welcome.

As I creep toward my 50th milestone birthday, I now have an increased awareness of aging, which drives my focus on anti-aging skincare. I work with trusted professional skincare lines, including PCA Skin and the Face Reality acne system, and have a variety of equipment to address all skin concerns. My specialized services include professionally certified dermaplaning, hydro-dermabrasion, advanced chemical peels, and micro-channeling technology.

I will work with you as an individual, and together we will find a customized solution for the skin issues you are concerned with. My clients will never feel pressured to buy or do anything they do not want. I believe if it is something I cannot offer, I have a professional obligation to be upfront and refer you out to someone who can. Having lived here in the Verde Valley since a teen, I am well connected to the Cottonwood, Sedona and Clarkdale communities and have nurtured many professional relationships.

In addition to skincare, I am now offering beauty enhancements such as the Elleebana lash lift and tint, along with brow and eyelash tinting, all available to add to a facial. My clients appreciate that each treatment is customized and includes a relaxing massage. Please join our email list for updates on new specials, products, services & more. I am also on Facebook and Instagram.

I truly believe a referral is the highest compliment a person can receive.

My family and I recently purchased a home in Clarkdale, after residing long term in Sedona. I am working at a Sedona resort, but I want to get connected with my community and grow my business here in the Cottonwood area with locals. Building long-term relationships and truly helping others is what I enjoy most about my career. I have never enjoyed high pressure sales. I thrive on educating others about how to create a routine that is approachable and custom tailored to the client’s needs, and pocketbook.

Aesthetics allows me the opportunity to enhance natural beauty, boost confidence and create personalized skincare solutions that make a real difference; simply ‘steaming and creaming’ is relaxing, however, creating reactions at a cellular level and promoting a true change in one’s appearance requires a more clinical approach to facials. My favorite service to perform is dermaplaning because it instantly leaves the skin smooth, radiant and refreshed, and gives immediate results. I invite you to come and experience a luxurious yet effective treatment with me.

Hi, my name is Zach! I’m a graduate of Sedona School of Massage. When I started school, I could not stand up straight, but by the time I had completed my studies, my posture had reset. With my own gratitude I intentionally share the healing power of massage with my clientele. I have had the experience of working on veterans suffering from various physical ailments at the VA hospital here in Cottonwood, which has allowed me to have a deeper dive into corrective pain management. In my 10 years of practice, I’ve worked on everyone from stay-at-home moms to body builders, which has given me extensive knowledge in a variety of areas. I incorporate myofascial techniques into all my treatments which facilitates connective tissue release on deeper levels. My goal is to provide an effective and relaxing service for my clients. My sessions always start with the same question, ‘How can I help you move better today?”

Hi, I’m Kristen. I have a growing family and reside here in Cottonwood, Arizona. I graduated from Penrose Academy in Phoenix in 2023 and became a certified Acne Expert with Face Reality in 2024. I became an esthetician because I’m passionate about helping people who struggle with their skin.

I personally dealt with acne for years and remember how overwhelming it felt—not knowing what to use, who to turn to, where to go, or how to truly clear my skin. That experience is what led me to this career.

My goal is to be the support and guidance I once needed for you; helping you understand your skin and giving you real, effective solutions so you can feel confident again.
