About Jacquelyn
Hello! Allow me to introduce myself! I’m Jacquelyn and I’ve been practicing aesthetics for over a decade now! I made the leap from a corporate salon to begin practicing independently in 2016. I’m a state licensed aesthetician , Dermalogica certified skin expert, with advanced training in clinical modalities, acne, cosmetic chemistry, and barrier disordered skin.
I spent the first few years of my career scouring the shelves of a large beauty store researching product ingredients and formulations so to be of use to potential clients with questions and wanting product recommendations.
In addition to the frequent trainings I had access to in this environment, the high volume and diversity of clients increased my expertise and knowledge base, and I was able to build a following that would allow me to take the next step. After discovering Mint Salon Block (the location of my current working space) I knew it was time to branch out on my own and start saving faces in the way I saw fit.

Since launching my own practice here in 2016, I’ve been adding services and continuing to educate myself in the latest modalities, products, techniques and research. I continue to strengthen my healing intuition and knowledge base through consistent client communication and careful observations of patterns and results.
I take a unique approach by providing in-depth and personalized consultation, taking to account each clients diet, history, environmental factors, and other health concerns and track each client’s progress meticulously.

Philosophy & Mission Statement
My belief is that acne and other skin ailments are not genetic nor do they appear for no reason. These maladies are a result of our skin trying to communicate something is amiss in the body. There is ALWAYS a cause and always a natural solution. The root cause is different for everyone and the key to treatment is uncovering it. I believe it is possible for everyone to have beautiful, healthy skin if they are willing to take their healing into their own hands. My passion is helping people do that!
I believe good skin starts from the inside as well as the outside.
I hope to help those that are seeking a natural and alternative way to treat acne, aging and other concerns as well as those who have been failed by traditional dermatology and aesthetic methods.
My approach differs from traditional aesthetics in that it is based on a method called face mapping extracted from TCM (traditional Chinese medicine). I’ve seen first hand how astonishingly accurate this school of thought is, and over the years I’ve come to develop my own proprietary way of reading skin & assessing potential triggers based on the nuances and patterns I’ve observed. This helps me determine potential root causes when combined with a thorough consultation that reveals the individuals environment, lifestyle, diet and health history. From there I take a unique and personalized approach and develop a treatment plan.
In addition to assessing visible breakout patterns, I believe it is crucial to repair the skins barrier function and return it to a state of hydration and balance through a personalized and curated at home regimen joined with tailored treatments.
I also incorporate elements of corneotherapy which is the reparation of the skins epidermis (the outer most protective layer), combined with a deep understanding of cosmetic formulations and ingredients as well as skin and acne pathology.
I have had massive success fusing these elements of practice and my mission is to save as many faces as possible by putting the knowledge and tools into the hands of my clients, empowering them to take their skin to the next level!
I am so thrilled to be working with you to achieve all of your skin care goals and dreams!
