Hi, I’m Alli!
I’ve been servicing clients in the beauty industry for almost 20 years. I love to assist clients on their personalized skin journey and helping enhance your beauty from the inside out! I believe in result driven treatments, so for over a decade, I’ve relied on Cosmedix skin care. It corrected my post acne scarring and has kept my aging at bay for close to 20 years. It is a remarkable medical grade line.
I specialize in waxing, brow shaping and tinting, post acne scarring, barrier repair and slowing the skins aging process specifically with microneedling, skin appropriate chemical treatments, and/or custom facials (that include an AWESOME facial massage). Results are vital in achieving your aesthetic goals, but I also believe pampering and self-care is a form of wellness. When you book a service with me, I ensure you are relaxed and comfortable!
The Woman Behind the Brand
My Grandma Jane was always so stylish.
I remember she always had her makeup and nails done, dyed and permed hair perfectly set, clothes pressed, ALL the jewelry and accessories, and awful smelling perfume…but it was hers, so I loved it!
I can’t remember when I found out my grandma had studied to become a beautician (I want to say it was either shortly before or after I was in school to become an esthetician), but I remember thinking, “ha! It all makes sense now!”
I immediately started reminiscing about how she bought me my first set of makeup brushes and how her and my mom sat me down to teach me how to apply makeup that didn’t look like I had 30 layers on trying to cover up pimples. I remember her taking me to Macy’s when I was 11 or 12 to try on prom dresses to try and distract me from feeling self conscious about having bad acne. I remember our outings to all the great malls in Northern California and how it was always an event for my brother and me.
I even remember feeling special to be the one who got to push her around in her wheelchair. Even after she got sick, she still needed to wear a stylish wig, have her lipstick on and try to have her nails done. She taught me how to present myself with poise, because she always did. My parents sometimes joke that I’m just like Jane - especially my dad. Haha, she had a strong personality and those two were always butting heads. I take after both of them in many ways for which I’ve very proud.
Grandma Jane continues to shine through me in how I present myself, conduct myself, and how I share compassion and love with my clients. It’s only in my adult years that I realized how much I still look up to my grandma and am so grateful for those little moments that really shaped my childhood and how I viewed myself then and now. Her gift of showing love through positive affirmation has stuck with me since I became an esthetician.
I was 14 when my grandma died. My mom was my age now. I couldn’t see it then, but now, I see my grandma in how my mom holds herself and conducts herself with dignity and poise in all she does. What a gift! I am truly blessed to have such a legacy of remarkable women in my life that I continually look up to. Grandma Jane was the image of elegance and poise mixed with a little bit of flash and sass! So, since I take after her so much, this next chapter is for you, grandma… I love you and miss you, Jane Ellen.
