- Facial Treatment
- Chemical PeelI have always been drawn to the skincare/spa industry because of a lifetime of acne. Having grown up with bad skin, I personally knew the headache and embarrassment caused from classmates making fun of me because of my skin. I have always thought of how special it would be to help others who suffered from acne. I decided to attend the Institute of Aesthetic Arts and Sciences after I moved to CT in l996. I absolutely fell in love with it and wished that I had pursued the field 20 years earlier. After graduating from the Institute of Aesthetic Arts and Sciences, I worked in Westport at Dream Spa. We were transferred back to Atlanta, and after a couple months of unpacking boxes, and getting settled received a phone call from Barbara Salamone, owner of Bioelements. I had been referred to her from a friend. After a phone conversation and then going to Chicago for a face to face meeting, I was offered the position of National Educator. They had 5 Conservatory of Esthetics, located from LA to Boston. I managed the Atlanta School (#6) and taught all the classes and traveled to the other conservatories teaching classes, and working skincare shows nationally. After 7 years with Bioelements, they economy had been suffering for a few years, and they decided to close all the schools except Chicago. I was then out of a job! I love teaching and inspiring others, so I decided to go back to school and get my teaching license. I was hired by the school that I attended for my instructors course. I currently teach the Medical Module and that includes preparing the students for the state boards. I’m proud to say that I have a 100% pass rate, since I’ve held the position. I teach Chemical Peels, MLD, Advanced Cosmetic Chemistry, Medical skin analysis, camouflage makeup. Most of all, I’m their cheerleader! I feel that I got a superior education in skin care from The Institute of Aesthetic Arts and Sciences. I am grateful for that and know that Kathy really cares about the quality of education that she and her staff provide.
