Meet Minette!
With more than 18 years in the beauty world, Minette has dedicated her career to making people feel beautiful, confident, and cared for. Her journey actually started while studying Art History at UC Berkeley, where working as a part-time makeup artist sparked a lifelong passion for the industry. She later spent years refining her skills with Laura Mercier Cosmetics—an incredibly educational chapter that taught her how to pair advanced artistry with a truly personalized client experience. From models and musicians to brides and professional women of all ages, Minette loves collaborating with her clients to create looks ranging from everyday natural to head-turning glam. Later in life, Minette's personal journey into holistic living shifted her perspective on beauty, skincare, and health. Wanting to offer her clients true skin healing, she went back to school to study Esthetics and Massage at the Aveda Institute. Now, she channels her passion for clean ingredients and therapeutic touch into every facial. As a certified Gua Sha facial massage specialist, Minette is always learning new ways to nurture your skin. When you are in her treatment room, her goal is simple: to provide a space of optimal relaxation, share loving knowledge about your skin, and leave you with a beautiful sense of well-being.
