Licensed Aesthetician
Chrissy Blake-Wilson
Starting as a MUA at the age of 16, Chrissy realized that the varied facial canvasses she worked with came with a variety of needs.

My motto became 'Your makeup will only look as good as your skin.'" On seeing the confidence renewed skin caused in her clients, Chrissy decided to become a licensed aesthetician and graduated from the New York School of Esthetics in 2022.
