Sarah Young, CMA
"I began working in the beauty industry because I loved cosmetics. But my favorite part of the process was seeing the initial canvas BEFORE the mask. I realized that caring for the canvas was so much more important and lasting than covering it up. So I decided to go into advanced aesthetics and have loved every minute! Beauty is such a subjective term. But what's beautiful to me is healthy, refreshed, rejuvenated, REAL. My specialty as a medical esthetician deals with the body's largest organ. The one that holds it all together. The one that the rest of the world sees. As a matter of fact, it's the FIRST thing the world sees... your gorgeous face. I want to help you fall in love with the person looking back at you in the mirror."
