THE OWNER
After graduating from Assumption College with an accounting degree, I soon realized that accounting/finance was not the career field I wanted. Only a few months later, I enrolled in esthetics school at Catherine Hinds Institute of Esthetics. Skincare had always been an obsession of mine, so I decided to go back to school for a career I knew I would enjoy. I graduated from the 1,200-hour Master Esthetics program as a Licensed Esthetician.
In high school and my early years in college, I worshipped the sun. If I wasn’t lying outside for hours at a time, I was visiting a tanning bed. While in esthetic school, I learned how damaging the sun, and the radiation it emits is for the skin - the body’s largest organ. I began to acknowledge all the harm I had caused to mine over the years, so sunscreen, which I had only used occasionally at the beach, became a necessity in my daily routine. However, I still wasn’t ready to embrace my Irish complexion, so I became interested in airbrush tanning.
As a result, I established Kissed - an airbrush tanning service - as a healthy and safer method for obtaining a glowing appearance. My goal is to educate others on the importance of skincare and to provide an alternative service to sunbathing that looks just as natural.
