FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My prices are fairly straight forward but if you mention this post saying you saw this on THUMBTACK I will discount any service you request by 50%! All of my pricing is available on my website at www.pureestheticsskincare.com or you can check craigslist at www.eugene.craigslist.org as I always offer monthly specials as well as deals thru living social, groupon and locally coupon crusader. Starting in April I will be initiating a sliding fee scale for many of my services relating to pain management and stress reduction.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
In my field there is always something new to learn. My latest fields of study include kinetic dermabrasion and micro-needling. I am also very very excited about a new therapy using various wavelengths of light to accelerate healing, alleviate pain, reverse the signs of aging, help with acne and I have even seen one study where it helped people with long term traumatic brain injuries. I am currently pursing an avenue of research on my own that may lead to a breakthrough showing that it can also help people that are gluten intolerant or suffer from similar deficiencies.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I ended up here by accident LOL. I started by offering cosmetic teeth whitening (which I no longer do sadly) and decided to add airbrush tanning to my services. Oregon then became one of only 4 states requiring a license to do the airbrush tanning so I went back to school, got my license in esthetics and discovered I LOVE it. I first received my license in Jan 2009 and have not looked back. I currently have my own practice in a lovely serene setting with a private balcony overlooking the majestic trees of Pearl St. In March of 2012 I will be completing studies and receiving my certification as a Holisitic Healthcare Specialist and Alternative Healthcare Instructor.
