Rachel Webb, Master Esthetician

My name is Rachel Webb. I’m a graduate of NIMA (National Institute of Medical Aesthetics), and a licensed Master Aesthetician specializing in laser treatments, chemical peels, microneedling, and customized facials. I decided I wanted to be an Aesthetician after dealing with so many skin problems myself. I understand the physical pain and emotional exhaustion that comes from trying to maintain healthy skin. Throughout my time as an Aesthetician, I have gained a much deeper understanding of skincare, and it has been so rewarding helping others reach their own goals. It can be intimidating to come in and get started, but I work hard to make sure each client feels safe and comfortable throughout each treatment. In partnership with Swinyer-Woseth Dermatology, I know we can help you achieve your skincare goals!

When I’m not at work, I spend my free time as a rock climbing instructor and belayer. I also love cooking, card games, camping, and reading.
