	ERICA GISVOLD Co-Owner and Senior Esthetician Erica’s passion for esthetics began as a personal bout with a serious case of adult acne. At first it began as a means to an end which later developed into a passion and a successful career punctuated with accolades. After receiving her esthetics license in 2002 she began to work for Jurlique where she quickly culminated her career into the management of several spa’s and became one of their top west coast trainers in simply two years. She later continued to finesse her passion for esthetics with continued advanced training while she developed her business skills at a fortune 500 company in marketing and sales. This transition then led to her dream of opening up her own spa specializing in anti-aging and the rejuvenation of skin. Erica focuses on customized facials, full-body waxing, and is certified in Microdermabrasion.
