		Lindsay Hello, my name is Lindsay and I am a skincare specialist educated in all areas of esthetics. After graduating from Yvonne de Vilar Scientific Skincare, I continue to take classes at the International Dermal Institute to stay updated with the ever-changing trends. As a licensed esthetician, I can provide remedies for most skin care concerns, including facial and body treatments, waxing and makeup. Having a background in the retail sales of cosmetics and skincare, I was fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to be educated in many different kinds of skincare and makeup. I am excited to meet new clients and create custom facial treatments, especially for those clients concerned with premature aging, skin brightening and teens with problem skin. I love to incorporate the many benefits of aromatherapy in my treatments, as well as pressure point massage and relaxing breathing techniques. I look forward to meeting you and customizing your very own facial treatment, or helping you find the best makeup to enhance your favorite features!
		Margarita Londono My name is Margarita Londono, I am a native from Columbia, South America. I migrated to New York in 1978 at the age of 10 where I lived for 18 years. I moved to Virginia in 1995 and I’m currently living in Gainesville with my two children. I attended Heritage Institute in Manassas, Virginia and graduated with an Associates degree in massage and body work. My inspiration for picking this career was my dad. Just before he died of cancer, he was lying in bed in pain and I felt helpless just watching him suffer and not being able to do anything. So I sat at the foot of his bed and reached for his feet and started giving him a massage. I could tell that he had never gotten any kind of massage in his life. At that moment, he started to relax and a feeling of relief and comfort filled his face. That’s when I realized what I wanted to do. I wanted to be able to help someone relieve some sort of physical or even emotional pain through the sense of healing touch. I was able to give my dad a little bit of love and compassion with my hands, and I felt joy among the sadness. This is why I’m here today, to provide my knowledge, expertise, and sensitivity to you, my client.

		Karen Thacker Hello, my name is Karen Thacker. Many years of experience have allowed me to acquire various areas of expertise and become well-rounded. The beauty industry has been my passion so I try to channel my energy in all areas of hairstyling.
		Connie Stebbins As a kid (7 years old) I had a girlfriend whose mother was a stylist. She did some hair at home and I would watch. Sometimes she would even let me help. My friend would get mad that I would rather do hair than play. I started working in a salon as a shampoo assistant when I was 13 and never stopped. I loved watching the stylists transform their clients. In high school I studied Cosmetology. The course took me 2 years to complete and Saturday mornings were a must. In 1987 I graduated top of my class and passed the State Board. That year I started working in a salon as a stylist. The salon catered to an older clientele which helped me learn a lot about roller sets! I got married and moved to Annandale, where I changed jobs. At my new location, I learned all about Asian hair. I also increased my speed and accuracy in hair cutting. We moved to Centreville in 1989 where I continued to improve my skills. Now I am a certified Framesi colorist and a Master Colorist with Wella. I love education and believe “you can never know too much”. To this day I still take classes to keep me up to date on the latest techniques and trends. I enjoy correcting hair color by using a variety of techniques. There’s nothing I can’t do to give you that perfect shade to make you look your best. For all the people with fine hair… I'm an expert.
