Julie

Julie has been the esthetician at Allure Designs since October 2016, so she is coming up on ten years with the salon. She trained at the Estelle Skin Care and Spa Institute. She says landing her job at Allure is the moment in her career she is proudest of.

Facials are her favorite work, especially when she can help a client choose the right products for their skin type. The tools she can't work without are her dermaplaning tool, the Glo2 facial machine and the HydraFacial machine. Right now she loves adding dermaplaning to any facial, and she loves the Glo2 facial in both the Express and the Timeless versions.

Every new client starts with a consultation about their routine. Julie asks which products you use in the morning and at night, and in what order. She asks what you love about your skin, what you want to correct, and whether you are open to a new routine.

If you would rather start with a facial, she suggests the Allure Deluxe Facial. It gives her time to work with your skin, customize the treatment and plan which facials should come next and how far apart to book them.

Julie wishes more people knew that retinols and skin scrubs are not right for everyone. Her best advice between visits is to use only the products made for your skin type. She is also done with painful extractions, so she only does them when they are needed and as gently as she can.

Outside of work, Julie enjoys spending time with her daughter and family, camping, walking her dog and her cat, and relaxing with a good series. She plays R&B while she works.

Whichever facial you book, Julie wants it to feel calm and pampering, and she wants you to leave knowing more about your skin.
