Creative Spirit
A hands-on learner, with a creative spirit, Shannon’s path into the beauty industry was shaped by her own struggles with oily, acne-prone skin. That experience sparked her curiosity and lit a fire to learn how to heal – not just for herself, but for others walking the same path. She’s fueled daily by her beloved cats and inspired by one of her earliest mentors, Julie, whose kindness and encouragement helped her feel at home in the industry.
Clients describe Shannon as helpful, genuine, and quietly funny – a little shy at first, but quickly revealing a warm, down-to-earth personality. When she’s not in the treatment room, you might find her enjoying all things coffee or pursuing her love of photography.
