Hi! I’m Mikayla! I attended Avalon School of Cosmetology for aesthetics and earned my laser certification from Penrose Academy. My favorite treatments are definitely Moxi Laser and Micro needling because they’re both results driven and highly efficient. Outside of work, I’m passionate about staying active through exercise and I’m a huge dog lover!
