About Jess

Hello, I am Jess, the heart and soul behind Salt + Honey. With over 15 years of enriching experience in the realm of esthetics and cosmetology, my journey has meandered through the bustling spas along the vibrant West Coast, bestowing upon me the wisdom to understand and nurture all skin types and conditions.

The core of my practice is holistic and results-driven, aiming to harmonize the mind, body, and skin to unveil your innate radiance. My enduring goal is to nurture a bond between you and your skin, igniting a sense of love and confidence every time you behold your reflection.

My roots trace back to a quaint city in Northern Minnesota. My voyage into the world of beauty commenced at the esteemed Aveda Institute in Minneapolis, where I delved into the art of esthetics. The quest for mastery led me to Paul Mitchell, where I honed my skills in cosmetology.

Now nestled in the picturesque Long Beach, CA, I am blessed with a bustling household filled with the laughter of my two beautiful toddlers and the playful antics of our two cherished dogs. The haven of Salt + Honey is my dream woven into reality—a sanctuary where your skin is listened to, understood, and tenderly cared for.

As a fervent believer in perpetual learning, I eagerly embrace every opportunity to explore new services and evolve with the modern advancements in skincare technology. This ethos keeps me on the cutting edge of treatments, ensuring you receive nothing but the pinnacle of skincare services.

When the day's work gently bows out to leisure, you'll find me intertwined with the serenity of yoga, basking in the embrace of the outdoors, or reveling in joyful family bike rides. Paddle boarding across tranquil waters and soaking up the sun on beach days are my simple yet profound joys.

I am here to guide you, educate you, and celebrate the beautiful journey of skincare with you. Together, let's create a plan to tenderly guide your skin to the zenith of its potential. I am wholeheartedly here for all your skincare endeavors.
