Hi, I’m

Abbey Smeester

Pensacola,FL

Summary


Licensed esthetician with a passion rooted in personal experience, dedicated to helping others feel confident in their skin. My journey began with healing my skin through research and commitment, which sparked an unexpected love for skincare. I trained at the Cassady Academy with a strong emphasis on hands-on experience - facials, massage techniques, skin consultations, lash/brow services, product knowledge, and client care. I specialize in creating calming, results-driven experiences tailored to individual skin needs, and I strive to make each client feel valued, educated, and given long-term confidence. I'm seeking a positive, growth-minded team that prioritizes kindness, learning, and excellence.
