Growing up, Cassidy always had a passion for makeup and anything beauty-related. Even if it meant getting dressed up and putting makeup on her father or doing her grandfather's nails (which they definitely enjoyed). Over the years that passion turned into a reality, as a recent graduate of Empire Beauty School Cassidy looks forward to sharing her love of nails, custom skincare, and brow shaping with her clients. Cassidy always wanted to learn more and grow with her esthetics skills making her clients always feel special.

Shanel Libby

Over the years Shanel always knew she wanted to work in a field that she could help people feel good about themselves. She tried various paths and none of them seemed to fit exactly what she was trying to achieve. It all happened out of nowhere, one of those moments when you just know what you need to do. She was getting a facial one evening (by Kassie) and in that moment knew she needed to learn all she could about the world of esthetics. Shortly after this, she enrolled in esthetics school. Shanel looks forward to providing her clients with various facial treatments, hair removal and lash lifts. She now knows where her skill set lies and wants to make everyone feel their best one service at a time. When she’s not in a treatment room you can find her either trying out a new baking recipe or hiking the trails of New Hampshire.

Rae Beth always knew that she enjoyed helping people. When she was first introduced to Reiki, over 10 years ago, she didn’t know how much it was going to impact her. After having many sessions on herself, she felt intrigued to learn more on her own and began her certifications. She became Reiki I and Reiki II Certified in June of 2021. While she realized that there were so many benefits for herself, she wanted to share in the energy exchange for others to better themselves. Rae Beth looks forward to sharing energy healing with her clients.
