In 2012 I went to Beauty School (shout out to Baldwin Beauty School in Austin, Texas) and that same year after I graduated, rented a small office in Westlake. During that time I became a mad scientist in my treatment room, creating protocols for clients, researching products and ingredients. I would stay so late at the office sometimes I watched the sun rise through my window. On those mornings, I would try to leave before anyone saw me. I was sure people would think I was on drugs or worse as I did my walk of shame to my car in yesterday's clothes. It was hard for me to stop until I felt I knew enough to be a good aesthetician. When I needed help I called my aesthetician instructor (still good friends and grateful for her to this day) Chelsea and she would help me make sense of whatever my question I had. I really care about my clients. It was almost an obsession.

By the time 2017 rolled around I was proficient in the treatment room and was looking for ways to help my clients even more. When you're an aesthetician, home care is something that gets over looked sometimes. Clients don't always want to take the time to do a 12 step routine, don't know when to push their skin and when  treat it gently. I would go over the professional products that I used and sold in my spa, but they were complicated. They were created for aestheticians. They had 10 cleansers, 25 serums and even more moisturizers and speciality products. I understood how it could be overwhelming for people, even with me telling them exactly what to use.

One day a client came in for her monthly facial. She was a busy CEO who ran companies and was on a plane as much as she was in her office. I asked her as I always do before I get started, "How's your skin?" She said, I don't know. You tell me. It was then that I realized that people who were not aestheticians needed a way to know what to use and how to use it. They did not want to research a bunch of skin care lines to find their hero products. They wanted to know just what they needed, how to use it and for the process to be as uncomplicated as possible. And so I discovered the problem to solve...

Fast forward to today, 5 Circle has 38 products including tools and merch. Each product has been developed with my busy mom, ceo, and everything in beween clients in mind. The system I developed delete skin care products that I believe are unnecessary, like toners and eye cream, and deliver the best results with the fewest bottles possible. It's all about YOUR skin, that will determine your lineup (my word for the selection of products that you use).  

You can't get to a destination if you don't know where you're going, So I ask my clients and customers to determine their skin care goals. It may be acne, hyperpigmentation and sun damage, loss of firmness, lines and wrinkles, redness or rosacea, with 5 Circle there is a line up to improve your skin condition. But first we have to determine what that is. It can't be everything and we don't believe in "for all skin types." 

I believe in your skin type, because I've most likely seen it in the treatment room where I've performed thousands of hours of facials. I know I can help people achieve the best skin of their lives. It's my mission and I'm grateful that you're here so I can show you how healthy your skin can be.
