Aesthetician

Megan is a recent graduate of the Artistic Nail and Beauty Academy here in Lakeland.  She joined the Bella team as a receptionist.  She has traveled the world as a military brat. Megan was Jeanna’s neighbor years ago.  She has always loved all things skincare.  She and her parents came to Lakeland for vacation in 2015 while her dad was on leave. We brought them to the spa to see what we were going to be doing. That visit is what inspired Megan to become an esthetician.  We kinda had to hire her. Megan is a proud mother to Harrison.
