About
Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here! My name is Shelby Porter, and I’m a passionate Des Moines based Esthetician, with 3 years of experience in helping clients feel their best. I specialize in customized facial treatments, waxing, lash lifts, and brow laminations, and I love creating a personalized experience to meet each clients unique needs. I graduated from the Aveda Institute in West Des Moines in 2020, yes, during the pandemic. It was a challenging but rewarding time, and I’ve since honed my craft and expanded my expertise. I’m trained in premium product lines like Glymed+, Intelligent Elixirs, NuFree Wax, and InLei Lash & Brow products, all of which I use to enhance your results and ensure the highest level of care. Having worked in different spa environments for nearly 3 years, I’ve deepened my understanding of skin health, conditions, and product ingredients. This knowledge allows me to deliver tailored treatments that help you achieve your goals while ensuring your skin is always well-cared for. Above all, I believe in the power of building trusting, authentic relationships with my clients. My goal is to not only meet your beauty goals, but also to foster a deeper connection with yourself, so you can truly feel your best. Whether it’s a facial, brow shaping, or lash lift, I’m here to help! Let’s connect and start your journey to glowing, healthy skin!
