Kiki's Beauty Service
I received my Associates in Cosmetology at Kirtland Community College in Roscommon in 2018 and later pursued further education to earn my Esthetician certification at Kirtland's Grayling location in 2020. While I have a deep love for working with hair, skincare is where my true passion lies, and it is this area that I will be focusing on exclusively in my practice! Among the various services I will be offering, facials are my absolute favorite; the transformative experience they provide never ceases to amaze me. Additionally, my service menu will include Back Treatments, Body Wraps, Manicures, Pedicures, and Facial Waxing, all designed to enhance your natural beauty and well-being. It brings me immense joy to create an atmosphere where clients can experience relaxation and rejuvenation while I help them unwind. One review that stands out to me came from a client who had been navigating the difficult journey of grief following the loss of her father. She shared, "I’ve been having a really hard time for months now, and I feel like you just helped wash away all that extra stress." Knowing that I could bring some comfort during a challenging time is what makes my work so fulfilling.
