Faye wanted to continue to work one on one with people, and create a bond with each individual, which is why she chose to become an Esthetician. She decided to change careers in her 30s because she started to see early signs of aging herself. As she did the research for correcting these signs, that is when she decided "this is my new career". Faye enjoys the Medical Skin Care industry because she loves to see the end result in anti aging, pigment control and over all correcting treatments.
