Title: Arcadia Derio Smith, LE

Training: Traditional & Advanced Aesthetics

Practice Ethos: I believe that everyone with skin has the birthright to live well in it. This belief is what drives the standard, decency, and integrity which shapes my ethics; and is delivered in every session.

Why I do what I do: Because if everyone felt just a little better about themselves each day, I believe they would walk in that feeling each day making the world a much better place, even if that happens one session at a time.
