Yana A. - Owner / Lead Esthetician

Hi, I’m Yana!  As a young girl, I was always interested in skin care, even though I didn’t understand the benefits at the time. Having suffered from severe acne as a teen, healthy skin was always on my mind and I knew it was my calling.

When I was learning to treat my skin healthfully, I remember feeling a lack of empathy during my facials but most importantly, a lack of esthetician-to-client education. I've dedicated my life to researching skin chemistry on a cellular level, so that I can give you the most efficient, LONG TERM results, healing your skin from inside out. In 2014, my skills and expertise came together and I was able to create
my dream: YA Skin Studio.

I have been a Member of Associated Skin Care Professionals since 2015, and some of my accolades include: DMK Paramedical Therapist of the Year (2021), and Former Nationwide Esthetic Educator (2015-2019).

Jackie I. - Esthetician

I’m Jackie, im licenced esthetician. I have 5 years experience as an esthetician in 5-star luxury spas.Since I was a little girl, my obsession has been skin!

As I got older, I knew this was what I was meant to do. Not only did I want to improve my own skin, but educating people and getting them excited about the journey of skin transformation is what I am here for.

In my free time, I love to travel, salsa dance, eat good food, and meet new people!

Katheryn S. - Administrative Assistant

My name is Katheryn and I’m excited to help you achieve the glowing skin of your dreams. As a film actor, I understand how important keeping yourself healthy and refreshed, looking your best, is a necessity.

Taking care of your skin plays a part in that, much more than people realize. In my spare time, you’ll find me on set, writing scripts, in the gym, reading or cuddling with my cat and chinchilla.

I love staying active, so let me know your top hiking recommendations!

Hi, I’m Kristina! As the social media manager.

I love capturing all the beautiful, funny, and interesting moments to share with our amazing community. One of my favorite parts is how much I learned about skincare and health since working at YA Skin Studio.

Fun Fact: recently discovered my passion for painting and now I love expressing my creativity on canvas as well.
