My Approach
What sets me apart
Whether you’re battling acne, struggling with sensitivity, or just trying to feel good in your skin again—I’m here to help, with expertise, empathy, and maybe a little tough love when needed.
My commitment:
At Strong Esthetics, every facial is a customized treatment, not a cookie cutter protocol. I take the time to assess your skin's unique needs at every visit, adjusting techniques, products, and methods to create real, lasting change. Your treatment plan is tailored to meet your goals, not just for today, but for the long haul! Great skin isn't just a one-time event - it's a strategy.
CORRECTIVE FACIALS:
For clients focused on aging, discoloration, textural concerns, reactivity, or simply maintaining a healthy glow, I design each treatment around your skin's unique needs. By combining targeted techniques with a custom tailored at-home skincare regimen, we can repair damage or address concerns before they become problems. Your skin is one of a kind, and your facial treatments should be too!
ACNE MANAGEMENT:
Acne Bootcamp is designed to break the cycle of breakouts through targeted, intensive treatments, expert coaching, and a customized homecare routine. But clearing your skin of acne is just the beginning - keeping your skin clear is the true victory! Acne is a chronic condition, meaning it cannot be cured - it can only be managed. With the right strategy it can absolutely be controlled long term and even permanently!

Returning facial clients may choose this 60min classic facial to keep your complexion in top shape once you've achieved your skin goals, or if you simply prefer a quicker, fuss-free treatment.

REVIEWS
Real stories. Real skin. Real Results.
Every review is a reminder of why I do what I do - changing skin and changing lives, one face at a time.
I had my first facial with Dana yesterday. I am so happy I went. I learned some new information and confirmed some of my previous knowledge. My skin is very happy and I look forward to future appointments.
Deborah M.
I had an incredible experience with Dana! She went above and beyond to address all of my skincare concerns, especially regarding my acne. Not only did she patiently answer every question I had, but she also provided me with a wealth of information on how to properly care for my skin. Dana recommended some amazing new products that have already made a noticeable difference. I truly appreciated her personalized approach and genuine care throughout the entire session. If you’re looking for an aesthetician who is knowledgeable, attentive, and truly invested in your skincare journey, I highly recommend Dana!
Sasha T.
Having had many mediocre experiences with esthetics previously, I was very impressed by Dana's knowledge and passion even before getting services from her. She offered wonderful, personalized services every time and catered each facial to what my current concerns were. I left glowing each and every time. She made product recommendations for me based on my goals and needs and I always saw results. I haven't found another like her!
Heidi Z.
I had an exceptional facial with Dana. She is beyond professional and knowledgeable, and pays strong attention to detail. Her passion for skincare literally shines through her work.
Seriously, I can't stop looking at my glowing skin in the mirror!
Can’t wait for my next appointment.

FAQ's
How do I know which facial to book?
Your first facial with Strong Esthetics will be either The Acne Bootcamp Assessment (if your main concern is acne) or The Strong Start Facial (if acne is not a concern). It's as easy as that! I'll take the reins from there and guide you every step of the way.
What should I do to prepare for my appointment?
Once you've scheduled your first service, you'll be sent a specific online intake form to fill out. At your first visit, we'll go over your answers and address any questions or concerns. Be sure to fill the intake form out thoughtfully and completely to ensure the best experience.
What if I'm wearing makeup on the day of my service?
If at all possible, arriving makeup-free will ensure the most time devoted to your specific treatment. But if you're arriving straight from work or other social event with makeup on - no worries! Makeup removal will be included in your treatment.
What do I do if I accidentally become sun or wind burnt, or my facial skin is feeling unusually sensitive before my appointment?
If you are feeling unusually sensitive or your skin becomes compromised before your session, please text me at (708) 314-1699, and send photos if possible. It may be necessary to reschedule your session.
What if I develop a cold sore or a stye before my appointment?
If you have an active cold sore, stye, or any other type of active skin infection, your treatment will need to be rescheduled.
