aesthetician
Larissa
My name is Larissa Gutierrez I am born and raised in the Coachella valley. I grew up with struggles of dealing with blemished skin (acne). I explored many avenues, with little to no success. Quickly there after, the passion for skin correction was born. After accepting a full time position at the JW resort & spa as a concierge, I started gravitating towards the spa shop where you could find and learn about skin care products. My fascination with skin care grew more.
Years later, I found myself attending International School of Beauty. Having blemished skin was the driving factor in the motivation to learn, grow, and correct skin conditions. I Graduated from International School of Beauty in 2020. Since then, I have taken a variety of skin care courses to stay up to date in the growing spa industry. My experience has been in private and exclusive clubs in the Coachella Valley. In my personal time, I enjoy spending quality time with my fiancé and two gorgeous children.
