Grounding Glow
I’m Kristal, your dedicated Facialist. With a background rooted in beauty and healthcare, I proudly hold a license as a Medical Esthetician, specializing in sensitive and multicultural skin. My journey began over 12 years ago as a Medical Assistant, where I collaborated with plastic surgeons, dermatologists, and various healthcare providers before earning my Esthetician license.
Throughout my extensive career, I recognized a significant gap in esthetics education: the importance of understanding multicultural skin, a subject often overlooked in formal training. This realization fueled my passion to learn more, leading me to seek mentorship from industry leaders. I am incredibly grateful to my mentor JoElle Lee, a renowned figure in the esthetics world and the esteemed esthetician to First Lady Michelle Obama. Through her Advanced Esthetics Training Program, I gained the expertise necessary to provide exceptional care tailored to multicultural skin.
Additionally, I was determined to explore ways to help others age gracefully and cultivate inner confidence. My curiosity was piqued while working alongside an incredible plastic surgeon who specialized in facelifts. I became fascinated with how gently manipulating the facial muscles could restructure the entire face and contribute to a more youthful appearance. My quest was to discover methods to achieve these effects without resorting to surgery or needles.
In a fortunate twist of fate, my path led me to Katya Young—the Katya Young, known for going viral with her remarkable Buccal Facial Massage techniques. As she rose to prominence as a sought-after facialist in NYC, I had the incredible opportunity to train directly under her, working at her Long Island location in Merrick, which now serves as the official home of Grounding Glow.
At Grounding Glow, we are excited to welcome both our long-time clients and newcomers seeking restorative and effective treatments. Whether you’re looking to indulge in a buccal facial for relaxation, relieve tension from teeth grinding or clenching due to stress and TMJ, or simply enjoy a moment of self-care, we’re here to provide an exceptional experience without the need to travel far.
