Hello there, my name is Janelle M. Wyndroski. With over 30 years in the beauty industry, let me tell you a little more about myself.

I am originally from south of Pittsburgh, PA, and attended The Pittsburgh Beauty Academy (1991) for their Electrolysis/Skincare & Make Up course. Loving the industry, a year later, I attended the Nail Technology/Art licensed program.

 

I enjoyed the beginning of the spa boom and was employed at one of the top 100 United States spas, doing electrolysis/thermolysis, waxing, facials, and all things nails. Invited to become an OPI educator, I received my certification in their business in 1996.

God's perfect plan allowed me to meet my husband (born on Cherry Point Marine base back when a hospital was there), and we married at the base of the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse in 2002. The story of my parents honeymooning there and yearly family vacations OBX-style had us yearning to eventually live nearby. We just adore North Carolina.

​

As medical spa facilities were then slowly starting up in the Pittsburgh area, I obtained a special Esthetics licensure from Douglas Education Center (home of Tom Savini's Make-Up Effects Program). While studying there, I was educated in advanced technology of skin treatments: the original dermabrasion and microdermabrasion, dermaplaning, chemical peels, advanced lymphatic drainage for the face, and much, much more. This prepared me for a career as a medical esthetician. I was employed at one of the first premier plastic surgery and medical centers, where Dr. S. Obagi's (yes, daughter to ZO) injectable patients were some of my clientele.

​

To be closer to watching my niece and nephew grow up, my husband and I moved to Maryland, a quaint little town called North East. I then decided to add LASER technology to my repertoire and have my advanced certification from The Institute of LASER Medicine (2012), Philadelphia.

​

I opened my own little spa in Maryland called Estuary Day Spa inside West Street Village. I thoroughly enjoyed owning a safe place where clients are the #1 focus as they walk through the door. Hosting local events and being able to cross-promote with other stores and businesses was extremely enjoyable. It was very exciting to be part of a community. I cherished that memory.

Fast forward a few years, and the kids had graduated high school, and my hubby and I had such a longing to live in NC... so here we are :)

​

Working for medical spas in New Bern has given me new modality modules and product knowledge that I am beyond grateful for being able to learn. I have also met many beautiful people/clients, inside and out. I very much missed the one-on-one focus I was used to giving at my own establishment. Finally taking the plunge to be a part of something more, I cannot thank Jessica at The Estheva Spa enough for hosting such a special place for me and my guests!
