Aesthetician

An aesthetician at our Greenwich location, Brittany Sheldon grew up in Eastchester, NY, before completing the intensive program at Make Up For Ever Academy in New York City, becoming certified in Advanced Professional Makeup Application, Beauty & Fashion Techniques. She worked in the beauty and fashion industry as a makeup and brow specialist, growing to understand the true importance of “skin preparation” and the effect it had on the individual, prior to a makeup application. This led her to the Christine Valmy International School for Esthetics, where she graduated with honors and earned dual licensure in New York and Connecticut.

In addition to being a Licensed Esthetician for more than three years, Brittany has continued to expand her professional knowledge and skillset. She has obtained multiple certifications in advanced aesthetics, including chemical peels, advanced microdermabrasion, HydraFacial MD, laser hair reduction and facial/body lymphatic drainage. With her wide-ranging understanding of today’s most effective treatments, she particularly likes to provide Diamond Glow Facials. This three-in-one customizable facial treatment helps to target all skin concerns by extracting, exfoliating and infusing the skin with conditioned-specific serums, making it an ideal option for clients who suffer from congestion, and want to help to minimize the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and acne. Outside the treatment room, Brittany enjoys traveling to Aruba and Las Vegas, but during summer, you may find her volunteering at a community center and working with children.
