My name is Aalyssa, also know as ‘The Melanated Esthi’. I am a professionally licensed esthetician, completing my courses in October of 2022 at Empire Beauty School & officially becoming licensed by the state of RI in November of 2022. With esthetics being a large industry with plenty of services being provided, I decided to focus my main areas of study as, a skin specialist (specializing in skin of color), & a hair removal specialist. I also pride myself on being an advocate for educating the community about the importance of good skin health and hygiene! I’m proud to be one of the newest young women of color to lead in professional skincare in RI.
