My background includes owning and managing a successful business, along with hands-on experience in aesthetics, where I’ve helped clients feel confident and cared for.

Kendall Good

Master Aesthetician

Hi, I’m Kendall Good. I’m a Master Aesthetician, Certified Laser Technician, and licensed Cosmetologist. I’m passionate about helping people feel confident and beautiful in their own skin. With a focus on facial aesthetics and body contouring, I love blending science and self-care to create results that truly make a difference.

To me, skincare should be more than just a routine. It should be empowering, relaxing, and completely tailored to you. I’m all about providing well-rounded care and making sure you feel supported every step of the way.

My go-to skincare line is ZO Skin Health. It delivers real results and I’m obsessed. Let’s make skincare your favorite part of the day.
