Love Your Skin Aesthetics, LLC
Sunday, February 5, 2017

Raised and living in the lakeshore area all her life, Nichol Kahlenberg is a state licensed skin therapist, registered nurse and holds a bachelor's degree in psychology and human development.
Skincare has always been a passion of hers, dating back to her early teen years with the constant struggle of changes throughout not only her life, but now of her family's as well.

Skincare is personal. Everyone has different problems that need to be addressed with custom solutions, specific to the individual.
