about haylee
Hi, I’m Haylee — an Advanced Practice Esthetician and the owner of SKIN by Haylee.
My journey into skincare began in a very personal way. I’ve struggled with redness and sensitivity for most of my life, and for a long time, it made me feel insecure and frustrated with my skin. I knew what it felt like to want clearer, calmer skin — but not always know where to start. That experience is what first sparked my passion for esthetics.
Once I began esthetics school, I quickly realized skincare was so much more than products and treatments. It was about confidence, education, and helping people feel comfortable in their own skin again.
I began my esthetics education at Aveda Institute in Minneapolis, where I completed my Basic Esthetics program and graduated in 2024. Shortly after, I started working at European Wax Center to gain hands-on experience and get my foot in the door of the industry.
While I truly enjoyed waxing and the guest connections I built, I felt a stronger pull toward skincare and corrective treatments. I knew I wanted to do more than surface-level services — I wanted to help guests understand their skin and feel confident caring for it long-term.
That passion led me back to school in 2025, this time in my hometown of Rochester, Minnesota, where I pursued my Advanced Practice Esthetics license. Returning home for my advanced education felt full-circle and solidified my desire to build something meaningful within my own community.
My education & path
As I continued to grow in my education and experience, I realized I wanted to create something different — something more personal.
Going solo allows me to fully customize every treatment, take the time to truly understand each guest’s skin, and create an experience that feels calm, intentional, and completely tailored. I wanted the freedom to treat every face as unique — because it is.
I also wanted to build deeper relationships with my guests and be part of their long-term skincare journey, not just a single appointment.
why i chose to go solo
I believe skincare should be:
Personalized, never one-size-fits-all
Focused on long-term skin health
Results-driven while still relaxing
Educational, not overwhelming
Whether you’re new to skincare or working through specific concerns, my goal is to meet you where you are and guide you with honesty, care, and intention.
my treatment philosophy
I especially love working with guests who:
Have corrective skincare needs such as aging, acne, sensitivity, hyperpigmentation, or other skin concerns
Feel overwhelmed or unsure about skincare
Want real results without pressure or judgment
Are looking for a safe, calm, and supportive space
If you’ve ever felt unsure about your skin, I understand — and you are exactly who I created this space for.
who i love to work with
When you visit my treatment room, you can expect:
A warm, welcoming environment
A thorough skin consultation
Fully customized treatments
Honest recommendations
A calm, private experience focused entirely on you
No rushed appointments. No judgment. Just care, intention, and real results.
what you can expect
Outside of the treatment room, I love continuing to learn, grow, and expand my knowledge in skincare. Education is something I truly value — both for myself and for my guests — because I believe confidence begins with understanding your skin.
When I’m not working, you can usually find me spending time with friends and family, enjoying the outdoors, and soaking up every moment with my dog, Biggie — who truly has my heart and keeps life full of joy.
