Dannielle Young
Medical esthetician, more than twenty years in the industry, and the only person who will ever treat you here.
How I got here
I was lucky enough to be born and raised in Smithers. I closed that chapter recently and relocated to Kamloops to follow my dreams and be closer to my retired parents, and I absolutely love the lifestyle here.
Right out of high school I went to Kelowna to follow my passion and become an esthetician. I have always been obsessed with skincare, and after nearly two decades travelling the world and working in a range of spa environments, from private yachts to high end nail bars, that hands on experience is what lets me deliver the quality of work I want to. I am all about advanced facial treatments that produce real, tangible results.
Why I care about this as much as I do
From the age of thirteen onward I struggled with severe acne. I tried everything: antibiotics, creams, birth control, even Accutane three times. You name it, I have tried it.
That is really what propelled me into wanting to know everything I could about the connection between beauty and wellness, and about the vulnerability that sits underneath most people’s quest to feel good about how they look. Imagine going through something like severe acne, or a burn, and being left with the reminder of it for the rest of your life. The reminder can be more debilitating than the condition itself.
So when you sit down with me, I am not going to talk over your head or hand you a course of treatments and send you home. I would rather explain what is actually happening in your skin, and why, so that whatever you decide to do next is a decision you made with the full picture.
I offer a collaborative and holistic approach to beauty and skincare.

What I keep on the shelf
I carry three lines, and only three. AnteAGE for growth factor based repair, which is what I reach for when skin needs rebuilding rather than stripping. Timeless Tallow and Truly for simple, nourishing home care that does not fight the skin barrier.
I would far rather send you home with two things you will genuinely use every day than a shelf of products that sit in a drawer. If what you already own is working, I will tell you that too.
See the treatmentsOutside the studio
Long walks, biking, spinning, hiking, snowboarding, snowshoeing and yoga. Podcasts, books and music. Cooking, growing food, organizing things, documentaries and a fair amount of reality television. Time with my parents and my friends. And, inevitably, reading about skincare, which stopped being work a long time ago.
