Licensed Esthetician La Mesa, CA
Your skin has been waiting for
the right person.
You've tried the products. You've booked the facials. Maybe you've had people work on your skin who meant well but didn't really get it. Melanin-rich skin is not a footnote. It is not an afterthought. And it deserves a specialist who treats it that way.
Your chair is here. Let's get to work.
Black-Owned. Queer-Owned. Woman-Owned.
Melanin-rich skin is my specialty
What i do here.
I'm not here to slap a random product on your face and call it a facial. Every brand I bring into my treatment room has been handpicked—because it aligns with how I treat skin, How I care for my clients, and what I believe skincare should feel like.
I’m proud to be working with professional, results-driven brands like Circadia, Glymed+, Mermaid Wax, and Fur. Each one chosen with intention, education, and real skin in mind. No fluff. No filler. Just quality products that support the skin and respect the barrier.
Corrective Facials
Fully customized, results-driven treatments designed to correct what needs correcting without wrecking your skin barrier. Specializing in melanin-rich skin, hyperpigmentation, acne, and barrier repair.
Skin-First Hair Removal
Brazilian vajacials, brow sculpting, and full body waxing performed with professional grade products chosen specifically for your skin's health before, during, and after hair removal.
How I actually think about your skin.
This is not a one-size-fits-all situation.
Melanin-rich skin responds differently. To heat, to inflammation, to aggressive exfoliation. I treat it accordingly. Barrier support before intensity. Inflammation control before resurfacing. Always.
Corrective, not cosmetic. A temporary glow is easy. Real change takes strategy, consistency, and the right products. That's what we're building here.
Your homecare is part of the treatment. I'll tell you exactly what to use at home because what you do between appointments matters just as much as what we do in the room.
Every product has a reason for being here. I researched everything in my treatment room before I ever used it on a client. No fluff. No filler. Just quality products that respect the skin.
Circadia
Corrective facial treatments built around circadian rhythm science. Daytime protection, nighttime repair.
What I use and why it matters.
GlyMed+
Professional strength clinical formulas targeting acne, hyperpigmentation, texture, and aging.
Mermaid Wax
Super-elastic, hypoallergenic hard wax. Fewer passes, less trauma, better results.
Sweet & True Botanicals
Post-wax skin health formulated specifically for the bikini area. Soothing, corrective, and barrier-repairing.
Celluma LED Light Therapy
FDA-cleared, medical-grade LED technology that works at a cellular level to reduce inflammation, stimulate collagen production, and support healing. Red light for aging and barrier support. Blue light for acne and bacteria. No downtime.
Don't take my word for it.

“I got a facial from Lexi and it was amazing! I noticed results instantly, my skin felt refreshed, glowing, and so clean. She’s incredibly kind and you can tell she’s truly passionate about what she does. She took the time to really get to know my skin concerns, the products I use, and even customized everything specifically for me. It made me feel so valued and heard. I couldn’t recommend her more!”

"Truly a wonderful experience! Getting a facial or any service for that matter from Lexi is simply fantastic! She makes you feel comfortable from the first conversation about your skin to the second you leave your appointment. Lexi customizes every part of her service to your skin, your wants, and your needs. Yet she doesn’t just customize it, she explains the purpose and benefits of the items she uses. While then providing product recommendations to continue your Skin Care regimen moving forward. For a busy mom like myself, it is truly the highlight of my day every time I go! It’s beyond relaxing, and leaving with radiant skin is simply a bonus! Don’t hesitate to book a service with Lexi, I can guarantee you won’t regret it!”

Your skin is ready. Are you?
Book your first appointment and let's figure out exactly what your skin needs.
Quick answers before you book.

I'll ask you a lot of questions before we even start. Your skin history, what you've been using at home, what your concerns are, what your goals are. I assess your skin that day and customize everything from there. Nothing is cookie cutter. You'll leave with a clear sense of what your skin needs and what we're working toward together.

Yes. I carry professional grade retail products in studio because homecare is a huge part of getting real results. I work with Circadia and GlyMed+ for skincare and Sweet & True Botanicals for post-wax aftercare. I also carry authentic African net sponges for body exfoliation. I'll never push you to buy anything but I will tell you honestly what I think your skin needs and why.

Everyone is welcome here. My specialty is melanin-rich skin but I treat all skin types, all backgrounds, and all gender identities. If you want someone who is going to take your skin seriously and actually guide you toward real results, you're in the right place.
My Brazilian services are currently designed for individuals with female anatomy.

Yes, genuinely. It's not a marketing line. Melanin-rich skin responds differently to treatment and most esthetic education doesn't cover it properly. I made it a point to learn it, specialize in it, and build my entire approach around it. If you've had estheticians work on your skin before who didn't understand how it behaves, that changes here.
