Jo Lawrence
Esthetician / Massage Therapist
My name is Jo, and I am the newest full Spectrum Spa Specialist at Strands Spa. My Background I spent half of my childhood overseas (yes, I’m a military brat) until my dad retired and we moved to Winfield, Mo. I graduated from high school and, in 2006, attended and graduated from Sanford Brown College for Massage Therapy. For the next 10 years I performed various massage modalities at an extremely busy West County area spa, working alongside some of the most knowledgeable estheticians…and that’s when I fell in love with the ever-changing world of Esthetics! In 2016, I went back to school for my esthetic license. I shadowed one of the area’s leading estheticians after my graduation where I learned first hand how to treat different skin types and recommend the best home skin care products. I also taught at The Salon Professional Academy – a nationwide beauty school franchise in St. Charles – where I utilized my 15 years of industry experience. I liked teaching, but I really missed working with clients in a hands-on environment. My Experience I specialize in a variety of services including: Skin care treatment – Full body waxing (soft or hard) chemical peels, henna brows and foot scrubs. Skin wellness – Facials, lash lift and tint, and dermaplaning. Massages – Swedish, prenatal, sports, hot stones, deep tissue, and reflexology. My Goal I want my clients to walk through the doors at Strands, stop for a moment, and take a deep breath. It's really the most perfect place to enjoy a relaxing setting and step away from your busy life. I place the utmost importance on your well being and, when you leave, I guarantee you will have achieved the best skin care and body results that can be provided. My World When I’m not working, I focus on my three F’s: family, fur babies, and friends. I also love to hike, dance, go to concerts, and travel.
