MEET THE OWNER
RACHAEL BONGALOS
Rachael Bongalos is a Licensed Esthetician since 2018 and owner of Aemend Skin LLC since 2021.
She discovered her interests in skin and beauty during her teens. Formerly in a Human Resources career, her passion stemmed from makeup artistry and through that creativity, found her love for skincare. She knew she wanted a career where she could help people but, didn't quite know how until she was introduced into the aesthetics industry.
After her own experiences with acne and reactive skin, it ignited her sense of purpose to give back to others who need guidance in their skin (and beauty care) journey. ​
Rachael is an expert on helping others wean off harsh acne medication and transition into a doable, healthier skincare lifestyle. She believes all skin condition(s) and ages can be treatable and controlled. Rachael's treatment approach is to view your lifestyle and symptoms as a whole & work one-on-one with you to educate and guide you on how to incorporate better skincare into your daily habits. Her mission is to showcase that skincare can be available for anyone and everyone & to transform as many lives as possible. With Rachael's guidance, you can expect to look and feel the best version of yourself in no time.
