A Little More About Me + What I Do ✨
Hi again, I’m Megan Bierman — your go-to licensed esthetician and permanent makeup artist here to help you feel confident, refreshed, and naturally you.
I officially began my journey in esthetics after graduating from esthetics school in March of 2023, and since then, I’ve had the opportunity to work in both med spas and traditional spa settings. That experience gave me a strong foundation and helped me dive deeper into skin health, beauty techniques, and the client experience. I’ve been continuing my education ever since and am constantly looking for new ways to grow and bring the very best to my clients.
In May of 2025, I took the leap and became a licensed Permanent Makeup Artist — now offering specialized PMU services for brows and lips. Whether you’re looking for more definition, color, or a longer-lasting makeup solution, I absolutely LOVE creating natural-looking results that bring out your features and make your morning routine that much easier. 💋✨
My esthetics services also include full-body waxing (yep, Brazilians too!), customized facials for all skin types, and lash & brow enhancements like brow lamination, brow tinting, and lash lifts + tints. These are some of my favorite treatments to do — because the little things really do make a big difference in how you feel walking out the door.
I’m super passionate about continuing education and certifications — because I believe that staying up-to-date in this ever-evolving industry is key to offering safe, high-quality results. I’m always learning and can’t wait to keep expanding my service list with more treatments that help you feel confident, beautiful, and well taken care of.
Thanks for being here and trusting me with your face, your skin, and your time. I’m so excited to keep growing and glowing with all of you! 🌿💛

⭐ “My brows and lips turned out beautifully—exactly what I wanted.”
⭐ “She’s professional, thorough, and easy to talk to.”
⭐ “The whole experience was smooth from start to finish.”

In addition to her permanent makeup work, Megan also offers customized facials and waxing services, giving clients a full range of options to refine and enhance their features. Her work speaks for itself—and clients are noticing.

✨ From Crystal ✨

If you’re looking for someone solid for injections — Melissa is it. She’s the one I personally trust for my Jeuveau (forehead + 11s), and her results are consistently flawless. She’s reliable, precise, and takes her time to get it right every single time.

Melissa brings over 12 years of nursing experience and advanced training in cosmetic injections to The Skin Refinery. She has a calm, confident presence that immediately puts clients at ease, and she pairs clinical expertise with a natural, refined aesthetic eye.

Here’s what I hear from clients over and over:
⭐ “She explained everything so clearly.”
⭐ “I felt completely comfortable the entire time.”
⭐ “My results look natural — exactly what I wanted.”
⭐ “She’s knowledgeable, approachable, and thorough.”

I send my own clients to her without hesitation, because I know the level of care and detail she brings to every appointment. If you’ve been curious about injections or looking for someone you can trust, Melissa is the one.

✨ Hello everyone! Madison here, and I wanted to take a little time to share more about my background and what I do ✨

I graduated massage therapy school in January 2023 and officially became a Licensed Massage Therapist March of 2023! But I wasn’t done yet! In August of 2023, I started at The Royal School of Esthetics and graduated in December, becoming a Licensed Esthetician in January 2024. Being dual-licensed has been such a blessing—every day is different, and I love being able to offer such a variety of services! The industry keeps growing, and I can’t wait to continue learning and adding even more treatments💆🏼‍♀️🌿

Here’s a peek at what I currently offer:
Massage Services: Custom massages, Swedish, hot stone, prenatal, and I’m perfecting my deep tissue work!
Esthetic Services: Custom facials, microdermabrasion, back facials, scalp massage, and body treatments!

Every service is customized to fit your needs and wants. 💛
I’d love to hear from you—what services would you be excited to see me bring in next?

✨️ From Crystal ✨️

I want to take a moment to spotlight Madison. As the owner, I hear client feedback constantly—and when it comes to her, the reviews are nothing short of glowing. Madison is both a licensed esthetician and massage therapist, offering customized facials, personalized skin care treatments, and relaxing, client-focused massage.

Here’s what I hear on repeat:
⭐ “Hands of gold.”
⭐ “The best massage I’ve ever had.”
⭐ “My skin looks amazing.”
⭐ “I haven’t felt this relaxed in months.”

Let’s start there.

Madison didn’t ask for recognition—she earned it. That’s why I stand behind her without hesitation. Her work delivers every time: visible results, true relaxation, and the kind of treatments clients can’t stop talking about.

She has openings this month, and if you’ve been waiting for a sign to book with her—this is it.

📞 Call 618-881-0055 before those spots are gone.
