After graduating from the aesthetics Academy in Hawaii six years ago, Lola wasted no time in following her dreams. She promptly opened a day spa in Wahiawa, Hawaii, which has since been steadily thriving. Grateful for the opportunities to work and collaborate, she recently launched her own skincare line, Cell Matrix Renewal, which has been widely embraced by clients at her spa.
Now, Lola is combining her love for skincare with her passion for education by seizing the chance to join the Skin Games this year as a distinguished judge for the waxing panel at the Las Vegas aesthetics convention. Reflecting on her journey, she believes the aesthetics industry is brimming with excitement and remarkable opportunities.
