Meet Our Founder, Stephie

Owner, L.E., Aesthetician for Oncology and Advanced Acne Specialist

Hey there! I’m Stephie, the proud founder of Skinology Face Bar, and I’m thrilled to share a little about my vision with you. My goal was simple: break away from the standard solo sessions you find in typical facial spas. Instead, we offer 30-minute targeted facials that cut out the fluff and focus on what really matters—getting you the results you’ve been searching for, all at prices that won’t break the bank. Let’s be honest, we all have shelves full of products that just don’t deliver, right?

I often found myself asking, “Why should a facial cost $50-$100 while the products we buy are $150-$200 for a tiny 1.2 oz?” It just didn’t add up! So, whether you’re here to catch up with a friend at our lively face bar or treating yourself to some well-deserved solo time, we’ve got you covered. We thought, “Why not offer the best of both worlds?” Creating an upbeat space where everyone feels welcome was super important to me. I wanted to provide a level of customer service that’s often missing in the industry.

At Skinology, we proudly serve women, teens, men, and the LGBT community because everyone deserves to feel fantastic in their skin!With over six years of experience as a licensed esthetician, my mission is to educate you and personalize your skincare routine for real, visible results. Skincare is a commitment, and together, we’ll make sure you achieve the results you want—we're a team! I also take immense pride in my amazing staff; they truly embody the spirit of our mission. As I love to say, “The vibe attracts your tribe,” and I wouldn’t be where I am without them!When I’m not helping clients glow, I’m indulging my other passion as an interior designer, creating beautiful spaces that inspire. My motto? “Less is more.” In my spare time, you can find me having fun with my family, cooking up a storm with my husband Chad, or snuggling with my two pups, Jax and Jema. But the best part of my day? Seeing the smiles on my clients' faces when they look in the mirror after their service—now that’s truly priceless!I can’t wait to welcome you to Skinology Face Bar and embark on this amazing skincare journey together!

Stephie has been a practicing Aesthetician since 2019. Outside of making faces beautiful, Stephie also is an interior designer, and enjoys making spaces beautiful. My motto is “Less is more.” In her spare time, she loves spending time with her family, friends, cooking meals with her husband Chad and snuggling with her 2 pups, Jax and Jema. But the main thing that she loves is seeing the smile on her client's faces when they look at themselves in the mirror after their service- PRICELESS!

Today we’d like to introduce you to Stephie Scheid. They and their team shared their story with us below:

Our founder, Stephie Scheid, created Skinology Aesthetics with a mission to educate clients on non-toxic products and personalized skincare routines that are result-driven. Skincare is a commitment that both of us need to be committed to. Together, we can achieve the results you want to see.
Stephie’s other vision was to break apart from the standard solo sessions found in typical facial spas. Our Face Bar offers 30-minute targeted facials, eliminating the fluff while educating clients on how to achieve the results they have been looking to achieve at prices that don’t break the bank. Let’s face it, we all have shelves full of products that do not work! The biggest question we had was, “Why does your facial cost $150-$250, and your products range from $150-$200 for a 1.2 oz?” Seriously?

Recently we have partnered with Elisa Ramos, co-founder of Nakd Aesthetics, to collaborate on the medical side of the Aesthetic world. Our goal is to change the dynamics of the Aesthetic community. Whether your vibe is meeting a friend at our face bar or indulging in solo pampering, we’ve got you covered. We figured,” Hey, why not have the best of both worlds?!”

It was also important to provide an upbeat space that welcomes everyone with open arms- getting back to providing concierge customer service to everyone that walks through our boutique.

Elisa Ramos is the co-founder of Nakd Aesthetics. She received a master’s in science at The University of Cincinnati and is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner. With 11 years of nursing experience, caring for others has always been Elisa’s passion. She strives for more knowledge to enhance her aesthetic skills and provide her clients with natural and flawless results. Elisa received her aesthetic training with Aesthetic Medical Educators Training, earning a continued education with the American Academy of Family Physicians. With a keen eye for detail, Elisa offers her clients a unique experience in the field of aesthetic nursing. Elisa focuses on facial rejuvenation artistry using Botox, Dysport, fillers, dermaplaning, and chemical peels.

With her charismatic nature and down-to-earth personality, Elisa seeks to give every one of her clients the boost of confidence to feel good in their skin; however they see fit!

Stephie also takes pride in each and every employee that has made the commitment to join on with Skinology. To say it best – “The vibe attracts your tribe” because I would be nothing without them!

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back, would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?Can we say “COVID-19″? Since COVID -19 we had to deal with price increases on all our PPP gear, products and with the ever-changing protocols/guidelines to follow. We embrace challenges to grow; this is how we learn and improve on a daily basis. Our persistence is a huge key in overcoming challenges. Giving up means that you neither overcome the challenge or learn from it. We power through challenges by asking for support, feeling our feelings, and we make a plan to work through it. Going through the struggles, smooth, easy or hard, it has better prepared us to be fully present and take care of our clients.

Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?What sets us apart from our competitors is that care about the quality of care, not the quantity of care we provide to our clients. It is extremely important to us to educate our clients on the medical and aesthetic sides in this industry. To put it simply, we tell the truth. Elisa specializes in injectables. Stephie specializes in educating her clients on non-toxic products that are result driven. We are both very passionate about changing the dynamics of the Aesthetic world. We pride ourselves building our clients’ trust while pampering them with the self-care treatment that they deserve.

I am a dedicated Massage Therapy graduate, having completed my training in the fall of 2021. My practice focuses on a variety of modalities, including relaxation, therapeutic, lymphatic, reflexology, prenatal, and postnatal massage. I am passionate about continuously enhancing my skills and knowledge to provide the best care for my clients. My journey into the world of massage began several years ago when I experienced my first session. The profound sense of peace and relaxation I felt during and after that treatment deeply impacted me. This transformative experience motivated me to incorporate regular massages into my own wellness routine. Driven by a desire to help others embark on their own journeys toward relaxation and well-being, I am committed to sharing the numerous benefits of massage therapy. I believe that it plays a crucial role in fostering a harmonious balance of mind, body,and spirit. My personal experiences have not only fueled my passion for this field but have also inspired me to guide others in discovering the healing power of routine massage.

Our Mission

PERSONALIZED

Skinology Face Bar is based on the foundation that a facial can be personalized, affordable, effective AND fun; something that typically isn’t common in the spa world. Every appointment is a personalized, one on one session to ensure you receive the care you need, and deserve.

EFFECTIVE

We believe in using high-quality products that are gentle yet effective to help your skin look beautiful without the compromise.  All products are paraben free, natural, and ideal for treating all skin types and ethnicities. We obsessively examine every ingredient (so you don’t have to).

AFFORDABLE

We believe that self-care is essential and are committed to making it accessible for all. We are committed to keeping our services and products affordable.  Our quick yet effective 30-minute facial was designed with that core value in mind. However, book one of our private room services if you prefer to indulge in an hour of pampering, peels, and treatments.

FUN

Skinology Face Bar is an open, upbeat space welcoming for everyone. Whether your vibe is meeting a friend at our face bar or indulging in an hour of solo pampering, we’ve got you covered. We figured, “hey, why not have the best of both worlds?!” From there we bring you: Skinology Face Bar.
