Hello from Mandalyn🤍
I started Mandalyn Academy 23 years ago at the young age of 22 because I loved helping my clients feel and look their best as their skin care therapist and I wanted to provide others with the same opportunity. I love helping women of all ages start their career as an esthetician and impact our community one face at a time.
Take a leap and get paid to do what you love!!
