Whitney’s Beauty Services is Open
Submitted by Whitney Bothwell
“I am so excited to finally announce that I am now a licensed esthetician and taking clients here in Libby. For now I will be working out of a small room in my new house with its own entrance.
I do waxing, lash & brow tinting, lash lifts, brow laminations and facials. I graduated from the Aveda Arts & Sciences Institute in Dallas Texas with 750 hours in the Esthiology program. I am licensed in Texas and Montana. I am not affiliated with Aveda in any way but I am Aveda trained and my entire professional product stock is specifically Aveda. In other words, you’ll get the Aveda luxury experience for a lower price. However, Since I am not affiliated with Aveda I, unfortunately, will never be able to purchase their professional products again. So get in and get an Aveda facial before I run out. “
