Any Questions

Sasha Rahamim

Nurse

Hi my name is Sasha and I have been a nurse for over nine years. My career began in the ICU and after several years I ventured into the plastic surgery/aesthetic world. I have been an aesthetic nurse for the last six years. My career in the aesthetics started with lasers where I specialized in the Sciton laser machine doing BBL’s and Halos along with Ultherapy. Along the way I learned injectables. By having the knowledge of both lasers and injectables I feel I can enhance one’s beauty thoroughly. When I’m not working I am spending time with my husband and kids, traveling, and trying new restaurants. I am new to Texas but I love everything it has to offer.

Karyn B

Hair Removal Technician

Dual-licensed Karyn Barrett previously worked in corporate America in sales administration, where high stress led her to work in the spa industry. She acquired two college degrees before obtaining her two state aesthetics licenses: esthetician, and, professional laser hair removal technician (the top tier of laser licenses).

Karyn’s lifelong passion for fitness and nutrition spill over into skincare, because she believes how we treat our bodies is as important as what we topically apply to our skin.

As an esthetician, she loves educating, pampering, and helping her clients obtain or enhance their skin through stress reduction and excellence in skin care, including full body scrubs and wraps, as well as laser hair reduction, laser resurfacing, and laser acne/pigment/anti-aging care.

Karyn’s credo is skin care is no longer just “a luxury”, but rather a necessity. She looks forward to providing you with an exceptional experience, whether it is to make a change in your skin, or melt away stress.

Amber P

Esthetician

Hi my name is Amber, I am a Licensed Aesthetician and social media manager at SpaVela! I attended Aveda Institute in 2019 and completed the program by 2020. I have been in the beauty industry for 6 years now, starting in retail and receptionist positions I was able to work and train with master aesthetician’s and medical grade skincare brands before attaining my license. Skincare has been my passion, and seeing the changes it can make with my clients in their day to day lives has been amazing and inspiring!

It is so incredibly important to me to spend real time getting to know the people who come to see me – this way I am able to create thoughtful and ethical treatment plans to help them achieve their ultimate skin health and aesthetic goals! I hope to further my education by attending laser school this year!

I am originally from England and have lived in 5 countries and have travelled to at least 26! I now enjoy spending my free time at home with a book and cuddling my cats Mochi and Tink!
