Huntsville Spa Helps Clients Put Their Best Face Forward

Previously seen as a luxury, taking the time to care for one’s well being through beauty and self care has been linked to stronger mental health, especially throughout the pandemic.

For 17 years, aesthetician Moneé Burke has been helping her clients put their best faces forward, correcting and treating troubled skin that dermatologists were unable to, while helping her clients confront their insecurities and bring out their natural beauty.

“We have a joke as aestheticians that we’re like a free therapist,” Burke said. “I have so many clients that confide in and talk to me about things, that they help me, it’s like my gift of treating them, but it’s honestly a treat to me that I get to do that, I appreciate them so much for coming and trusting me with what I do.”

Burke cites her spa as a safe space where her clients can confide in her their stresses they are feeling or fears that bear down on them, as she works to melt away the negative energy, remove the distractions of life and provide a haven to experience serenity for the short time they have.

“I love making people feel good, but I honestly believe God put me on this earth to be a service to others, so that’s my calling,” she said.

She started her career in California, working for an aesthetician, before moving to a MedSpa and later opening her own practice, which she had for three years. She then relocated her business to downtown Huntsville nearly a year-ago, to be closer to her father’s roots.

What is an aesthetician?

An aesthetician is someone who specializes in skincare and skin conditions. This is a clinical profession that overlaps with the field of luxury self-care.

With a team of specialists whom she empowers to be their own bosses, Rejuv MB offers an impressive menu of professional self-care treatments. Their most requested specialties include spa facial treatments, DMK enzyme therapy, LED light therapy, chemical peels, clinical acne treatments, dermaplane, massages, botox or fillers, microblading, lashes, professional teeth whitening, waxing and CryoLab Aesthetics.

“I just honestly love being able to make people smile and bringing out their confidence,” she said. “The first thing that you look at when you meet someone is their face and if you have problematic skin from acne or even if you have severe fine lines and wrinkles, you get self conscious about it and insecure, so I want to be able to help somebody with that insecurity, help them fix that and knowledge them on the health of their skin.”

As resident aesthetician, Burke’s most popular services are customized facial treatments, which come with an initial consultation to get to know the history of a client’s skin and what their goals or concerns are. Her Diamond Glow treatments are also a hit, with the same concept as microdermabrasion, which exfoliates, extracting impurities and infusing a serum into the skin.

Through her treatments, she’s been able to help heal the painful irritations of psoriasis, eczema and acne, building at home skin regimens to continue her clients’ progress outside of her office. However, the number one product she suggests for healthy skin, especially for anti-aging, is sunscreen, due to its preventative nature for sun damage, skin cancer, age spots, fine lines and wrinkles.

Rejuv MB Spa & Aesthetics is located at 1109 University Avenue in Huntsville. To make an appointment, call 936-4396353.
