Celeste has been working with people’s hands for 23 years. She enjoys working with the public and has a customer service orientation to her job. She says that working at Spa Blú is different than working at a salon because a receptionist handles customer calls, scheduling, and appointments, freeing Celeste to give undivided attention to her clients. She says that her fellow workers are pleasant to work with. “We all enjoy making people feel good.” When her clients see their hands and feet after a session, they are satisfied; and that satisfies her.

Patty comes from a family of estheticians. From childhood Patty observed her aunt doing skin care. Her aunt is a nurse and owner of “Aesthetics Plus,” in Dublin where she teaches skin-care to nurses and estheticians. Patty was born and grew up in San Francisco. She moved to East County, drawn by the lure of affordable housing. She was excited when Spa Blú opened up, since she has wanted to get into the profession for many years. Patty loves taking care of her clients, and is especially drawn to sharing with them the things she has herself learned about skin care.

She enjoys networking with other professionals. The industry keeps moving forward and she likes staying on the cutting edge of the technology. She says that her profession is especially interesting because there are always things to be learned and interesting people to learn them with. Her biggest enjoyment comes from working with clients who have skin-care problems. She enjoys watching them blossom as their skin problems diminish or vanish.
