🔒 Her Path From Prison Visits To CEO 🦋

💖 A story of survival, grit, and creating the opportunity she never had

Rock bottom looked like this for Desarae Marhofer: a 2x college dropout and domestic abuse survivor, spending weekends visiting her abuser in prison. Everything changed during one such visit when his mother confronted her with a blunt, life-altering challenge: stop wasting a future trapped in a dead-end cycle and reclaim it! Her unexpected suggestion for how to do it? Esthetics.

That wake-up call sparked a transformation. Desarae poured herself into becoming a successful esthetician, and after building her own career for over fifteen years, she founded Beautiful You Skincare Academy, determined to offer others the supportive path she never had.

Now, at her 3rd location and state-accredited campus, recently opened in Colorado Springs, Desarae provides the education she wished she'd received. Unlike traditional schools, Beautiful You keeps classes small (10-12 students), giving you personalized attention. You gain immediate confidence by working with real clients just six weeks into your training, building the skills and self-worth needed to thrive.

If her story resonates, your own reinvention begins with a personalized campus tour. You’ll experience the supportive, nurturing environment, meet instructors, and receive a complimentary student facial. Scholarships may be available for qualified applicants, making a new future more accessible.

Want to experience luxury-quality skincare without the premium price tag? The student clinic delivers professional treatments at a fraction of typical costs. You'll leave with rejuvenated skin, knowing every service you received also helped a future professional build their confidence and career. Occasionally they will also have opportunities for you to volunteer as a model.

Beautiful You Skincare Academy welcomes you to their Colorado Springs location at Palmer Park and Union (1445 N Union Blvd, Ste 100.)

Contact: (719) 698-5154 or visit BeautifulYouSkincareAcademy.com and on Facebook

Student Clinic: Wed-Fri, 9:30am-4pm (by appointment)
