About Erica M. Montanez, Aesthetician Specialist

Erica loves all things beauty-related; especially skincare. However, it wasn’t until she was serving my Country in the United States Marine Corps when she found her passion – to excel in a career that would empower women and men to feel confident and live life without boundaries! When her tour ended, she moved back to Chicago and attended the University of Aesthetics in Wicker Park. Upon completing her Aesthetics program, she started working at a spa in the Gold Coast, where she specialized in providing services such as high-end custom facials, waxing and body treatments. Erica’s knowledge, hospitable personality and ability to deliver results-oriented treatments enabled her to advance her career and to become a Medical Aesthetician. She is continually refining her skills and increasing her industry knowledge by attending advanced-trainings in Aesthetics. This ongoing education ensures that she can offer the latest treatments and procedures delivering beautiful, lasting results to each of her clients while providing individualized and outstanding service.
