"Where Knowledge and Skill Meet Skin"

Melissa Cundiff - Founder/Cosmetologist/Esthetician Instructor began her career in the field of esthetics 36 years ago in Birmingham, Alabama where she worked as a Fragrance Model in major cosmetic department stores at the age of 15 while in high school. She worked in cosmetics while attending college and received her cosmetology license as her main focus on esthetics. Melissa's career extended from cosmetics to day spas, medical spas, account coordinator positions in cosmetic sales to skincare and spa equipment educator and sales representatives for Alabama and the southeast. Melissa had such a passion for the industry and her goal and desire was to help others make a career change to the esthetic industry. She went back to college and received her instructors license to fulfill her dream and goal of opening Birmingham, Alabama's first Esthetician School in 2002. Skinactics School of Aesthetics; inc. Alabama's only state in the nation with a 1500 hour Esthetician Program. The school was such a huge success she opened Daphne, Alabama's and South Alabama's First Esthetician School in 2006. Melissa led the state with the most knowledgeable estheticians in the nation and a 100% pass rate for state board testing with scores in the high 90's. Melissa later opened a skincare center and advanced makeup school during this time. The state of Alabama lowered esthetic hours to 1000 hours and Melissa introduced Skintrenzixs in 2012 which started off as a spa then later a SkinSchool. Her lifelong goal was to move to the beach and finally made it happen in 2016 when Melissa and Greg relocated Skintrenzixs to Fort Walton Beach, Florida as a skincare center for clients to come and relax by appointment only. In 2016 Skintrenzixs Skincare Products were introduced and a huge success. In 2018 Melissa won Destin's Best Aesthetician. In 2019 Skintrenzixs Cosmetics were introduced and the new Cosmetic Studio. Melissa thoroughly enjoys and has such a huge passion for the esthetic industry and helping others achieve beautiful skin results.
