Jackie Justin Von-Uhl
Aesthetician – Owner of Artiskin Advanced Aesthetics
Hello! I wanted to share a bit about my journey in the Aesthetics world. My husband and I moved to Eau Claire, WI back in 2011, and at that time, I had my Minnesota aesthetician license. I decided to continue pursuing my passion and obtained my Wisconsin license as well. Since then, we have made Eau Claire home. My family consists of my husband, our three children, two dogs, and a kitten, and life is always busy but very fulfilling.
I am a dedicated and hardworking individual who loves to see positive changes in my clients’ skin over time. I am committed to offering exceptional service and building strong relationships with my clients. My top priorities are quality treatments, quality ingredients, and quality work. I am always looking for ways to improve my skills and stay up-to-date with the latest developments in the aesthetics industry. Thank you for taking the time to read my bio. I look forward to the continued opportunity to work with you and help you achieve your skincare goals.
