Before becoming a California-licensed esthetician, Jolie Kristine Budau spent more than two decades working in dental medicine. This extensive healthcare background shaped the meticulous standards she brings to her private esthetics practice, including rigorous sanitation and infection-control protocols supported by OSHA certifications and healthcare-compliance training.

Jolie’s lifelong fascination with human anatomy, physiology and the relationship between health and appearance ultimately led her to pursue professional skincare. She earned her diploma and esthetics license in 2004 and began working alongside local plastic surgeons and dermatologists early in her career. She continues to maintain these professional relationships today, bringing a clinically informed perspective to every treatment she performs.

Oncology care also holds a deeply personal place in Jolie’s heart. Her commitment to providing thoughtful, compassionate care inspired her to pursue specialized certification through the Institute of Integrative Oncology at the Hoag Cancer Center.

In an industry that continually evolves, Jolie believes advanced education is essential—even for the most experienced practitioners. Although her primary focus is now esthetics, she continues to maintain her dental licensure while pursuing postgraduate education and advanced certifications in skin science, facial anatomy and specialized treatment techniques.

Jolie expanded her expertise through advanced study with master educator Yakov Gershkovich, earning double certification in Osteopathic Sculptural Face Lifting—a world-renowned treatment coveted by many A-list celebrities. She also traveled to Los Angeles to train with Dina Ousley as a Hollywood-trained makeup artist and is a certified Anastasia of Beverly Hills brow artist.

As a three-time award-winning licensed esthetician, Jolie is recognized for combining extensive education, technical precision and highly personalized care. Her approach is never one-size-fits-all. Every treatment is thoughtfully designed around the individual client, their skin, their concerns, and their long-term goals.

For Jolie, exceptional esthetics extends far beyond the treatment room. She is committed to building lasting relationships with her clients, educating them about their skin and creating an experience in which they feel genuinely heard, cared for and confident in the hands of a highly trained professional.

Through Jolie’s Eyes

“I believe my greatest strength is my ability to weave science, alchemy and intuition together. I remain devoted to the continual study of skin, facial anatomy and the human body so I can treat each client as a whole person—not simply as a condition.

My commitment is to provide every client with a state-of-the-art experience grounded in education, precision, health and healing. I am deeply honored by the trust my clients place in my hands, and I will always approach that responsibility with the highest level of care.”
