Michelle Lemoncello
Licensed Esthetician

Meet Michelle, a licensed esthetician with over 23 years of experience. Her journey began by pampering clients with facials at a local spa, but soon her passion for perfect brows led her to specialize in brow artistry for the past 20 years.

Michelle’s dedication to her craft led her to train under the renowned Anastasia of Beverly Hills, honing her skills to become a master brow artist. However, her heart never strayed far from skincare, and she recently decided to return to her roots.

While she still excels in brow shaping, Michelle’s true joy lies in pampering clients and helping them achieve their skincare goals. Now embarking on a new chapter, Michelle is thrilled to bring her expertise and passion to Skin Deep Esthetics, where she looks forward to continuing her journey of making clients feel beautiful inside and out.

Meet Our Owner and Founder

Samantha Dench
Owner & Licensed Esthetician

I have been a licensed esthetician since 2003 and owner of Skin Deep Esthetics since 2010. I’m deeply passionate about the skin and educating clients on how to improve their skin’s health safely and naturally. I continually educate myself to stay current on the most natural yet effective treatment options.

My mission is to empower anyone suffering from skin problems to understand that food is the root of all evil and that you CAN clear up your skin by making positive changes to your diet. That doesn’t mean you have to stop enjoying food; you’ll need to shift so you can feel good after eating.

Everyone deserves to LOVE the reflection staring back at you!

  • I am a single mom of 3, and having my own business allows me to work around my kids’ schedules, which is awesome.
  • I’ve been with my boyfriend, Clint, since 2018, who is a true partner and my best friend.
  • I love cooking and work to maintain a healthy diet.
  • In 2018, I took control of my eating habits and saw positive changes in my overall health
  • I’ve learned a lot about how our foods create inflammation in the body. This led me to go carnivore and eat only fatty red meats and soy-free eggs.
  • I’m an author.
  • I’m the founder of Zozo Skincare, a skincare line for tweens and teens.
  • I love educating clients about their skin in a simple, easy-to-implement way.
  • I help clients take the guesswork out of buying skincare products and create simple, effective rituals that fit easily into their busy schedules.
  • I am passionate about education and staying up to date with current trends, products, and ingredients.
  • I love sharing my knowledge through my book; a great tool to help clients understand skin and how to properly care for it.
  • I treat the skin at the source and never put a band-aid on your current skin concerns.

Our Owner Samantha’s Story

As a teenager, I rarely had breakouts. It came as a big surprise when I went off birth control to get pregnant that suddenly I was suffering from full-blown adult acne. Thankfully, with each of my pregnancies, my skin cleared up, which I assumed was due to hormones.

After my daughter, Zoe, was born in 2012, I decided to do a gut cleanse to lose the last of my baby weight. To my surprise, eliminating inflammatory foods from my diet cleared my skin up in less than two weeks!

Like most of us, I was good for a while and stuck to healthy eating habits, then went back to my old ways of eating, which was healthy MOST of the time. When I wasn’t eating well, my skin showed it. I would use the excuse that I’m only human and was here to live my life and enjoy food. Those ugly, huge breakouts and large dark patches of skin would pop up and remind me that I wasn’t as healthy as I told myself.

I learned that even though we think we are healthy and eating well, many of the “healthy foods” we eat are highly inflammatory. My partner Clint and I are always a work in progress, and we have changed the way we eat and look at food. At the age of 45, my skin has never looked better! It was as simple as cutting out foods that cause inflammation in the body.
