The Story Behind Hello Gorgeous Med Spa in Oswego, IL: From Acne at 12 to Half a Million in Care

I had a passion for esthetics since I was 12. Awful acne, Accutane at 18, obsessed with skincare. After my two boys, I went to esthetic school. My aunt funded my business and said go for it, honey. Here I am 10 years later.

Published March 24, 2026 by Hello Gorgeous Med Spa

At Hello Gorgeous Med Spa in Oswego, IL — serving Naperville, Aurora, Plainfield, and the Fox Valley — we're not your average med spa. We're family-owned, built from a 12-year-old's struggle with acne and a beautiful aunt who believed in "go for it, honey." Here's the real story.

A Passion for Skin Since I Was 12

I had awful acne. I tried everything over the counter. I mean, what else can you do at 12 years old? At 18, I went on Accutane. It did its purpose. But in between those years, I became obsessed — learning everything about skincare, conditions, diseases, and ingredients. That obsession never left.

After My Two Boys: A Career Change

After I gave birth to my two little boys, I decided to make a career change. I went to esthetic school. Because of my background in business, I didn't just want to work somewhere — I wanted to build something. I decided to open my own med spa.

Where the Name Came From

Hello Gorgeous comes from my beautiful aunt who raised me. Every time she passed me, she would say, "Hello gorgeous." She believed in me when I needed it most. As a stay-at-home mom herself, she funded my business and said, "Go for it, honey."

I took that leap.

Here I Am 10 Years Later

Here I am — 10 years later. An RN student. I've invested over half a million dollars in equipment. Morpheus8 Burst, Solaria CO₂, Quantum RF, laser hair removal, injectables, weight loss, hormone therapy — all under one roof in Oswego.

But none of it matters if we don't take care of the people who trust us. I want nothing more than to take care of my clients and make them feel even more beautiful than they already are.

Built Different

We're not a chain. We're not a revolving door. We're a family-owned med spa where the person who started it — who lived the acne, who studied the ingredients, who went to school, who took the risk — is still here. Still learning. Still investing. Still showing up.

That's Hello Gorgeous.
