Growing up in Trenton and attending Notre Dame High, Jena was the cheerleading Captain. That skill set has served her well throughout her career in esthetics. With energy abundant, Jena made a change in her life direction in 2004 when, instead of attending FIT for Fashion Merchandising as originally planned, she enrolled at Rizzieri AVEDA School. She met the love of her life earlier that year and decided to build a life and a future with Mike decidedly NOT in the bustle of NYC.
Jena was drawn to skin care as a professional calling because she enjoys helping people to look their best, have healthy skin and through that, feel great about themselves. At Rizzieri, Jena sped to the top of her class driven by her passion for the industry.
She began her professional esthetics career at Amber Spa in Pennington. While there, she trained, and trained, and then, when that was done, she trained some more under a European esthetician with 30 years experience. Her intense interest led her to a hands-on knowledge of many skincare brands including Obaji, Decleor, Dr. Gross, Nuxe, SkinCeuticals, Dr. Hauschka, Peter Thomas Roth, Bare Escentuals...and more. Another invaluable skill she acquired was speed waxing. I'll explain...
Speed Waxing is a waxing philosophy, shall we say,
service per se, it should be fast. Jena is highly skilled
at providing high quality waxing at a faster pace.
(Brazilian fans REJOICE!) To facilitate this,
Jena spreads the wax thinner, over a larger surface area,
and removes it quickly with thin strips.
The results are flawless, pretty painless and FAST.
Jena came to Zanya Spa Salon in March of 2010. With her amazing enthusiasm and passion for all things skincare, Jena has worked with and trained under Dr. Espinoza to become a medical esthetician, performing medical grade chemical peels from SkinCeuticals and SkinMedica, microdermabrasion and dermaplaning. Along the way, Jena has also become a certified Xtreme Lash Technician.
Jena is a true cheerleader for Zanya Spa Salon and La Chele, and is forever seeking to educate her clients as well as herself on how to care for skin and make it healthy, glowing and beautiful.
Her wedding is going to be beautiful too, set for February 4th on a private island off the coast of Jamaica. She is persuing her favorite pastime in preparation for her nuptials: shopping. Her favorite dessert is “a good creme brulee”. And the thing that most frightens Jena in her basement – snakes. You'll have to get more info on that from Jena directly..."Snake Charmer" is NOT in her bag of tricks.
I began going to Jena for waxing when she was at Amber Spa. I am a true baby when it comes to pain and I concur she is the fastest and most painless waxer I have ever seen. Before Jena I have literally walked out of a couple of waxing sessions at other spas because of the discomfort. Also, my eyebrows are unruly and her shaping is flawless. When she joined Zanya I immedialtly followed her because of her good advice, excellent facials and of course waxing! I now go to Zanya for all hair services as well. Every time I visit Zanya it is a great and relaxing experience. Jena is truly an asset to such a wonderful establishment.
