PROPRIETOR / MASTER ESTHETICIAN

Licensed Master Esthetician | NECA Certified | Pastiche Trained in Advanced Skin Analysis | Makeup Artist | Certified Holistic Health Counselor

Jenn Boshes has been in the beauty industry since the age of 16 when she started behind a makeup counter in her native state of New Hampshire. After receiving a Bachelor’s of Science degree in marketing and advertising, Jenn moved to Manhattan to pursue her dream of becoming a retail buyer. Like many people — once the dream was fulfilled — she realized that she missed the connection she felt in helping people to feel good about themselves. So, she made the leap and moved to Boston the year after 9/11, where she revamped her career by becoming an esthetician. 

Early in Jenn’s career, she felt a deep calling to gain as much knowledge of skin health as she could. She would continually take class after class to not only have a better understanding of skin science but to impart her knowledge on her clients and estheticians. As a result, Jenn incorporates into her practice her proficient knowledge of skin science and nutrition, a deep love of skincare, and a strong desire to help others feel their very best. Beauty, health, and wellness are the cornerstones of Jenn’s work, and she is trained in cosmetic chemistry and the “Pastiche Method®” of skin analysis under Florence Barrett-Hill, an internationally respected aesthetic technical educator, practitioner, researcher, and author with extensive experience in all aspects of professional aesthetic therapy and paramedical skincare.

Jenn’s deeply curious spirit has fostered a love of all things metaphysical. As a result, she earned her health coaching certificate at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and is also on her way to becoming a certified Reiki master. Most recently, Jenn has become trained in the art of intraoral massage which helps to decrease tension and plump the skin and, in December 2022, she was named a U.S. skincare ambassador for Environ. With these teachings, Jenn incorporates her love of skin science and nutrition with the finest skincare products in the world, to accomplish her goal of helping others feel their very best. 

Beauty Mark is a family business. Jenn and her husband Orion have worked diligently together to create a company that provides inspiration to their team, their clients, and their children. Jenn highly recommends to everyone that she meets: find that spark — find what you love to do — and take the leap to get there.

Vanessa’s extensive training in both make-up artistry and advanced skincare elevate her as one of the most sought-after estheticians in the state.

A Maine native, Vanessa graduated from the International School of Skin in 2000, and later studied postgraduate advanced esthetics at the International Dermal Institute. Vanessa’s continued education has earned her certifications with both Environ and Biologique Recherche, ranging from advanced peels to microdermabrasion to microcurrent treatments, and beyond.

Vanessa parallels her skincare expertise with an extensive proficiency at makeup artistry. Having studied under Bobbi Brown, and also as a freelance makeup artist for several major lines, including Tom Ford, Chantecaille and Le Metier, Vanessa helps women to feel both confident and radiant in their skin. Vanessa is passionate about both skincare and skin health, and is excited to provide her clients with a personalized results-driven treatment plan.

After time in Atlanta, Las Vegas, and Hawaii, Vanessa joined the team in 2016, and is delighted to be back in Maine with Beauty Mark.

I take pride in being an esthetician, because knowing that you are helping someone feel not only beautiful, but genuinely happy in their own skin, is such a great accomplishment.

I used to struggle with constant chin acne, and would be prescribed ointment after ointment...drying out my skin. It wasn’t until I had my first facial did I learn that taking care of your skin comes in many different layers.

Since then, I have always wanted to be that person for my clients, helping educate them on how to properly care for their skin. To do so, I have gained extensive training from Environ, Biologique Recherche, Dermaviduals, Augustinus Bader and Westman Atelier.

Brooke loves all things skin and has small town roots as she grew up on a beautiful lake in northern Maine.

Brooke began her career as an esthetician at Jessica Johnson Beauty, where she fell in love with the science behind skin. She learned a lot from a great mentor and has grown tremendously as an esthetician.

From there, she ventured into medical esthetics and learned about skin from a different perspective.

Brooke is now an amazing and well-loved part of the Beauty Mark team where she is taking part in frequent trainings with our favorite brands as well as studying even more esthetic techniques and methodology.

Brooke believes in taking care of herself from the inside out as she loves nutrition and taking care of body and mind. She enjoys yoga, meditation and taking walks with her dog Pearl and fiancé Ryan.
