Since then, she has accomplished training with Circadia Skin to become a certified professional in skin biology and chemical peels, and Advanced Esthetic Training with Complexions & Circadia Skin which involved a double concentration in dermaplaning.

In the fall of 2025, Emily completed the Medical Aesthetics & Laser program from the IOMA Institute to acquire her Medical Aesthetics Diploma.

When not practicing Esthetics, Emily loves spending time with her husband, family, friends, three rescue pups, and taking weekend trips to the mountains of Virginia.
Allison Didio
Licensed Master Esthetician & Acne Specialist
Allison was born and raised here in Virginia. She is a graduate from The Chrysm Institute of Esthetics in Virginia Beach, VA, where she completed both Professional and Master Esthetics programs.
Growing up in a generation that loves to utilize Instagram filters, it is so incredibly easy to compare yourself to others and lose sight of how beautiful you are in real life. Allison found herself questioning how she could help others in feeling confident in their own beauty for themselves, and it led her to the esthetics field.
Allison is passionate about aiding clients in their acne healing journey and being able to walk alongside a client during the ups and downs of active acne. Her favorite service to offer is microneedling when treating her clients, whether it's for buffing out fine lines and wrinkles or helping her acne clients with acne scarring. She's the microneedling Queen at EAE!
In her free time, you can find Allison hanging out with friends and family or nose deep in a good book!

Lauren Lunch, LME
Licensed Master Esthetician
Lauren was born and raised in the Hampton Roads area.

Inspired by the impact of professional treatments, she decided to shift her focus and enroll at The Chrysm Institute of Esthetics here in Virginia Beach, where she earned her Master Esthetics License.
Her favorite treatments to offer are IPL and chemical peels, whether it’s for reducing pigment, sun damage, and redness or simply improving overall texture and appearance.
Away from the treatment room, she enjoys spending time with her husband and their two daughters, Penelope and Stella. Their favorite weekend getaway is at a campsite with friends.

Brea Bolen, LE
Licensed Esthetician
Brea is a proud 757 girlie, born and raised in Virginia Beach. While earning her bachelor's degree in Business Management and Fashion Merchandising at Old Dominion University, she discovered a passion for helping people feel confident in their own skin and creating a space where they can show up as the best version of themselves. That passion quickly turned into purpose, leading her to continue her education at The Chrysm Institute of Esthetics.
For Brea, aesthetics is about more than skincare. It's about self-care, confidence, and helping every client leave feeling refreshed, cared for, and a little more confident than when they walked in. She loves creating a welcoming, personalized experience where clients can relax, recharge, and enjoy taking time for themselves.
When she's not in the treatment room, you can find Brea working out, spending time with friends, or finding new ways to tap into her creative side.
