Nerissa K., Licensed Aesthetician
About Nerissa
- Works in Scottsdale and Chandler Spas
- Sun Devil!!!
- Ingredient nerd
- Green hair gang
- Go cruelty free
My Healthy Tip: Don’t be afraid to try a facial. Even clients who say they don’t like their faces touch find the experience enjoyable and relaxing. Facials are for everyone, NOT just the ladies.
About Me: I love helping people feel beautiful and confident in their skin. I have experience in my field; however, that never stops me from learning something new. I strive each day to give my clients the care they deserve. Sanitation training, ingredient education, and conscious touch are my greatest assets.
What Aesthetics Means To Me: The skincare products we use in the spa, Eminence, is a favorite amongst the aesthetician community. It’s certified cruelty-free and organic. The products make my job easier because your skin gets REAL ingredients. The ‘Ohana I have here make me excited to go to work. Plus, who doesn’t like feeling like they work in Hawaii?
My Education And Training: I graduated from Southwest Institute of Natural Aesthetics (SWINA) with a diploma in Natural and Laser Aesthetics. I have been licensed in the state of Arizona for 5 yrs. now. Taking continued education is a priority of mine, as I am always eager to learn. Currently, I am finishing my bachelor’s in biology at Arizona State University (ASU).
My Favorite Services:
- Head to Toe Anti-ox detox Treatment: A scrub, wrap, shower AND facial, ALL IN ONE. Plus who doesn’t like smelling like blueberries!?.
- Islands’ Eminence Facial: When skin feels clogged or dirty, this is a great way to clear the palate and start fresh. Extractions are always optional, book extra time if you want me to get them all 😉
- Lomi Lomi Massage: Experience everything our spa has to offer with a traditional Hawaiian Massage technique.
- Chocolate Lovers Couples’ Massage Experience: This is the ultimate date-night treat. Save the calories and wear your chocolate instead.

- Kim_F_CA, TRIPADVISOR - 5 StarsI came into town for a much needed getaway to visit my parents. With lots of stress, I thought a spa package would be just what I needed, and it was! It was perfect from start to finish. I did the anti-aging package which was a body scrub & wrap with Jessie, anti-aging facial with Narissa, and 60-min mainland massage with Angel. All treatments were fantastic, and the therapists were fantastic, I would pick each of them again. I was able to use their infrared sauna for 45-min after the treatments, folllowed by a nice soothing shower. It was an amazing 4 hours there. The office is well-run and maintained. Each time I stepped into the showers or bathrooms, they were immediately cleaned and hand/body towels removed before the next person. There were couples, seniors, mom’s, mom & daughters there. It was a wonderful atmosphere and I look forward to coming back again soon.

- Linda K., YELP - 5 StarsNerissa is absolutely amazing! She listens intently to exactly what you feel needs to be done. I was introduced to the Hawaiian Spa in 2019 by a friend who raved about the experience. After having my first facial with Nerissa, I knew what my friend was talking about. Nerissa asks the right questions and makes sure your 100% pleased with her work when she’s finished. I’d give her more stars if I could!
