Meet Livi Jay
Liv is a 2019 graduate of the Aveda Institute and co-founder of A Hidden Gem Beauty Bar. Just months after graduation, she teamed up with Katie to open thier dream space - a cozy, results-driven beauty bar built on connection, confidence, and a whole lotta love.
After struggling with cystic acne since the age of eight, Liv made it her mission to help others find real, gentle, solutions without the need for harsh medications. She knows what it's like to feel insecure in your skin - and nothing lights her up more than helping clients feel proud of what they see in the mirror.
She specializes in microneedling, acne treatments, and Lutronic Ultra - a powerful skin resurfacing treatment that helps fade pigmentation, smooth texture, and bring out your skin's natural glow. Whether you're dealing with breakouts, scarring, or just want to feel refreshed, Liv's your girl for treatments that actually work (and feel amazing, too).
A proud 6th generation Northshore native, newlywed, and dog mama to two spoiled pups, Liv brings her love of skin, family, and community into everything she does. Wehn she's not in the treatment room, you'll probably catch her watching her husband play rugby, binging reality TV, or sneaking in a beach trip whenever she can.
