Hi, my name is Jackie Snider and I have been a licensed Esthetician since 2008. My love for skin and skincare developed through my own struggles with my skin. From a young age I suffered from acne and cystic acne, which was not only painful and embarrassing, but it also negatively affected the way I saw myself. In order to deal with my skin problems as best I could at the time, I learned about makeup and how to apply it beautifully. What started as a necessity for me turned into a wonderful passion when I became a professional makeup artist in 2005. Makeup became a fun, creative outlet for me and I loved that I could enhance someone's natural beauty by highlighting some of their best features, and draw attention away from blemishes and imperfections. There have been countless times when my clients have looked in the mirror after they have had their makeup done and it brought tears of happiness to their eyes because they had never felt so beautiful. As a makeup artist, that was one of the best feelings in the world.
Although makeup was able to fix my skin issues on an external level, my skin troubles persisted when the makeup was removed. I knew that in order to be truly happy with my skin and appearance I needed to work on my skin on a deeper level. I began to regularly see a wonderful esthetician who educated me on professional products and put me on a high-quality, professional, at-home skincare routine. After beginning this treatment and through consistency, I saw unbelievable improvement in my skin. I was so inspired by the transformation my skin went through and intrigued by the process itself. I never dreamed I could have beautiful skin without makeup but I did! This was life-changing for me, and it was not only a physical outward change, but it also improved the way I felt about myself. The idea of making someone feel good about themselves from the outside in as my esthetician had done for me, was so rewarding that I decided this was the career path I was meant for and it was a natural choice for me to become an esthetician myself. I began working for a medical spa in 2012 and was able to further my knowledge about skincare. I became passionate about researching skin treatments, ingredients, and the mechanism of action different products had on different types of skin problems. It was from this point on I grew my love for this field and have been mastering my craft of helping people achieve their goals of beautiful, flawless skin.
Making an impactful change in someones skin is extremely gratifying and I love improving the myriad of skin conditions one can have: from acne, to repairing fine lines and wrinkles, and everything in between. I am committed to every one of my clients and I will do everything in my power to help you achieve the results that you want, and I also take pride in performing the best treatments according to each individual clients needs. That's why I am so proud of the treatments that we offer here at casaBLANCA spa + boutique.
My mission is to empower clients to achieve their best skin by sharing my knowledge of skin health and wellness. I enjoy applying all I have learned to help others feel confident and beautiful. However, I will always work within the scope of my practice, and if I see something that I know I can't help you with, I have no problem with referring you to a Dermatologist or another medical specialist. We will work together to solve any of your skin problems, and I can assure you that I will give you 100% of my attention every time you visit me!
I also can't wait for you to meet my amazing team! Not only are these women are hilarious (I encourage you to read their bios) they're infectious personalities shine and are such amazing, passionate, and knowledgable women that truly care about you and your needs!
We look foward to seeing you!

Hi, my name is Jessica Hodges and I've been an Esthetician since 2019. I have spent most of my professional life as a makeup artist, helping and teaching people to feel their most beautiful. I have always had a passion for helping people love the way they look! What I have learned over the years is that confident beauty always starts with beautiful, healthy skin. I have made it a goal of mine to further my education and knowledge about the skin and what it takes to create a healthy complexion.
Making a client feel comfortable in my treatment room and in their own skin is my upmost priority. It is always a safe space with me! We will talk about your goals, most likely laugh our way through, and come up with an amazing skincare plan that is best for you! I love to create more of an experience for you, rather than just another appointment!
As a momma of two littles, I fully understand the importance of anti-again services and products (*applies eye cream while typing...) and I can't wait to share my knowledge with you!

Hi, my name is Sarah Whittemore and I've been an Esthetician since 2019. I am a Reno native and have had a (borderline obsessive) fascination with the beauty industry since my mom bought me the Bobbi Brown 'Teenage Beauty' book when I was 12 years old (mostly in hopes I would avoid the sparkly blue eyeshadow/black eyeliner combo, I think). After I graduated from collage I travelled the world for a couple years, ended up getting a masters (I truly love learning), and got married and started a family.
While I was a client of Jackie's, I was constantly bugging her asking if she'd heard of different products/treatments I'de researched. And she was teaching me so much about skin care and opened my eyes to the industry. Thanks to her and my mom, I decided to get my esthetician license. It has been the most rewarding and dream career. I feel so lucky my "job" is to research and get trained in new and innovative treatments. Plus, getting to spend so much time with Jackie, Jess, and Stef is a literal dream.
I'm so excited to be here and I can't wait to talk about products (trust me, I've tried almost everything...ask my husband how much counter space he has...), get to know you, and learn everything this industry has to offer!

Hi, my name is Stefani Bell and I've been an Esthetician since 2019. I am born and raised in Reno and graduated from the University of Nevada, Reno with a degree in Community Health Science. I have always been so passionate about health, and with good health comes beauty and nothing makes me happier than making someone feel beautiful.
After struggling with my own skin issues in the past, and becoming obsessed with all things skin care, I made the choice to pursue my esthetician license and it was the best decision I have ever made. Helping clients feel comfortable and confident in their skin is my upmost goal.
I cannot wait to share my knowledge with you and see you in the treatment room!

Hi, my name is Kaitlin Thomas and I have been a licensed cosmetologist since 2012. I went to beauty school thinking I would love doing hair but shortly after I realized that was not the path for me. In 2013 I took a class to learn how to do eyelash extensions and I loved it and have been doing them ever since.
However, my true passion is skin and the ability to heal skin from within. After years of struggling with acne in my late teens and early twenties I started to change my lifestyle when it came to diet. I began seeing an amazing medical aesthetician who taught me so much about skin and the best ways for me to care for mine. Through years of consistently seeing her for different skin treatments, using professional skin care products and my diet change my skin transformed and my passion grew. Feeling beautiful in my own skin has been the greatest gift!
I never thought I would get the opportunity to further my passion with skin until I came to casaBLANCA! I'm so grateful to be given the opportunity to work with some of the most amazing and highly educated estheticians. I can't wait to see you in the treatment room whether it be for lashes or skin!
