Janae Is Changing Faces

“Skincare first; make-up second" is the philosophy of Janae Wesby. A philosophy that Janae not only practices with her clientele but it is a philosophy that she lives by. Hard to believe that this youthful looking woman has been in the business of beauty and esthetics for over 20 years serving as a Make-up artist, beauty expert and creating her brand, Janae Is Changing Faces, Inc. If someone were to ask Janae, when did she fall in love with beauty? Her answer would be; “I fell in love with beauty in 1982 when I saw two of my mother’s friends blow dry her large afro into a sleek press and low ponytail, complete with a full makeup application finished with a red lipstick!! That vision of my mother was the beginning of a dream that I have worked tirelessly to turn into a reality”. In addition to that vision of her mother, the driving force behind Janae Is Changing Faces, Inc. came from Janae’s own insecurities about her problematic skin. Unbeknownst to her those shortcomings became a fascination of how the skin and body works with food, medication and skincare products. Janae’s passion for beauty and healthy skin has fueled her to build a business in the beauty industry. As a brand advocate for many skincare companies including La Mer, Janae was afforded many opportunities such as serving as the speaker for La Mer Wellness Events and Master Classes. She was also one of twelve selected estheticians in the nation to receive extensive specialized estheticians training. Other accomplishments include the opportunity to work alongside the La Mer regional trainers, field executives, and other experts. Janae has become a fixture with the emergence of La Mer’s traveling multi-cultural and multi-generational question and answer panels and with her in-depth knowledge of the brand and her intensive studies as an esthetician, she continues to shine as a beauty expert.
