Conversation with Courageous Esthetician and Caregiver Anita Chan

Anita Chan is the owner of ANITA B SPA in San Francisco. She discovered her passion for beauty, wellness, and health at a very young age of 14.  After working in the makeup industry for several years, she soon realized the limitations she was facing with her attempts to create a flawless look on her clients who didn't take care of their skin, while finding herself struggling with her own acne issues as well.  It was then obvious to her that she wanted more than just to cover up her clients, and her own, imperfections but rather, to fix the problem.  

After attaining an AA degree in Image Consulting, she designed her own major at San Francisco State University and graduated with a BA degree in special major:  Fundamentals of Self-Image (a cross study between: Marketing, Psychology, and Speech Communication).  Since earning her license as an aesthetician (2004), she spent 12 years working in luxury spas and medical spas, running a makeup college as school director, and working part-time as a flight attendant for Cathay Pacific Airlines, while also working as an independent esthetician. In 2016, she opened ANITA B SPA and mentored her own team of estheticians.  She believes that everybody's skin is unique to the person and treats each client with education, compassion, and an understanding of the clients individual needs.
