Beverly turner
Esthetician
Beverly Turner has been professionally involved in Spa Skincare since 1990. She held one of the first NC sales Rep positions with Universal Esthetics Co., an opportunity that introduced her to different skincare
modalities and opportunities to learn about the budding Spa/skincare industry in NC.
From spa equipment sales to product training to personally providing skincare treatments, she learned early on from several internationally known Estheticians about various types of skincare services and the proper protocols of the Spa industry. Beverly was instrumental in helping with the state legislative efforts of getting separate professional licensure in NC by petitioning and presenting to both the NC Cosmetology board and NC State legislature in favor of licensing esthetics in NC. In 1997, the first year the NC Esthetics license was made available, Beverly was one of the first in the state to secure her NC Esthetics license as well as acquiring her NC Esthetics Instructors license to teach esthetics.
Beverly especially enjoys helping people find and maintain healthy skincare practices and with sharing and imparting to her clients the relaxing and healing benefits of the “spa” experience.
