About Mary
Freihofner
During her teen years Ms. Freihofner
suffered with fairly typical teen acne but by the age of 22 Ms.
Freihofner began breaking out with adult cystic acne. The medical
community did not have much good information on acne control and
doctor’s prescriptions were not helping with some seeming to make
the
acne even worse. Ms. Freihofner tried many products and treatments on
her own for years until age 28 when she found
a knowledgeable Esthetician while living in Florida. The
Esthetician was able to clear up her skin considerably with facial
treatments, extractions of clogged pores and the correct products to
use at home. From that point on Ms. Freihofner began to study skin care
and acne control.
Five years later
in 2000 Ms. Freihofner visited Philadelphia,
fell in love with the city with it’s historical architecture,
river
views and diverse culture and moved from Florida
to Fishtown in Philadelphia.
Immediately she enrolled at American Academy
of
Beauty to study Cosmetology passing her state boards. Next she attended
medical esthetics classes and received certification in Medical
Esthetics from Hylunia-Hy Med. Ms. Freihofner
worked as an Esthetician in two different spas but was unable to really
practice skin care in the way she felt was needed for her clients. Ms.
Freihofner recognizes and believes in the benefits of relaxing and
pampering in the facial experience but she did not want that to be the
main component of her facials. She instead wanted the main component to
be to improve the health and quality of a persons skin. She also felt
that skin care was just too expensive. She recognized that not many
people can afford $85-$130 for a one hour facial and yet many truly
benefit from them. She saw that she would have to open her own shop to
practice therapeutic and affordable skin care. And so the vision began
and five years later that unique vision became a reality.
Ms. Freihofner is State Board Licensed
in the State of PA,
Medical
Esthetics Certified, Owner of Affordable Skin Care Salon and Acne Stop
Skin Care, and member of Allied Health Association. Ms.
Freihofner is consistent in attending conferences, reading about the
newest skin care information and is highly specialized in acne control
and prevention.
Ms.
Freihofner feels strongly about protecting the earth and recycling. All
recyclable materials are recycled and low carbon footprints are a goal
with local purchasing when possible. Mainly organic and paraben free
products are used in all the facials. |
