A native of Houston, Texas, Dee knows what a warm climate can do to skin. Her love of esthetics began early on with a career in merchandising. As the proprietor of ‘Dream Merchant’, a unique clothing and gift store located in Houston, Dee has dedicated her talents to helping others look and feel their best. She chose to pursue her career as an esthetician after moving to Santa Fe, New Mexico in the mid-nineties. There she established the Cara Mia Skin Care Boutique, and after 17 years of success, Dee has continued to further her knowledge of skin care by taking continuous courses in esthetics. She has since returned to her own private practice and continues to remain on the cutting edge of technological advancements in skin care, offering a wide array of treatments, services and products.
