I'm Jenny Padama, 31, a proud mom of two (Ollie and Aria), and bilingual (English and Tagalog). I've been a Licensed Esthetician for over 8 years. 

My journey began at San Diego City College, where I enrolled in Esthetician School with dreams of becoming a makeup artist. My love for makeup was self-taught, inspired by YouTube gurus and practice. While Esthetician School offered some makeup training, I discovered a deeper passion for skincare, helping people with acne, hyperpigmentation, and aging, and the relaxation aspect of the field. 

Graduating in 2016 and earning my Esthetician License was one of the happiest moments of my life. As a new esthetician, finding a spa job without experience was challenging, so I initially tried being a lash artist (it didn’t work out, lol). Eventually, I worked at a spa for about five and a half years, where I honed my skills and knowledge. This experience was invaluable and prepared me to confidently open my own business. 

In 2022, I took the leap and founded "Alaria Skin". It was the best decision I've made, despite the challenges. Thanks to the support of my incredible clients, family, friends, and my faith in God, we're over two years strong! 

I am passionate about being an esthetician because it allows me to build meaningful connections with my clients while helping them achieve their skincare goals. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing their results and knowing I’m doing what I love every day!
