Meet The Founder

Esthetician Ava Lemons

Ava has been a licensed esthetician for nearly 20 years. She began her career in Chicago convinced she wanted to be a makeup artist. After working with brands such as Aveda, Dermalogica, and SkinCeuticals, Ava fell in love with performing facials. She moved to Los Angeles in 2014 to further her esthetics career. After working on the retail side of skincare for Malin + Goetz, Ava eventually landed at Heyday Skincare in 2017. Ava became one of the top Skin Therapists at Heyday and was eventually promoted to shop educator. After 1 year in this role, Ava decided that it was time to finally launch her solo career. She was one of the winners of the 2022 Bioelements Entrepreneurship Award, which allowed her to open up Lemon Lounge Skincare Studio in June 2022.

  • These two lines work together beautifully to address all skin tones and conditions. StoryDerm and iSOV are Korean beauty brands that focus on keeping the skin youthful and healthy long term.

  • Dr. Loretta has been a dermatologist for over 40 years. She created her eponymous line to keep the skin protected from environmental stressors such as pollution, light, climate, and irritants. These products are a client favorite for home care.

  • Rounding out our skincare offerings, KRX and Corthe are two Korean brands focused on anti-aging, acne, and corneotherapy (strengthening the skins barrier). After your facial, we can chat about which products would be best suited for your skin, place and order, and the products will be drop shipped to your doorstep.

I really enjoy her intimate studio, everything from the music to the space is so relaxing. You can tell that Ava really thought about every detail. She also gave me the best facial I have ever had.
