KESSANDRA BENJAMIN, AP, LE

Advanced Practice Esthetician + Brow Artist | The Skin Narrative


Kessandra has over 10 years experience in the beauty industry helping people feel more radiant from the inside out. Her start in retail sales inspired her to go to school for esthetics and after her graduation in 2018, she has always stayed passionate about the skin and caring for her clients.

After working her way up within the industry, she managed a popular facial bar throughout her pregnancy and first year of motherhood. This experience helped her grow into the business owner she is today, but left her wanting to be able to give her clients more. This was the push she needed to finally start her own business after 6 years of being an esthetician.

Kess opened The Skin Narrative in September 2023 and is committed to giving her clients the best experience every time. She has her Acne Specialist Certification through Face Reality, an award-winning acne product line and is fervently passionate about healing acne. She carries Face Reality, Glymed, along with holistic lines like One Love Organics and Botnia. Each facial is customized to every individual’s needs and tailored to her clients’ lifestyles and budgets. Kess also has over 7 years experience with brow shaping and lash lifts allowing her to be your go to for brow waxing, lamination, and tinting.

Outside of work she loves to cuddle her two cats and have her daily dance parties with her son and husband. She loves writing, reading, interior design, doing deep-dives into psychology topics, coffee dates, and thrift shopping.

As someone who is neurodivergent, Kess is deeply passionate about creating a sensory friendly and safe experience for her clients and empowering them to appreciate their bodies and brains for the beautifully complex systems they are. Kess is passionate about mental health and the mind-body-skin connection. If you are looking for a therapeutic experience and holistic approach to healing your skin, you’re in the right place.
