Dee Barrera

Educator

I have been passionate about the beauty industry since I was in high school after being inspired by my Cosmetology Teacher. I am a graduate of EIE’s Full Time Esthetics Diploma with CIDESCO Accreditation. This has given me the opportunity to live and work in the UK, which made me learn their side of the beauty industry.

I have worked in spas and dermatology clinics learning different treatments and product lines. The beauty industry is always evolving and I am excited to teach and learn new discoveries.

With my knowledge and skills of the industry, I would like to be an inspiration to all the students and to be able to bring out their individuality and their creativity. My goal is to give students support by welcoming them into an amazing industry.
