Our Ethos

EDUCATION- As an esthetician spa and training center, education is our niche, and we are the best when it comes to training & educating our staff and students, as well as educating our clients. We will always provide expert knowledge and guidance to help you make informed decisions about your skincare and beauty needs. We believe in being a partner in your skincare/beauty goals and educating and communicating with you every step of they way.
INSPIRATION- We want to inspire you to be open to supporting our educational skincare facility. By supporting our estheticians and esthetic students in their educational journey you inspire them to become the high level proffesionals that they desire be. It is because of these passionate & dedicated students & professionals that we get to provide a beautiful and welcoming space for self care and esthetics treatments!
EMPOWERMENT- We believe in a supportive, empowering & collabrative energy in our business. We are a team based business and we want you to feel that when you walk through our doors. We empower our staff to build authentic and genuine connections with their clients so that when they are ready to venture out on their own, they feel empowered to succeed, and you the client feels empowered to support their journey.

Behind these sentiments is a much larger mission & vision: one that is rooted in IMPACT! We strive to make an impact on lives by elevating the esthetics industry in Colorado, through a collaboration over competition mindset. We believe that it's our future beauty professionals that we get to train and hire that will help to change the negative narrative of the old "competitive" mindset within the beauty industry. And these professionals will set the bar higher for all estheticians in Colorado and beyond. We are so grateful we get to be an active partner in their success, as well as yours as a happy & satisfied client!

Desarae Marhofer is the founder and visionary behind Beautiful You Skincare Studio and Beautiful You Skincare Academy. Born and raised in Pueblo, Colorado, Desarae is a proud wife of 22 years to John Marhofer and the devoted mother of four beautiful children: Miranda, Myles, Mia, and Maxton.

Licensed as an esthetician since 2005, Desarae opened Pueblo’s very first skincare studio and training center in 2009, laying the foundation for what would become a thriving hub of education, empowerment, and community. Her passion for esthetics and education led her to pioneer the development of entrepreneurial estheticians across Colorado.

In 2019, Desarae launched Southern Colorado’s first “Esthetics-Only” Skincare Academy, proudly approved by the Colorado Department of Education and the Division of Private Occupational Schools. Her mission has always been clear: to raise the bar for esthetics education and elevate the beauty industry, not only locally but statewide.

In 2022, Desarae expanded that mission by opening a second academy campus in Littleton, CO—with more to come. Through her work, she has empowered countless estheticians to build successful careers and businesses, creating ripple effects of impact, confidence, and financial independence.

"Empowerment through esthetics and education is my passion. My mission is to create a beautiful space where our students, staff, and clients can learn, grow, and thrive. Whether you're visiting our professional team at the studio or receiving services from our students at the academy, you can expect excellence. Your trust supports the next generation of esthetic leaders—and I can’t wait for you to experience Beautiful You." — Desarae Marhofer
