MEET THE TEAM
Founder & CEO
Emillee Swank
Hey everyone! I'm Emillee, licensed esthetician, Face Reality Acne Expert, and founder of SWANKY. I've been in the beauty industry for six years, first as a microblader before moving on to esthetics. I grew up loving all things beauty and "big city." My mom and I's yearly trip to NYC and visit to spas all the celebrities were spotted at inspired me to bring the luxurious feel back to home, and I truly feel my team and I have created an environment that feels elevated yet homey. I opened SWANKY on a whim and as a one-woman show - newly single mom, living in a basement apartment, with only my car to my name. A lot has changed since then, and I still know I'm right where I want and need to be. My favorite services are Hydrafacials, Face Reality Acne Bootcamp, and chemical peels!

Fun fact: I have TWO sets of twins!

Esthetician
Brooke Elliott
Hi everyone! I'm Brooke, licensed esthetician, and I've been with SWANKY since June of 2022. I've known this career was right for me since I was young; I've struggled with acne starting at 10 years old, so I know the feeling of wanting to hide in one's own skin. Everyone deserves to feel beautiful, and I love that my job allows me the opportunity to make this happen. My favorite services to provide are facials (especially our Essential Facial), and full body waxes! When I'm not working, you'll find me playing volleyball with my fiancé.
