DEISY M SUAREZ ESTHETICIAN & CMT
OUR FOUNDER:
Hailing from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, Deisy Suarez immigrated to the United States when she was just eight years old. Raised in New York City, she was passionate about beauty and wellness from the start. Although her family struggled, she found solace in creating scrubs and beauty treatments with the little ingredients she would find in the kitchen. From using leftover avocado for face masks to practicing makeup, Deisy created her first clientele when she was merely 12 years old. After assisting a Mary-Kay and Avon rep and working at her aunt’s salon, Deisy eventually became an esthetician and a certified makeup artist crafting her skills at the Learning Institute of Beauty Science and Marinello School of Beauty.
Continuing her education, she earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing from UTESA, in Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic and received her Western and Eastern massage certification as a CMT at the National Holistic Institute. In 2016 she received her Certificate in Spa & Hospitality Management from the University of California Irvine.
In 2004, Deisy founded her very first company: Desuar Cosmetics. Making her dream a reality, she created a Body Lotion and the Dual Action Enzyme Papaya Cleanser, which was formulated with skincare experts in South Korea.
In 2010, she went on to open her first Desuar Spa in Downtown Los Angeles. Expanding to three locations, including Hollywood and Monterey, Deisy’s success story continues. A published author, Deisy wrote “Marriage Material” and is currently writing her second book, “Holy Skin.”
She speaks at top beauty summits and events, including for American Spa Magazine, “Women, Weath, Warriors” and more. Giving back, Deisy has contributed to Innocence Project, The Orangutan Project, Downtown LA Jewish Community Center, LAPD Central Boosters, Dignity Health, Downtown Women’s Center and more. She also volunteers for Living Water Children’s Centre in Tanzania, Africa where she applies her touch therapy to healing orphan children.
An accomplished businesswoman and beauty expert, Deisy Suarez juggles her career success and motherhood.
