BIO

Liz Quesnelle always had an interest in cosmetics and skin care. While attending college at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, she studied theatre with a focus in costume design and theatrical make-up.

Post-college brought her success in the Marketing and Advertising worlds, but she found desk work unfulfilling and felt herself thinking more and more about skin care. Liz left her marketing job and joined with Dr. Lee West assisting her in the Dermablend Corrective Cosmetic Cover Clinic at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. Liz assisted Dr. West in the writing of an atlas of skin disorders and how they could benefit from corrective cosmetics and also assisted in a patient study sponsored by L’Oreal Cosmetics.

Finding her interests piqued, Liz enrolled in the Aveda Institute and graduated in 2003 with her certification in Esthiology and soon afterwards passed the Illinois State board exam and became a licensed esthetician.

After becoming licensed, Liz founded Le Bon Visage in 2003 with a simple idea in mind – providing quality skin care with an informative and educational bent. Realizing that facials alone are not enough to make a change in her clients’ skin condition, Liz came up with the most comprehensive follow-through available in the Chicago area, complete with personalized product and home-care regimen recommendations via email. By making her expertise accessible to her clients 24-7, her clients see the benefits of their facials carry over into good skin all year round.

Le Bon Visage has been mentioned in the Chicago Tribune, Time Out Chicago, Les Nouvelle Esthetiques, Delush.com and WeddingChicago.com.
