The Rhinestone Browgirl

Cheers to the weekend, good skincare, and fluffy brows. 🍸🧴🫧

Today marks the beginning of the Year of the Fire Horse and I was born in a Horse year myself. ❤️‍🔥🐎

Red for luck. Strength for the journey. Fire for the becoming.

I’m stepping into this new year with open arms and brand-new intention.

The last 12 months have been the most testing and humbling year of my life, both personally and professionally. Many of you walked beside me through it, loved on me, prayed for me, and kept showing up- even when my energy wasn’t what you nor I wanted it to be.

And recently, saying goodbye to my sweet girl Waffles, my little shadow that so many of you loved, shifted my heart and my perspective more than I can say.

This year, what I bring into the treatment room changes:

more calm

more joy

more warmth

more encouragement

more presence

more care

I want every client to leave my chair feeling better than when they walked in: more confident, more supported, more seen, and deeply cared for. And with their skin more hydrated and supple of course.

Thank you for your staying with me this past year when my energy wasn’t where I wanted it to be and I wasn’t quite myself. Your loyalty and kindness are not lost on me. This year, I’m back and I plan on giving back tenfold.

Cheers to the new year, new possibilities, and riding this fire horse like the wind. ❤️‍🔥🐎 (How perfect is this song for this year?! )

Also, in observance of my newly adopted Chinese heritage for the day:

no cleaning

no scissors or cutting anything

my hair was washed yesterday

only dumplings, sticky rice, fish, and long noodles 🥟

I’m still confused whether I’m supposed to wear red or earth tones today, so I’m wearing all of them

Who else is newly Chinese today and what are you doing in observance of the new year traditions today?!

Your esthetician is so much more than what you see in the treatment room…

Most people meet me as the esthetician- ‘gloves on’, creating transformation one face and one brow at a time. But the parts of me that make me good at this work…were shaped far beyond those four walls.

My faith.

My love of horses.

A lifelong passion for art and antiques.

And my precious girl, Waffles.

These are the threads that weave into everything I do, on and off the table.

Raised in a multigenerational art and antique gallery family and holding a BFA in art history, I learned early to honor craftsmanship, to study detail, and to hold my standards higher than most. That training shaped my eye for both beauty and balance, as well as the way I approach every client- with care and intention.

My faith in Jesus and the truth of Scripture remind me where my strength comes from, where my peace returns, and Who deserves every ounce of credit for anything I have and anything I’ve achieved. He is my foundation, my anchor, my hope.

My sweet Cockapoo girl Waffles- rescued at three and now 13½, always by my side teaches me to soften, stay tender, breathe… and that a spoonful of peanut butter can fix almost anything.

Horses teach me patience, trust, posture, accountability, discipline, intuition, and how to keep holding steady through the unsteady and unpredictable.

I’ve never been one to follow trends or blend into industry noise.

My work is personal.

My craft is lived.

My story is stitched into every facial, every brow, every client I touch.

And if you’ve ever wondered why people say my services feel different…

it’s because the woman behind them is, too.

If we haven’t met yet, I can’t wait to welcome you.

And if you’re already a client, thank you for trusting me with your skin, your brows, and your heart in all we share together at every appointment. ♥️

The Buccal Massage is not simply a treatment, it’s an art form. Performed intraorally, this sculpting technique releases deep tension within the jaw and facial muscles, lifting and recontouring from within.

By improving circulation, lymphatic drainage, and muscle tone, it refines facial contours, enhances collagen stimulation, reduces puffiness, and restores harmony to the complexion.

The result: a softened expression, refined definition, relief from TMJ tension, and that post-facial radiance that feels as if it came from a week of rest.

This is skincare that works beneath the surface: subtle, transformative, and profoundly restoring.

Now available to book at Latigo Beauty as a Sculpt & Lift facial or as an add on to one of our signature facials.

Beauty is my life, but my life isn’t always beautiful.

I was raised in a world where beauty was curated, details mattered, and refinement was second nature.

I lost that world.

But here’s what rebuilding it really looks like, at least for me:

A negative bank balance. A mattress on the floor. A couch I dragged from a dumpster five years ago that I still sit on.

Every single dollar I make goes back into my business. Into inventory. Into education. Into creating something I believe in with every ounce of my being.

I don’t have investors. I don’t have a spouse or a safety net.

What I do have is conviction, faith in God, hands that heal, and a client list full of people who trust me.

And still some days I feel like a fraud.

How can I sell luxury skincare while living like this?

Then I remember: I am the luxury.

My knowledge, my care, my commitment, my attention to detail, my focus on you, my honesty.

If you’re building something and feel like you’re falling behind, this post is for you.

You are not behind. You are just in the middle of it.

And in this house, we build with both hands, full hearts, and sometimes… no bed frame.

I didn’t get lucky. I got strategic. I got consistent.

This is what happens when you stop chasing trends and start treating skin like a discipline.

Hyperpigmentation. Hormonal melasma. Texture. Tone. All corrected with precision.

I built a regimen. I followed it. And now I build them for others.

A curated membership is coming for those who are done dabbling and ready to fade for real.

No foundation. No filter. Just skin that tells a new story.

This radiant transformation is the result of a customized skincare regimen I designed specifically for my client’s needs, that will be adjusted, and elevated as my client’s skin evolves.

We’re only halfway through the treatment phase so I can’t wait to see the total transformation.

She started with a compromised barrier, visible inflammation, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Today, she has most importantly a strong barrier, a clear, even-toned and perfectly hydrated canvas protected by SPF.

✨ And yes, this was achieved with skincare products, microneedling, and peels alone. No lasers. Just expert eyes, my client’s compliance and consistency to her routine, with a strategy I tailored to her individual biology, not a trend.

Whether you’ve got a small smattering of stubborn pigment, you spent the 80’s sunbathing covered in baby oil that left you with horrible hyperpigmentation, you’ve suffered from melasma for forever, or feel like your perimenopause or pregnancy hormone fluctuation launched a full-scale pigment rebellion… you’re not a lost cause. I promise.

As Austin’s leading melasma and hyperpigmentation specialist, I have a 100% success rate with clients who follow their customized protocol even if they’ve tried everything else and nothing has worked so far.

At Latigo Beauty, I don’t believe in hopeless skin, I believe in informed skincare.

✨You’re next.✨

I’ve been quiet lately because I’ve felt creatively stuck.

Stuck in my head. Stuck in the “shoulds.” Stuck trying to find the perfect thing to say.

But I’m learning that sometimes, showing up imperfectly is better than not showing up at all.

Creativity doesn’t always shout. Sometimes it hides behind fatigue, doubt, or simply too much life happening at once.

Some seasons aren’t for performing. They’re for pruning. For tending the inner work. For sitting still while God rearranges the pieces.

So this is me, still showing up, still building, still pouring into my clients with everything I have, even when the algorithm doesn’t see it.

If you’ve been feeling the same, I see you.
If you’ve been waiting to book, I’d love to have you.
If you’ve been wondering where I’ve been, I’m right here, still creating beauty and healing, one face at a time. Forever grateful. ♥️🙏🏻

XO, Reagan
