About Us
Meet Mary Stinson
Founder of Mynx Aesthetik & Master Esthetician
Mary Stinson is the founder and visionary behind Mynx Aesthetik. A licensed esthetician since 2006, she began her journey after graduating from the Aveda Institute in Seattle. Over the years, she honed her expertise both behind the treatment chair and as a traveling educator, sharing her knowledge and deepening her experience across the aesthetics industry.
In 2013, Mary established Mynx Aesthetik, originally a boutique studio, with a clear mission: to create a space where results, community, and client-centered care come together. Under her leadership, Mynx has grown into a respected wellness collective known for its personalized approach and elevated standards of service.
In 2023, Mary expanded her vision further by acquiring and renovating The Ruston Building, now the permanent home of Mynx Aesthetik. During this time, she also pursued and earned her Master Esthetician License, reinforcing her commitment to continuous learning and professional development.
Most recently, Mary has expanded her service offerings to include buccal massage, an advanced, intraoral facial technique that works from within the muscles of the face to sculpt, lift, and release deep tension. This newly introduced service reflects her dedication to staying at the forefront of innovative, results-driven treatments while continuing to embrace a holistic approach to skin health and facial wellness.
Mary brings both passion and purpose to every aspect of her work. Leading with intention, she blends advanced skincare techniques with a grounded, holistic philosophy that defines the Mynx brand. Outside the clinic, Mary enjoys strength training at Vie Athletics, practicing yoga at Tuladhara, exploring the outdoors, and spending time with her beloved dog, Hazel. Her belief in healthy skin, positive energy, and purposeful living continues to shape the culture of Mynx Aesthetik.
Meet Melissa
Master Esthetician
Melissa earned her Master Aesthetics License in 2017 after completing the Advanced Aesthetics Program at Clover Park Technical College. Shortly after, she relocated to Florida to assist in opening a high-end medical spa, where she gained hands-on experience in advanced treatments and luxury skincare services.
Since returning to the Pacific Northwest, Melissa has been an integral member of the Mynx Aesthetik team. Joining in 2019, she continues to advance her skills and leadership in the industry. She is a Connect Certified Master HydraFacialist and specializes in a variety of treatments, including Laser Hair Removal, Dermaplaning, RF and traditional Microneedling, waxing, and buccal massage, an advanced intraoral technique designed to sculpt, lift, and release tension within the facial muscles. This addition reflects her commitment to offering innovative, results-driven treatments that support both skin health and overall facial wellness.
Melissa brings a thoughtful, client-centered approach to her work, focusing on both results and the client experience. Outside of the treatment room, she enjoys life as a wife and mother of two, balancing family and professional life with care and commitment.
