Meet your trainer
Stefanie Forrest was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, and now resides in Chapin, South Carolina, with her family. She entered the beauty industry in 2007. Shortly after earning her license, Stefanie became a mother and chose to dedicate the next thirteen years to raising her four children and being a stay-at-home mom. She is happily married to her high school sweetheart, whose unwavering support has encouraged her to continue pursuing her dreams.
Although motherhood became her primary focus, Stefanie never lost her passion for the beauty industry. In 2020, she decided it was time to pursue her long-time dream of becoming an esthetician. After graduating from esthetics school in 2021 and becoming licensed in Colorado, she jumped into the fast-paced world of professional waxing. While she loved helping clients feel confident through body waxing, she knew she wanted to expand her expertise and offer advanced lash and brow services. Stefanie had been introduced to lash lifts and tints during esthetics school, but she wanted to deepen her knowledge and provide the highest level of results for her clients. In January 2022, she completed her first Elleebana certification in lash lamination and became the sole provider of lash lamination and tinting services at the salon where she worked. She soon completed additional training in brow lamination as well.
Stefanie quickly fell in love with Elleebana, its products, and the artistry behind lash and brow services. She takes great pride in creating beautiful, noticeable results while maintaining the precision and attention to detail that these services require. Helping clients feel confident and beautiful is what continues to fuel her passion for the industry.
After living in Colorado, Texas, and Kansas, Stefanie and her family eventually made their way to South Carolina, where she continues to build her career and serve her clients in the beauty industry. Outside of the salon, Stefanie enjoys spending time outdoors, staying active, and making memories with her family. She is incredibly grateful for the endless support of her family, who continually inspire her to grow, pursue her goals, and become the best version of herself.
Important Notes
We don’t leave you to your own devices and guide you through your treatments carefully on the day, perfecting your techniques and understanding of the treatment. You are welcome to contact us after your day of training with any questions that you might have, feedback of any kind, and the correspondence continues as you submit your before and after images for assessment.
Elleebana training is for Licensed Professionals. Proof of licensure is required to take any of the Elleebana training courses. Current cosmetology or esthetician students can also take training courses. All classes are taught by myself, an Elleebana Certified Trainer, and are typically held at my salon in Chapin, South Carolina from 9:00am to 4:15pm. I love being able to sit with each student and give them 1 on 1 attention. Therefore, classes max out at 2 students to insure everyone receives this attention.
