Dec 31, 2024 06:00AM ● By Jill SlaterIn the world of esthetics, few names resonate as powerfully as Melissa Cundiff. With an impressive 40-year career, Melissa has established herself as a leading figure in the beauty industry, making significant contributions as a licensed esthetician and cosmetology instructor in both Alabama and Florida.
Her journey began in Birmingham, Alabama, where she first stepped into the limelight as a prestigious fragrance model for upscale department stores during her high school years. This early exposure to the beauty world ignited a passion that would shape her entire career.
In 2002, driven by a desire to educate and empower others in the art of skincare, Melissa founded Birmingham and Daphne’s first esthetician school, Skinactics School of Aesthetics. Since its inception, the institution has trained over 1,500 students, earned advanced state board approval, and set a high standard for esthetic education in the region. Melissa’s commitment to excellence has enabled her to share her extensive knowledge with aspiring estheticians, helping them build rewarding careers in the beauty industry.
Melissa's journey didn’t stop there. In 2012, she launched Skintrenzixs SkinSchool in Birmingham, further solidifying her role as a key educator in the field. Her expertise has taken her worldwide, providing training for leading skincare and spa/medical equipment companies, showcasing her dedication to staying at the forefront of industry trends and technologies.
Relocating to Fort Walton Beach in 2016 marked another pivotal chapter in Melissa's career. Her exceptional talent and dedication were recognized when she was awarded Destin’s Best Esthetician by Destin VIP Magazine, a testament to her skills and the loyalty of her clients. In subsequent years, Melissa further cemented her authority in the esthetics community by serving as a judge for the prestigious Skin Games worldwide competition in both 2020 and 2021.
In 2024, Melissa and her husband, Greg, embarked on a new adventure, opening Skintrenzixs MediSpa, a state-of-the-art facility offering advanced skincare treatments. Alongside the MediSpa, Melissa introduced Skintrenzixs Skincare Products, meticulously crafted to be pH-balanced and protect the skin’s delicate acid mantle.
