About Your Estheticians

Founded by Dean Brown, a beauty professional that has been in the industry for over 18 years, illume was created from the trajectory of his career as a makeup artist turned brow whisperer to being a fully licensed esthetician.

Loving what transformations could be done by framing the face with beautiful brows, Dean sought out training by celebrity brow artist Damone Roberts to further his skillset. He has also been engaged in the online brow artist community for years and has sought out mentorship from some of the industry’s finest. After esthetics school and seeing the true power of clinical grade skincare, Dean now combines his brow mastery skills and love for providing relaxing yet results driven facials all in one spot.

When Dean is not beautifying his clients, he enjoys exploring restaurants, going to concerts, taking it easy with a favorite show, and all things Beyoncé.
