OUR TEAM
Welcome to Element 36 Spa — Pinckney's premier facial spa, where small-town warmth meets advanced, results-driven skincare. Tucked inside the beautiful Hair Works Salon at the corner of Pettysville and M-36, we've been proudly serving Pinckney, Hell, Hamburg, Brighton, Howell, South Lyon, and the greater Livingston County community since 2015. We believe great skin shouldn't feel intimidating — and a trip to the spa should feel like catching up with a friend who just happens to be really, really good at what she does. From your very first Free New Client Consultation to your tenth custom facial, our licensed estheticians — Amber and Chalyn — take the time to get to know you, your skin, your goals, and your life. No cookie-cutter treatments. No upsell pressure. Just honest, expert care tailored to you. Whether you're navigating teenage breakouts, chasing that lit-from-within glow, tackling fine lines, melasma, or stubborn acne, or simply carving out an hour of much-needed quiet, we've got a treatment with your name on it. Our menu blends clinical-grade results with genuine relaxation — think Custom Spa Facials, our signature 360 Skin Retreat, professional chemical peels (from gentle Glow-Getter to medical-grade TCA), Galvanic and Radio Frequency skin tightening, Nano-Infusion, Dermaplaning, Brow Lamination, Lash Lifts, full-body waxing, and Epilfree Permanent Hair Removal. Our Mission To go above and beyond industry expectations by delivering professional, high-quality skincare to everyone inside and outside our community — making our neighbors feel confident, cared for, and beautifully themselves.

Jenn Lucas
Meet Jenn—the founder, dreamer, and heart behind Element 36 Spa. A licensed esthetician with a passion for her craft, Jenn opened our doors in 2015 to bring professional, results-driven skincare to her Pinckney community. Her mission has always been simple: make transformative skincare welcoming and approachable. While an injury prevents Jenn from seeing clients in the treatment room today, she remains the quiet force powering your glow. Behind the scenes, she meticulously researches, crafts, and fine-tunes every facial, peel, and protocol on our menu. Equal parts scientist and artist, she pores over ingredient decks, tests new tools, and studies the chemistry of a perfect peel so you get cutting-edge treatments designed for real life. Jenn’s superpower is translating the latest skincare advances—retinols, peptides, and advanced devices—into services that actually fit your schedule, budget, and goals. She believes a full skin transformation shouldn't require a celebrity wallet. That belief drives our menu, fuels our estheticians' ongoing education, and keeps our technology evolving. Though you may not see her during your appointment, Jenn is right there with you in every product selected, technique taught, and result you take home. Want to thank Jenn? Book an appointment, tell a friend, and share your glow. That’s exactly the community she dreamed of building.
Amber Minock
Hi, I’m Amber! 🤍 I’ve been a licensed esthetician since 2013, and I truly love what I do. For me, skincare has never been about just going through the motions of a facial. I want to understand your skin, your goals, and what’s actually going to work for YOU. Whether you’re dealing with acne, aging, texture, unwanted hair, or you simply need an hour to yourself, my goal is for you to leave feeling confident, refreshed, and taken care of. I specialize in customized facials and advanced skincare treatments, permanent hair removal, waxing, lashes, and brows. I love combining relaxing treatments with results-driven technology to create a plan that makes sense for your skin, your lifestyle, and your budget. My treatment room is a judgment-free zone.

Chalyn Visscher
Meet Chalyn — the gentle hands and warm heart behind some of Element 36's most transformative facial experiences. Sweet, intuitive, and genuinely happy when her clients are, Chalyn believes skincare should feel as good as it looks. Every appointment with her is more than a treatment — it's a full sensory escape, the kind of "me time" that melts away the week before you've even settled into the treatment bed. Chalyn specializes in advanced facial massage techniques — most notably lymphatic drainage and facial sculpting massage — proven methods that lift, tone, de-puff, and define your natural features while calming the nervous system and quieting the mind. Her touch doesn't just enhance your beauty; it restores your peace. What sets Chalyn apart isn't only her skill — it's her curiosity. She's a lifelong learner who genuinely lights up over continuing education, always adding new techniques, ingredients, and technologies to her toolkit so her clients walk out with the very best results modern skincare has to offer. She's equal parts science and soul, and she'll patiently answer every question you have along the way.
