📹 Color Up Educator - Amanda Whisnant

Hi, I'm Amanda, and I'm the owner and licensed esthetician at Ruhe 756 in Fond  du  Lac,  WI. My approach to skincare is deeply rooted in transparency, medical insight, and personal experience—and my goal is always to create a safe space for every client.

I graduated from the Aveda Institute of Beauty & Wellness in 2021, but my journey into skin health began much earlier. Prior to becoming an esthetician, I worked in the medical field for 10 years. This background is crucial to how I view skin health, grounding my practice in anatomy, physiology, and clinical understanding.

My personal life heavily informs my advocacy. As a mother to three boys—one of whom has Albinism—I understand the critical importance of proactive skin care and protection. Having navigated my own health journeys with weight loss surgery in 2022 and PCOS polycystic ovary syndrome, I’ve experienced firsthand how interconnected gut health, hormones, and skin truly are. This allows me to guide clients to resources that address core issues, not just symptoms.

I was the first and so far, only esthetician to offer full spectrum C.B.D. Facials in Fond  du  Lac and the surrounding areas. This passion stems from my deep commitment to providing cutting-edge, effective wellness solutions.

My primary goal for the spa and myself is to cultivate a safe space for all kinds of kinds, where everyone feels welcome to be their authentic self. I want to help clients through their skin health journey while constantly reminding them that they are important, they are worthy, and they deserve self-love.

I am deeply passionate about my work and believe in providing each client with a complete understanding of what we are doing and why—getting into the ins and outs of every treatment. My favorite services to perform are facials and Brazilians, but I truly love the detail and intimacy of all my services.

Fun Fact: I lived in Alaska for nine years!
