Angela Cole has been passionate about skincare since her teenage years while trying to manage her own skin concerns. Searching for answers about her own skin, she enrolled in the Greater Southern Tier BOCES Esthetics program. Angela graduated in 2017, and obtained her New York State Esthetics License. She went on to manage and train other service providers within the region which allowed her to gain knowledge of the spa industry from all sides. An avid equestrian of 27 years Angela can be found on the back of a horse, or playing with her daughter and various animals. She hopes to one day be able to open an animal sanctuary.
