Danyell Dykstra
Spa Aesthetician
With over five years of experience in the aesthetics industry, Danyell graduated from the Alberta Academy of Aesthetics in March 2020. Her passion for aesthetics stems from a genuine desire to help clients feel comfortable and confident in their own skin. She is fascinated by the science behind natural ingredients, such as seeds and flowers, and their diverse benefits for skin health.
Danyell’s favourite services include facials and reflexology, which she loves to offer as a way to promote relaxation, well-being, and skin wellness. What she values most about working in this space is the incredible community of women she collaborates with — always eager to share knowledge, experiences, and support one another.
Outside of work, Danyell enjoys spending time outdoors, working with her horses and mules. Fun facts about her beloved animals: Mules are a hybrid cross between a horse and a donkey, known for their kindness and resilience, but they do not tolerate mistreatment. Did you know that horseshoes are made from keratin, the same protein found in human hair and nails? Most horses have 205 bones in their bodies, whereas humans have 206.
Danyell is dedicated to helping her clients look and feel their best, combining her expertise with a caring approach.
