Trin pronounced as (Treen) is short for Katrina. 

Katrina is no longer taking new clients for waxing services, however will consider taking new client(s) who are serious in improving the condition of their skin for the better. To be considered a client, one will be put on a specific at home skin care regimen designed by Katrina purchased at Trin Spa Skin and Wellness. Once the client has been on a skin regime for a minimum of 8 weeks, then may proceed with a facial appointment with Katrina. This program insures each facial appointment will receive ultimate results. Clients may also be on a designed home care program by Katrina without receiving in service treatments. Katrina works with many clients with diverse skincare needs, shipping product orders nationwide. 

Anyone that has ever met Merissa can tell she has a passion for the industry and loves to share her knowledge with others. Since 2006, when starting her career in beauty, she has always been eager to mentor other professionals and share her experiences. She is a licensed esthetician and Nail technician from Connecticut

She is a full time entrepreneur that is very active in the esthetic community. When she is not seeing her clients, you can find her educating the latest brow and lash techniques with Elleebana. As an Elleebana USA educator and distributor she keeps very busy. She loves teaching classes, traveling and educating at trades shows around the country.

Her passion for the industry does not stop there. You can also find her working hard to help others in their businesses. In 2020 she opened Face & Body Institute of New England. An advanced education center for licensed professionals. She wanted to create a space for beauty professionals to get quality education and have access to professional only supplies, and help entrepreneurs like her further their career.

Since opening she continues to grow with new classes and more educators to help others learn a variety of treatments in the beauty industry. Seeing her vision come to life has been a dream come true and she is thankful everyday to do something she truly loves and enjoys every day.

My name is Melissa Charter and I am currently a Business Development Manager for Repechage.  I have my esthetics license from both Massachusetts and Connecticut.

My love for skincare ignited when I was an at-home consultant working in the beauty industry.  In 2011, I decided to attend esthetics school and became a Licensed Esthetician.  Once school was finished, I opened my own small business, and worked as a skin specialist until 2020.  During that time, I also taught at Paul Mitchell The School North Haven, participated in The Skin Games for two consecutive years, and took multiple skincare and makeup classes to continue my education.  My most recent experience was working as a model for Pearls and Camo where I truly enjoyed being creative with the clothing designer and photographer on set, as well as helping other models prepare their skin for the photoshoot.

I have been passionate about esthetics since I received my very first facial on a cruise and always wanted to work in the beauty industry.  I strive to continuously learn, evolve, and grow both personally as well as professionally.  My goal for this role is to provide extraordinary support to the participants while becoming a valuable esthetician in The Skin Games community.
