Elaine, the visionary behind The Bare Essentials, hails from the South Bay and earned her degree in Economics and Finance from California State University Long Beach in 2011. Having initially pursued a career in banking and investments, Elaine encountered a personal struggle with adult acne. Despite seeking assistance from dermatologists and estheticians, she found no relief. Determined to address her own skin issues, she embarked on a journey by enrolling in esthetician school. This transformative experience ignited her fervor for empowering women to embrace their beauty and bolster their confidence. In 2019, Elaine launched Lashed Laine, navigating through multiple pandemic-induced closures. Eventually, in 2022, the establishment underwent a rebranding as The Bare Essentials, reflecting Elaine's comprehensive commitment to beauty and wellness.
