About Us

Ciao Bella Skincare
opened its doors in March of 2011 when Newburyport local, Karen Damon, decided that after years of experience in the field of esthetics, it was time to create her own relaxing spa-like retreat for her clients.

Karen DamonKaren graduated from Catherine Hinds Institute of Esthetics. Prior to receiving her education, she worked in the Medical Spa industry where she discovered her love of skin. She was also trained by Laser Nurse Consultants working closely with nurses and providing laser skincare and hair removal treatments.

As owner of Ciao Bella Skincare, Karen prides herself on being the 'empress of the epidermis.' She loves to work with her clients to help transform their skin to become more youthful and healthy. She enjoys performing chemical peels as much as giving a teenager their first facial.

Using scientifically formulated PCAskin® skincare products and providing extensive client education, Karen focuses on the individual needs of every skin type and client to help you reach your skincare goals.
