Anakaren Jurad

Certified Esthetician Facials, Waxing,
Chemical Peels, Full Body Skincare

Hello guys I’m Anakaren, often referred to as Ana, and I am delighted to introduce myself as a recently established solo esthetician. My lifelong passion for skincare has been a driving force in my journey, one that began in Glenwood Springs where I was born and raised. Despite initially pursuing college at CMC, my life took a transformative turn during my first year, leading me to decide to dedicate myself to the field of Esthetics and the scientific intricacies of skin.

In 2022, I completed my education and received my certification at Lash & Company LLC, equipped with a robust foundation of knowledge and an unwavering determination to embark on my entrepreneurial venture. As I navigate this exciting chapter in my career, I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to expand my expertise and skills alongside esteemed colleagues and mentors within the beauty community.
Beyond the realm of esthetics, I find joy in spending time with my beloved 2-year-old puppy, Sheriff Woody O, named in homage to Toy Story. Whether we’re frolicking at local dog parks, engaged in a game of fetch, or exploring the scenic trails of our valley through hikes and drives you’ll often find us adventuring the outdoors.

I look forward to the continuous growth that lies ahead in my professional journey, and I am excited to be part of the Returning Balance Therapies staff team here in Glenwood Springs.
