A Little About Me
Master Facialist | Celebrity Skin Expert | Founder of Atelier Izumi
Welcome to Atelier Izumi, where artistry, expertise, and empowerment meet to transform the beauty and wellness industry.
My name is Izumi Montenero, a licensed esthetician, registered nurse, and dedicated mentor with over 17 years of experience. I’ve worked with more than 30,000 clients, including celebrities and beauty influencers, delivering transformative facial and body treatments. My personal struggles with acne, atopic skin, and allergies inspired my passion for skincare, leading me to innovate and develop my signature Contouring Detox Facial—a unique protocol blending contouring, detoxification, lifting, tightening, and anti-aging benefits.
With seven years of experience as a registered nurse, including time as an ER nurse, I bring a deep understanding of medical principles, anatomy, and client care into my approach. My medical background enhances my ability to deliver results-driven, safe, and transformative treatments.
Atelier Izumi was born from my vision of empowering beauty and wellness professionals by providing the tools, training, and support needed to achieve excellence in their craft. As a certified cybersecurity professional, I also prioritize innovation and safety in all aspects of business and client interactions.
Through Atelier Izumi, I am committed to fostering a global community of high-level artists, therapists, and businesses. Our mission is to elevate skills, inspire wellness, and lead with purpose, offering tailored training programs, business consulting, and artist management. From luxury head spa training to wellness treatment development, Atelier Izumi connects professionals with opportunities to excel and create meaningful client experiences.
Together, let’s shape the future of beauty and wellness—grounded in excellence, guided by purpose, and inspired by a passion for holistic health.
