It was in 2018 that LOOK Aesthetic Atelier joined the downtown landscape. Located on 2nd Ave NE, just a half a block off of Main Street, the business is owned by former Minot Physician, Dr. Edmundo Justino.
Dr. Justino turned to a former Trinity RN, Julie Kalamaha to take over management of LOOK. With over 26 years as a nurse and a Minot resident, Kalamaha joined the staff in 2021. “Dr. Justino puts faith in the staff at LOOK” according to Kalamaha “he is proud of how far LOOK has come and the services that it offers.”
By definition, an Atelier is an artist or designer’s studio or workroom. It may seem unusual that a medical aesthetics center would be called an atelier, but in reality the specialists at LOOK Aesthetic Atelier are artists in their own right. Trained as Nurse Practitioners, Registered Nurses and Estheticians, the quality of the services you will receive as LOOK could be compared to a work of art for your skin.
“Our clients are both male and female, and pretty much any age” according to Kalamaha “and they may have started at LOOK for something as simple as a neuro injection such as Botox, or laser hair removal but then they add on services and become long term clients.” Additional services can include lash extensions, a variety of facial options, tattoo removal and a variety of skincare needs of their guests. If a potential client is looking for waxing services, microneedling and a variety of other services “they should go to our website at https://www.lookaestheticatelier.com. Not only can they get a feel for what they do, but if they want they can schedule an appointment online” says Kalamaha “our consultations are free, and we take time to explain all of our services with our first-time clients, because our goal is client satisfaction, which leads to them being a long term client.”
The staff at LOOK include Kalamaha as manager, Kodi Keller who is office manager, Tatum Fleming at the front desk, Tiauna Davis who is the Esthetician and Nora Waselenchuk, FNP, and is the Medical Director.
The providers at LOOK Aesthetic Atelier love the Minot community and the small local feel it offers. They also love that they are able to provide a service to military clientele by being able to send and receive electronic records so that someone who is moving to Minot can continue the services they were receiving elsewhere. And when it comes time to move LOOK can provide those records to another medical aesthetics center.
“We also have a Military Appreciation event in May, which has been very popular” says Kalamaha “and if you are looking for the perfect gift we have LOOK gift cards.”
With the dry weather of the winter months, it might just be the perfect time to give LOOK Aesthetic Atelier a call for a facial to help your skin look its best. You can count on a professional service with a warmth and welcome that is second to none.
