Go Makeup Free with Confidence
“Love what you do and the money will follow.” This is the common mantra shared by scores of successful business owners I’ve interviewed over the course of my 20+ years publishing career. The idea obviously being that in pursuing your passion, you’ll pour your heart, soul, time and talent into your respective entrepreneurial endeavor – and the resulting work ethic and offering will invariably attract your desired clientele.
In chatting with Tiffany Tovar, it’s clear the owner of the Huntington Beach-based Elegant Esthetics has charted a similar path to success albeit via an unexpected route. Initially intending to pursue a career in lash extensions, Tiffany learned that becoming a licensed esthetician was a prerequisite. Once she started school, she quickly discovered that skin health and the transformative power of professional skincare was her true calling.
“During my training, I became deeply fascinated with facial treatments, customized skincare routines and the science behind healthy, radiant skin,” she says. “My dedication to the industry led me to complete a certification in oncology esthetics, allowing me to provide specialized care for individuals undergoing cancer treatment. My goal has always been to help people feel confident and bring a sense of joy back into their lives through skincare.”
Since opening her salon in December 2023, Tiffany has earned a reputation for helping clients feel more confident in their natural beauty, achieving flawless, healthy skin so they can go makeup free if they desire.
Specializing in advanced skin revision therapy, Tiffany customizes every treatment to address the needs of individual skin concerns, whether it’s overcoming acne, combatting signs of aging, or attaining a complete skin rejuvenation.

“With the right approach, every skin challenge has a solution,” she says. “As the body’s largest organ, your skin deserves to be a top priority. By maintaining a dedicated morning and evening routine, along with consistent professional care, achieving healthful, youthful skin is within reach.”
As she continued expanding my knowledge, Tiffany discovered DMK Skin Revision at a Nanspro Convention – its approach to skin health “stood out from any other product line I had encountered.”
“DMK’s advanced formulations and treatments go beyond surface-level skincare, working at a deeper level to restore and optimize skin function,” she says. “I truly believe in their philosophy and incorporate it into my practice to help my clients achieve lasting results.”
Among the many clients to give Tiffany a 5-Star satisfaction rating, Samantha Miller adds that Tiffany “took her time with me to understand my skin issues and worked on those areas … not to mention her massage skills are incredible! Her knowledge in skincare kept me confident she would work her MAGIC and she definitely did! The before and after was a dramatic change in my pores and inflammation … the two-hour drive from Calabasas was well worth it!”
Celebrating her 47th birthday this month, Tiffany’s own complexion serves as a testament to her dedication and skill.
“If you’ve discovered your passion, as I have with skincare, never stop believing in yourself,” she says. “Challenge yourself every day, continue learning, and remain dedicated to your growth. Success comes from persistence and continuous improvement. I am living proof that with hard work and determination, dreams do come true—so keep going and never give up.”
