In 2015, owner Rebecca Gardner, lost her hair due to an autoimmune disease called Alopecia Areata. Life had thrown some sour lemons, full speed, at Rebecca. Since she no longer had hair to cover up her hormonal acne and acne scarring, she went on a journey to improve her skin, discovering a new love for skincare and makeup.

Her hair started to grow back after a couple years of self-care, and she decided to turn her love of skincare into a career. Rebecca attended Aveda Institute of Columbus and received her Esthetician License in April of 2017.

Fast forward to 2024, Rebecca is making her dreams come true by opening Refined Rind. She is looking forward to serving the Cincinnati community by providing skincare and waxing services.
