Our Story

Hi, I’m Gillian—but most know me as GiGi. I’m a dual-licensed aesthetician, laser hair removal technician, and founder of GlowXGiGi Skin & Beauty Studio here in Dallas, TX. I was born and raised in Panama City, Panama. After my 12th birthday I moved to Germany with my family. in 2005 we moved to the USA and have called Texas home for the past 20 years.

GlowXGiGi was founded in Austin, Texas in 2018. My Passion for make up artistry lead me deepen and expand my expertise beyond the make up brushes. Before I ever held a lash tweezer or mixed a custom peel, I always knew I was passionate about people. I loved learning about history and the arts. These studies shaped how I understand people—their expressions, their healing, and their connection to beauty.

I earned my Baccalaureate of Science degree in psychology from Texas A&M Central Texas in 2016. Shortly after, I spent several meaningful years in social services working with unhoused veterans. Still, I knew I was being called to work more intimately with self-image, confidence, and care.That journey led me to Aveda Arts in Austin, where I trained in esthiology. I later expanded my skills at Texas Laser and Aesthetics. I completed advanced training in lash enhancements, dermaplaning, microblading, and laser hair removal.

Since then, I’ve had the honor of working in both holistic and clinical environments. My journey began with calming rituals at Milk + Honey Spa. It continued with the advanced treatments offered at Saxon MD Facial Plastic Surgery. There, I gained hands-on experience in medical-grade facials, microneedling, RF (Radio Frequency) microneedling like Morpheus8 and IPL (Intense Pulse Light). microneedling It deepened my understanding of leadership, detail, and service.

As a bilingual provider, I’m passionate about creating a space where every client feels seen, heard, and deeply cared for. My philosophy is simple; when your skin is healthy and your beauty rituals are aligned with who you are-confidence flows naturally.

GlowXGiGi is more than an aesthetic studio—it’s a space where intention meets artistry, and where every service is tailored to you.
