Jessica Sioux Johnson

A Trailblazer in Beauty, Empowerment & Transformation

Jessica Sioux Johnson is more than a beauty expert—she’s a visionary, a mentor, and a catalyst for transformation. A multi-award-winning Licensed Aesthetician and Permanent Makeup Artist, Jessica has spent the past 15 years redefining beauty and confidence through advanced skincare, permanent makeup, and aesthetic innovation. Her work isn’t just about changing appearances; it’s about elevating self-worth, igniting confidence, and empowering others to step into their best selves.

Founder & Entrepreneur: Living Beautifully Spa & Aesthetic Academy

As the founder and heart behind Living Beautifully Spa & Aesthetic Academy, Jessica has created more than just a business—she’s built a movement. A sanctuary where beauty meets education, her academy is a place where professionals master their craft, find their purpose, and turn their dreams into reality. She’s not just teaching techniques; she’s mentoring the next generation of industry leaders, inspiring them to create impact and success on their own terms.

Innovator & Industry Leader: Pioneering the Future of Aesthetics

Jessica has never been one to follow trends—she sets them. In 2010, she became one of Nebraska’s first practitioners of Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) with PRP, now known as Microneedling, pioneering a technique that is now recognized worldwide. Her expertise in microneedling, permanent makeup, and eyelash extensions has made her a highly sought-after speaker, trainer, and industry leader. With a passion for staying ahead of the curve, she continues to push boundaries, ensuring her clients and students receive the very best in cutting-edge beauty.

Transforming Skin, Restoring Confidence

Jessica’s love for skincare is personal. After helping her own sons battle severe acne, she became deeply committed to helping others heal their skin and reclaim their confidence. Specializing in advanced anti-aging treatments, acne correction, and permanent makeup artistry, Jessica takes a holistic and science-backed approach to achieving natural, long-lasting results. Whether it’s through advanced medical based skin care treatments, or her signature permanent makeup techniques, she believes in enhancing natural beauty, not masking it.

The Art of Permanent Makeup: Wake Up Beautiful

As a Licensed Permanent Makeup Artist since 2017, Jessica has perfected the art of microblading, powder brows, lip blush, eyeliner tattoos, and scalp micropigmentation. Her meticulous technique and artistic precision ensure that every enhancement is tailored to her client’s unique features—effortlessly natural, flawlessly beautiful. Her mission? To help people feel radiant, confident, and empowered—every single day.

Beauty from the Inside Out: A Holistic Approach to Skin Health

Jessica knows that true beauty starts from within. As a Nutrition Consultant, she combines her skincare expertise with internal wellness, offering tailored guidance on nutrition, gut health, and toxin elimination to help clients achieve radiant skin from the inside out. Because when you nourish your body, your skin—and your confidence—glow.

More Than Beauty: A Heart for Giving Back

Jessica’s impact extends far beyond the treatment room. A former Miss Omaha for America and Miss Nebraska Continents, she has used her platform to advocate for domestic abuse awareness and mental health initiatives. She actively gives back to the community through mentorship, volunteer work, and empowerment programs, partnering with organizations like the The American Red Cross, Women’s Center for Advancement, the Stephen Center Homeless Shelter, and Big Brothers Big Sisters. Her mission? To lift others up, inspire change, and make a lasting impact.

Awards, Recognition & Industry Influence

Jessica’s talent and dedication have earned her numerous accolades, including second place in The Skin Games for Permanent Makeup and a prestigious role as a judge at the international competition. Her career is a testament to resilience, passion, and an unstoppable drive to elevate the industry.

Live Your Dream. Live Beautifully.

Jessica’s journey—from a devoted stay-at-home mom to an industry leader and beauty entrepreneur—is proof that anything is possible when passion meets purpose. 

Her mission is clear: to inspire others to follow their dreams, embrace their unique beauty, and live life with confidence and authenticity.

At Living Beautifully Spa & Academy, she’s doing more than enhancing beauty—she’s changing lives. And she wants YOU to step into your power and Live Your Life Beautifully.
