A Little Backstory

(about me, my career, and my business’s admittedly weird name)

I’m Madison, owner and operator of Lügn Esthetics LLC. Before opening my own spa, I spent more than 10 years in the industry working as an esthetician, manager, and educator. During that time I realized that what I do for a living goes so much deeper than surface-level.

While I do work topically to achieve ideal results, my approach is designed to support a client’s overall well-being. I consider myself a detective, always seeking answers to all things skin and health.

Don’t be surprised if I ask you questions like:

What are your stress levels like?
What are you eating?
Are you well-supported emotionally?
How is your mental health?
Are you sexually healthy? (no joke!)

All of these things are directly connected and they’re all things I can help you improve. My goal isn’t to only make you feel better about your skin for a week after your service. I want you to feel better about your WHOLE self from that moment forward.

Maddie, what-the-french-toast is lug-n? lung? loogen?

The quick answer? Lügn (pronounced ‘loon’) is a Swedish word for calm, tranquil, or serene.

On its face, Lügn was a fitting choice for my business, not only because I come from a long line of Scandinavian folk, but also because I wanted my spa to be a place where clients could come to slow down, breathe deep, and incorporate rituals and routines into their life that nourished them on every level.

Beyond the Surface

(as with everything I do here, there’s more to it if you dig deeper)

Around the time I was trying to choose a name for my business, my late father was in the end stages of his many years battling terminal cancer. My parents lived on a little lake and have always loved the loons that nest there. In the early mornings and around sunset, you can hear their calls and look out onto the lake and be filled with this amazing calm that reminds you to breathe and let go.

The last few weeks of my dad's life, he would tell me to listen for the call of the loons after he's gone and know that it’s him saying, "hello". I wanted to capture that calm, that love, and the gratitude my Dad carried for life into my space and pay that kind of energy forward.

So, when I came across the word Lügn', I knew I’d found a name that embodied the depth and breadth of what I wanted to accomplish with my new venture.

And here we are now, together.

Welcome to Lügn Esthetics,

a space filled with love, positive energy, gratitude, and grace.
