our story

Staci Ellis is Co-Owner of Trystine Studio, she is a Master Esthetician, Electrologist and Lash Artist. She was born in California and moved to Washington in 1989 and loves the Pacific Northwest. If Staci isn't at the studio you can find her spending time with her family. 

 

Staci started working in Dermatology in 2008 as a Medical Assistant and Surgical Technologist and loved it. Staci was passionate about skin care and helping educate patients so she went to beauty school and became a Master Esthetician.

​

Staci wanted to do esthetics in the dermatology department but that wasn't a position available; so she rented a room at a local salon and spa and began building her clientele and continuing her education in esthetics.  Staci became certified in microblading, classic, volume and mega volume eyelash extensions, advanced chemical peel techniques and more. Staci left dermatology in 2016 to pursue her business full-time. 

​

Summer of 2019 Staci began training in electrolysis and loved it. She trained with Maggie Schacht, an Electrologist with 35 years experience. Maggie was wanting to retire and Staci took the opportunity to lease her space and take over her clientele.   

​

In September of 2019 Staci and her twin sister, Laci began a new exciting adventure opening their own lash and skin studio.
