First Impressions Skin Care, LLC was founded by Billie Wiant in April 2009. After enjoying a 20-year career in advertising and PR, it was time for a change to pursue another passion: skin care. Her love for all things relating to skincare and cosmetics, along with her experience in health promotion, led her to the field of esthetics. Billie's desire to help clients of all ages care for and manage their skincare concerns led her to esthetics school and a second career as a licensed esthetician. Trained in Mobile, Alabama, she obtained her first esthetics license in the state that requires the highest number of educational hours for this profession.
In addition to her esthetics license, Billie holds a bachelor's degree in Business Administration with a concentration in marketing and a master's of science degree in Community Health Promotion. A former Certified Health Education Specialist, she continues to share her health and wellness knowledge with others. Additionally, she is a freelance makeup artist for Christian Dior.
Billie is thrilled to share her skincare expertise with women, men and teens in a compassionate, fun and tranquil setting at First Impressions Skin Care, located inside Studio Salons Creve Coeur.

"I have had several facials with Billie and she is a very experience esthetician. Her care, knowledge on skin products, and professionalism are top-notch.

"I had never thought of having a back facial but when I had a nasty outbreak, I went to Billie. While I have never had that type of facial before, her "bedside manner" was refreshing. She asked probing questions to meet my needs and exceeded my expectations. I was very impressed with her knowledge and that she took the time to understand what I wanted to achieve. I was impressed and will continue using her services." - H.C., St. Louis
"I have had only two facials so far, and my skin is noticeably different my skin is more smooth and evenly toned than I have ever seen it. Billie was by far the most gentle with extractions than any esthetician I've worked with. By far the most relaxing facial I have ever had! I have never felt so pampered! I treated my office manager to a facial by Billie. She was so impressed that she scheduled a follow up appointment that day, and bought a gift card for one of her friends!" - J.G., St. Louis
"I've never had acne, but when I got a serious breakout I went to see Billie. After two or three visits with her my skin never looked or felt better, and she makes you feel so pampered and relaxed. My facials are now a must have. After all, it's my first impression. Thanks!" - D.M., St. Louis
