Meet Jenna

Hey, I’m Jenna! I have been a Registered Practical Nurse for over 3.5 years now, and have the amazing opportunity to run my business Rural Beauty here out of Beauty Basics. At this time, Rural Beauty specializes in neurotoxin treatments, microneedling and Vitamin B12 wellness injections. I love that I also have the opportunity to perform other services through Beauty Basics, such as brows, lash lifts + tints, and now facials! My favourite thing about this industry is there’s always something new to learn, whether it be as a Nurse Injector or esthetician. What better way to learn than to do it with a team that is always encouraging & uplifting, and with lovely clients who are just as supportive!
