About

Gretchen Markowski was born & raised here in Jacksonville and knows firsthand how natural, effortless beauty is the best for this Florida heat. After graduating from the University of North Florida in 2016 with a Marketing degree, she worked in industries covering business analytics, forming relationships, and monitoring trends – but something was missing. Gretchen knew that she would thrive in a one on one service environment and has always had a deep interest in skincare, beauty, and feeling your best. Thus, Face Refinery Jax was born! Gretchen graduated top of her class from Esthetician school in the fall of 2023 and has hit the ground running getting extra certifications, glowing reviews from her earliest clients, and by opening up her very own, private space to welcome you in Jacksonville, Beach. She looks forward to creating deep relaxation, stunning results, and an honest relationship with each and every client.
