About The Owner
I am a hometown resident of Peoria, Illinois. Skin care has always interested me, so I made a career change in 1998. I attended Mr. John's School of Cosmetology in Decatur, Illinois, and became State Board Licensed in Illinois as an Esthetician in 1999. I have been trained and certified in numerous advanced clinical facial and body treatment classes. I have had specialized training in the Repechage product line by Lydia Sarfati in NYC, and advanced waxing training from Lori Nestore better known as "The Wax Queen of the USA" of EPA Esthetics in California. I am certified in stress relief and relaxation massage.
In 2002, I became the first esthetician to offer Brazilian waxing to the Peoria area. Since then I have gained the title of "The Wax Queen of Peoria".
I am confident in the career I have chosen as an Esthetician. I LOVE my job, and have met so many wonderful people in the last 20 years. I also enjoy sharing my knowledge in esthetics and educating my clients so they too can better themselves and gain added confidence in their well being. ~ Kimberly Merkle
About Jillian
Jillian Schoon has been working at Serenity since May of 2010, after graduating from Tricoci University of Beauty Culture in January of the same year with a license in Esthetics. She took a couple years off after having her first child but returned working part time after having her second in 2016. She has three young sons that keep her busy but loves being able to come to work to help others relax while getting a break from motherhood herself!
After working under the waxing queen for several years we’ve now dubbed her the waxing princess, so make an appointment with Jillian for a relaxing facial treatment or waxing services today!

(which used to be a tea room) where we were for over two years. October, 2013 we relocated back to Peoria Heights and became Serenity Skin Care & Waxing and were located in Prospect Mall for 6 years. In 2019 Prospect Mall was sold to become a new hotel. We then relocated to our new location at Oak Cliff Park.
