Meet the Owner

Laura Mayhew,

Licensed Esthetician

Originally from Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, Sparkle Spa owner Laura Mayhew is a 1997 graduate of The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She became a licensed esthetician in 2002 from Pivot Point International School of Esthetics and started her career working at Michael Anthony Salon/Spa in Chicago before returning to Wisconsin in 2007. Laura opened Sparkle Spa in 2011 in Wauwatosa and moved it to its current location at the Elm Grove Park and Shop in 2014.

"My passion for my business is driven by my personal connection to it. Skincare has always been an important part of my daily life, but I’m also a caregiver and enjoy connecting with people on a personal level," Laura says. "I take pride in educating clients of all ages on how to take the proper care of their skin, and how diet, sun, stress, hormones, and medication can affect it. Additionally, 50% of adult women get acne and the cosmetic industry fails to recognize it. I have done extensive research and post graduate training to scale my knowledge and increase my understanding."

Sparkle Spa introduced the Roccoco Botanicals skincare line in 2018 and has since grown to be the largest individual seller of Roccoco products in the world. Always researching new products and techniques, Laura found that the Australian-based company aligned with her own skincare philosophy. Roccoco Botanicals takes a holistic approach to respect the skin barrier by utilizing hypo-allergenic, non-comedogenic, acne-safe plant-based products.
