Thank you Pictou County Chamber for featuring me in your Women in Business Spotlight series in March. I’m so grateful to be a member of your organization.

Women in Business Spotlight: Julie-Anne Des Roches 💜
CIDESCO Trained | Master Esthetician
Owner/Operator – Sel et Sucre Advanced Aesthetics

After receiving her formal training in Alberta’s skincare industry, Julie-Anne returned to the East Coast in 2020, bringing her advanced expertise home to Pictou County. She launched her business from Pictou in 2022, later relocating to New Glasgow—where she’s now proudly celebrating her second year at her current location!

Julie-Anne specializes in chemical and enzyme peels, microdermabrasion, thermocoagulation, and customized facial and body treatments. As an oncology-trained esthetician, she is deeply committed to providing safe, compassionate skincare options for individuals navigating cancer. She also offers a wide range of products, including holistic lines designed for medically reactive skin.
At Sel et Sucre, clients experience an inclusive, private, one-on-one environment built on trust, comfort, and care.

Julie-Anne is grateful for the strong entrepreneurial spirit in Pictou County and the support she’s received from local agencies and fellow business owners. Being here also allows her to stay close to family—both in Nova Scotia and PEI—which makes her work even more meaningful.

We're proud to be celebrating women like Julie-Anne who elevate our community through skill, heart, and dedication.

Wishing you a beautiful Easter filled with reflection, peace and renewed hope!

One of my favorite moments during a facial is hearing, watching and feeling my client let go of stress and tension and ‘melt’ into a relaxing state. An audible positive shift in energy, necessary to move forward in whatever phase of life and its many challenges that you may be dealing with.

Thank you for your encouragement, patience and understanding the past few months. After some time off for personal reasons, I have returned to the studio. I’ve been seeing clients on a limit schedule but my calendar is opening up!

Whether you were gifted a certificate, wanting a hydrating treatment to take care of winter skin, or in need of some quiet relaxation, now is the perfect time to book in. I have openings as early as next week.

Due to personal circumstances, I will be taking some time off from the studio. I am currently booking appointments from February 16th and onward. I will reach out to those who have booked their treatments between now and then to make alternative arrangements. I appreciate your continued understanding and support in the days to come. Thank you!

As we move through the holiday season and into the start of a brand new year, I want to express my appreciation and gratitude for the support I’ve received from my clients, family and friends. I hope you enjoyed these special moments with the people you love creating memories that can be cherished for the days to come.
May 2026 bless each of you with health, happiness and renewed hope.

Gift certificates can be purchased in any denomination or for a specific treatment. Sel et Sucre Advanced Aesthetics offers both printed and digital gift certificates making it easy for you to buy the perfect gift this holiday season.
