Meet Kristian Lonette

Founder of The KL Method | Educator | Esthetics Strategist

Licensed Esthetician. Corrective Skincare Expert. Beauty Educator.

Kristian Lonette is the founder of The KL Method and co-owner of The Skin Collective Detroit, but her journey began long before the titles. She started formulating and selling handcrafted facial masks and body products in 2016—driven by a love for skin and a deep respect for holistic wellness. By 2018, she became a licensed esthetician and began blending clinical results with luxury experiences through her private brand, Detroit Skintique—where she still practices today as The Detroit Esthetician.

With a background in sales and marketing, seven years working alongside surgeons in the plastic surgery industry, and advanced training in treating skin of color, Kristian built a six-figure esthetics career by focusing on what matters: results, relationships, and integrity.

She’s been awarded Corrective Skincare Specialist of the Year, holds a Chemical Peel Specialist certification through Circadia, and has partnered directly with the professional skincare brand as a trusted ambassador.

Now, with The KL Method, she’s shifting her focus to mentorship—helping other estheticians rise with clarity, skill, and strategy. Her mission is simple: to empower professionals to treat skin of color with care and confidence, not quick-fix trends.

Because great skin is more than technique—it’s intention.
