Our Mission

At Jill Bucy Skincare, our goal has been to provide Seattle's only French-style facial services since 2006. Since we opened, we've fast become a Seattle favorite, with a coterie of enthusiastic customers and wonderful press. No technique or approach is effective without a compassionate practitioner for whom care of the skin and related systems is a passion. Our clients appreciate the difference that a classical French approach to skincare makes to their bien-être total and youthful appearance.

Founder / Master Esthetician

Svetlana Ponomareva

Svetlana Ponomareva master esthetician, owner and aesthetician, has come to Jill Bucy Skincare with a true passion for the FRENCH techniques. She has been extensively trained in the BIOLOGIQUE RECHERCHE Methodologies both in an internship with Jill Bucy as well as advanced training with the top educators from Paris. Svetlana has very loyal and strong following and is an asset in our quest to create beautiful skin. She believes that glowing skin comes from within, as well from an excellent skincare regime. “It’s how you eat, your attitude, and taking great care of your skin,” Svetlana says.


She grew up in Russia in a family of artists and was always drawn to beauty.
“I was not born with perfect skin and wondered if it was possible to make your skin flawless and beautiful. Before BIOLOGIQUE RECHERCHE, I didn’t know much about French skincare. From the first day, I was astonished. I got a feeling, this is it. The French technique and philosophy feels so organic and so right. It’s the only skincare that changed my skin quickly”

"I went to Lisa at Jill Bucy for facials before three important events recently. Lisa’s touch is golden and the treatments were beyond my expectations. I got compliments on my appearance at every event as well in everyday life for weeks following. The products are amazing and she has me on a daily regimen as well as targeted solutions. I’m 52 and people Guess my age anywhere from 35-45. My skin is elastic and radiant and even more so when I’ve been in for a deeper facial. I love this woman! I’ll be going for years to come to keep the years off."
