Meet Agnes

Here is the complete, final bio with every Yoast fix applied — sentence length, passive voice, consecutive sentences, subheadings, and transition words all corrected:


Some people find their calling. Agnes Grumslys was found by hers.

She arrived in California from Lithuania in 2003. She was a teenager navigating a new language, a new culture, and a new life. In high school, she enrolled in an ROP cosmetology program almost on a whim. What happened inside that classroom changed everything. The work of caring for someone’s skin felt more like a vocation than a class. The patience it required, the results it produced, the trust it asked for — all of it resonated deeply. While her classmates were still figuring out their direction, Agnes had already found hers.

Agnes earned her cosmetology license through Career Beauty Academy. She then built a career in the vibrant world of LA and Orange County beauty. Working alongside photographers, hair stylists, and makeup artists on photoshoots, she loved the creativity. The pace, however, eventually wore her down. After becoming a mother, Agnes made a deliberate choice. She would build something quieter, deeper, and entirely her own. In 2012, she opened Agnes Beauty & Wellness inside Old World Village in Huntington Beach. The European-style courtyard felt, from the beginning, like it was made for her. She has been there ever since.

“It’s been six beautiful years in this space,” she has said of Old World Village. “My spa truly feels like my second home — a place where passion, purpose, and connection come together every single day.”


A Training Journey Across Four Continents

What distinguishes Agnes from other skilled estheticians is not any single credential. Rather, it is the relentless, globe-spanning pursuit of the very best teachers in each technique she offers. It is also the refusal to stop learning.

Her foundation is California Cosmetologist License #A330955, issued by the California Board of Barbering and Cosmetology. Anyone can verify this government-issued credential publicly at search.dca.ca.gov. It anchors everything she does. On top of that foundation, Agnes has built one of the most diverse and internationally sourced training portfolios of any practitioner in Orange County.

For facial sculpting, Agnes trained in Advanced Buccal Intraoral Face Lifting at the International Aesthetic Sculpture Face Lifting Massage School under Yakov Gershkovich. This advanced intraoral technique makes true structural facial lifting possible through skilled hands, not needles. She also traveled to Lithuania to study Kobido Japanese Facial Artistry at Spa Pasaulis under master instructor Vida Jankuniene. This brought an ancient Japanese tradition home through a European lineage. Additionally, her Hadado Face Sculpting and Buccal Massage certification came through Academia SPA-Tomasik, rounding out her facial sculpture credentials.

Body & Wellness Training

For the body, Agnes completed her Brazilian Body Lymphatic Sculpting certification through The Detox program by Rebecca Faria — one of the most respected Brazilian body sculpting educators working today. Her DMK Enzyme Therapy training came directly from Chelsea, DMK’s own Senior Account Manager and Educator — trained by the brand that developed the method. Furthermore, Agnes earned the LinfoModellante® Method certification in advanced Italian lymphatic sculpting under Manuela Shala, trained in Italy and Los Angeles. Her holistic wellness practice also draws on the Usui System of Natural Healing, completed under Mukunda Narayan Singh — the formal Reiki lineage that informs the energy and intention she brings to every session.

In addition, Agnes holds a BA in Communications with a minor in Public Relations. This background shapes how she speaks about her work. It also informs how she listens to her clients and builds the lasting relationships that define her practice.

Thirteen years. Seven certifications. Four continents of training lineage. One studio in Huntington Beach.


What Agnes Actually Does

Agnes Beauty & Wellness is not a day spa in any conventional sense. Agnes calls it a Clinical Bio-Wellness Studio. It is a place where clinical aesthetics and holistic wellness come together. One practitioner — deeply certified in both — practices them side by side.

On the clinical side, Agnes offers DMK Enzyme Therapy. This cellular skin revision protocol rebuilds healthy skin function from within. It does not mask surface symptoms. She also provides Advanced Buccal Intraoral Face Lifting, Hadado, and Kobido facial massage. These are three distinct traditions of structural facial work. They lift, contour, and restore without a single injection. The Lymphatic Drainage menu draws on three separate training lineages. These include the LinfoModellante® Italian method, Brazilian body lymphatic sculpting, and manual lymphatic technique. Together, these support both facial sculpting and full-body lymphatic drainage. They also cover post-operative care for clients recovering from BBL, liposuction, tummy tuck, and mommy makeover procedures.

Body Sculpting & Wellness

For body sculpting, the studio offers the 360° Brazilian Body Sculpt and Organic Body Ice Sculpting. It also provides Non-Invasive Brazilian Butt Lift through vacuum therapy and Roll Shapers lymphatic drainage. Meanwhile, the wellness services are not afterthoughts. They include infrared sauna, sound bath therapy, ionic foot bath, infrared light therapy, and cupping. Agnes views these as an integral part of her practice. She believes the body and its energy are inseparable.

“Agnes Beauty & Wellness is a sanctuary for the mind, body, and spirit,” she describes it, “where European technique meets soulful intention.”

Her philosophy centers on a single phrase she returns to often: “You have to flow before you glow.” Before visible results can arrive, the body’s systems must first be supported and restored. That is the work Agnes does.


The Values That Guide Her

Agnes has defined five core values. They guide how she practices and shape every client interaction.

Accountability — Your needs are her highest priority. Every session, every recommendation, and every follow-up reflects that commitment.

Empathy — Consultations are a judgment-free zone. Clients arrive with concerns they have carried for years. Agnes meets them where they are, without assumption.

Ethical — Every treatment plan is custom-designed around the individual client. Agnes uses only the most effective and appropriate protocols — never pushed, never oversold.

Giving — Agnes believes strongly in community. She has hosted local events highlighting fellow female entrepreneurs. She has also collaborated with nutritionists, fitness trainers, and wellness experts, and actively supports causes that matter to the people she serves.

Service — The five-star experience her clients describe in nearly 80 consecutive five-star Google reviews is no accident. It is, instead, a daily commitment.


Recognized, Trusted, and Growing

VoyageLA, CanvasRebel, BoldJourney, and Vakarų Vėjai have all featured Agnes and her practice. Vakarų Vėjai is the Lithuanian-American media publication of the Consulate General of Lithuania in Los Angeles. It has recognized Agnes as a leader in her community. The practice holds an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau, accredited since 2022. It has also maintained a perfect five-star rating across all Google reviews since opening.

Agnes serves clients from across coastal Orange County. This includes Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Irvine, Seal Beach, and Costa Mesa. She also offers select mobile services for clients who prefer treatment in their own home or private setting. She speaks both English and Lithuanian, and warmly welcomes clients from the Lithuanian-American community throughout Southern California.


What Comes Next

Agnes has never been someone who settles into a formula. She is currently developing Wellness Escape — a new expansion space adjacent to Agnes Beauty & Wellness. Designed as a dedicated sanctuary for wellness events, workshops, private gatherings, and healing experiences, it represents the next step in a larger vision. Agnes aims to build not just a business, but a philosophy of care and connection. She also hopes to educate the next generation of holistic estheticians. Furthermore, she plans to bring this approach to people far beyond Huntington Beach.

The world, as Agnes sees it, “is ready for wellness that feels personal, soulful, and truly transformative.”

She is ready to deliver it.
