Meet Michelle

Michelle Alvarez-Crider has lived in the Capital Region since 1989. Her past includes serving in the United States Air Force, as a Military Police Officer, and owning and operating a successful home and office cleaning company. After years of service in those industries, Michelle wanted to make a change and move towards helping people better themselves. That’s when she decided to head back to school and enrolled in the Aesthetics’ program at The Aesthetics’ Science Institute in September 2014.

Michelle’s passion and understanding of New York City’s beauty industry, is what sparked her decision to open an aesthetics beauty lounge called Body Glow New York. Since then she has expanded her education and training working with top professional companies in the industry allowing her to rebrand into Body Glow New York Spray Tanning & Med Spa.

Michelle manages operations with a complete understanding of all departments. As a licensed aesthetician, certified laser technician, master spray tan artist, and lashing instructor with a specialty in body sculpting, chemical peels, teeth whitening, lash extensions, and waxing, she’s a multifaceted Med Spa owner, who not only provides superior leadership, but unparalleled beauty development and service.

In addition to Michelle’s dedication to her career and the growth of the Body Glow New York brand, she finds time for the most important things in her life, her family. She loves to enjoy traveling and spending quality time with her husband, children, and pups.
