Chelsea Hof

Lead Instructor

Chelsea has spent 15 years in the beauty industry and is a proud alum of Aveda Institute Portland. Born and raised in Portland, she’s thrilled to share her expertise and enthusiasm with her students. Known for her waxing skills—she’s mastered the 5-minute Brazilian—Chelsea loves helping students hone their craft and seeing those “lightbulb” moments when everything clicks.

Outside the classroom, Chelsea is a busy mom, an animal lover, a die-hard Bengals fan, and a big fan of trivia nights and board games. Her upbeat energy and passion for teaching make her a favorite among students and an inspiration to future estheticians.
