Jona Herrera is the founder of Leela Skin which is inspired by his Incan, Tepehuan, and Hispanic heritage but its unique perspective on esthetics, beauty and wellness.
He holds a bachelor’s degree in linguistics from Cal Poly Pomona. His passion for education and skin have helped him form relationships with Salon Success Academy, Dermalogica, Worth Up Alliance, Beauty Changes Lives, Onui Studio, and The Caravanserai Project.
