As an accomplished painter and sculptor, Angela Hugghins brings an artist's eye to her work, transforming how the world sees her clients' faces. A professional aesthetician since 2000, Angela launched Monarch Brow & Facial in 2016, offering expert skincare treatments, organic facials, and lash and eyebrow tinting.

Angela’s work is highly individualized, with all sessions being one-on-one. There’s no waiting room or receptionist—just Angela herself in an intimate space designed for private, personal attention. She uses only organic, hypoallergenic, and sustainable cleansers and makeup, providing treatments and simple guidance to achieve healthier, great-looking skin with a minimal regimen and at any budget. Angela has also been practicing Reiki for nearly 20 years, infusing each service with this healing energy.

In 2019, Angela created Cult of Reason, a skincare brand born out of a love of the chemistry of skincare and a desire to create a line that challenges the status quo. With carefully selected suppliers, high quality ingredients and a true understanding of how skin works, this streamlined product line is transparent and thoughtfully crafted. Cult of Reason makes loving your skin easy.

Monarch and Cult of Reason have been featured in Chapel Hill Magazine as Angela has won six consecutive years in a few categories in the Best of Chapel Hill awards.

Cult of Reason has enjoyed features by Sima Cohen and has been included in the United Airlines Hemispheres magazine product guides. Additionally, Angela was interviewed by radio host Aaron Keck about her success for WCHL Chapelboro news. 

"I have been a client since moving to the Chapel Hill area last year and could not be happier with the waxing and facial services Angela has provided. Angela's professionalism and artistic skill as well as the quality of products she uses makes her the only waxing and facial esthetician I trust with my sensitive skin."

-Lindsay B., Chapel Hill

"Angela is a warm and caring individual who is also very detail-oriented and skilled at her craft. Her compassion and precision make her an incredible esthetician. Wonderful results, wonderful woman."
