Meet Mel, Your Esthetician
Hi, I’m Mel Rice
Founder of Current Glow
I’m a board-certified esthetician and cosmetologist with an academic background in Fine Art and Theatre. I’ve always had a passion for beauty, expression, and helping people feel like their most radiant selves.
I’ve been receiving micro-current facials for over 15 years and completely fell in love with the experience.
The gentle, non-invasive power of the treatment—and the way it supports aging gracefully without harsh chemicals—sparked my journey into skincare as a profession.
Current Glow is the culmination of that love.
My mission is to stay on the cutting edge with the most effective techniques, technology, and products—while keeping things deeply personal, grounded, and holistic.
Originally from Kansas City, Missouri, I made my way to Austin in 2010 by way of Colorado, where I studied in college. When I’m off the clock, you’ll probably find me relaxing at a jazz club, reading up on Eastern philosophy, or soaking in the beauty of nature.
I can’t wait to help you reconnect with your skin and your glow.
Current Glow is on a Mission
Mission Statement
At Current Glow, my mission is to offer restorative, non-invasive skincare rooted in intention, innovation, and self-love. I believe beauty is already within you—and my work is simply to activate it. Micro-current facials are like cardio and strength training for your skin.
