She told me to stop using three of the products I had just bought. First time anyone in this industry has talked me out of spending money.
One room. One esthetician. Your skin, actually looked at.
No treatment menu roulette and no upsell. We start with a consultation, work out what your skin is doing, and build from there.
Skin is a long game, not an afternoon.
Most people arrive having tried eleven products in six months. We slow that down: work out what is actually happening, change one thing at a time, and give it long enough to tell us something.

What happens in the room.
Six things, done properly, rather than thirty on a laminated list.

Signature Facial
Cleanse, exfoliate, treat, massage. The one most people start with.
Book
Deep Cleanse & Extractions
Steam, thorough extractions, and calming afterwards. For congestion.
Book
Dermaplaning
Surface exfoliation and vellus hair removed. Makeup sits better after.
Book
Chemical Peel
Superficial peels for tone and texture, built up gradually in a course.
Book
Brow Shaping
Mapped to your face, not to a trend. Wax or tweeze, plus a tidy tint.
Book
Lash Lift & Tint
Your own lashes, curled and darkened. Six weeks, no daily upkeep.
BookGood skin still looks like skin.
Pores, texture and the odd breakout are normal. The goal is skin that behaves, not skin that has been erased.
A quiet room on Northwood Road.
One treatment room, one esthetician, and no waiting area full of other people. You get the whole appointment, and the door stays shut.
-
Fragrance-free by defaultSay the word if you'd rather have it, but nothing is scented unless you ask.
-
Appointments run long on purposeNobody is rushed out so the next booking can start.

The same hands every timeYou are not reassigned to whoever is free that week.
What people say afterwards.
Four months in and my skin is boring now, which is exactly what I wanted. No more guessing every morning.
Quiet, unhurried, and she explains what she is doing as she goes. I have never once felt sold to in that room.
Reasonable questions.
The consultation, or the Signature Facial if you would rather just try something. Either way we talk through what your skin is doing before anything gets put on it.
Some flushing is normal for an hour or two, more after a peel or extractions. If you have something on that evening, say so when you book and we will keep the treatment gentle.
We work with congestion and mild breakouts through facials, extractions and homecare. Persistent or cystic acne needs a dermatologist — that is a medical issue and outside what an esthetician can treat. We will tell you plainly if that is what we are looking at.
Every four to six weeks suits most skin, which is roughly one cell turnover cycle. Peels in a course may run closer together for a while, then space back out.
No. You will get a written routine you can fill anywhere, at any budget. We stock a small number of things because clients ask, not because there is a target to hit.
Twenty-four hours' notice and there is no charge. It is a single-room studio, so a late cancellation usually means the slot stays empty.
Start with a conversation about your skin.
Thirty minutes, free, and no obligation to book a treatment at the end of it.
