Rooted In Self Care

I created Skin Bar and Studio with a dream to inspire a new kind of self-care—where luxury feels personal, and every moment is thoughtfully designed just for you.

During the pandemic, I realized the importance of slowing down and investing in oneself. I envisioned a lavish escape rooted in real results—a space where skincare isn’t just a routine but a truly uplifting experience.

From the aesthetic to the treatments, it’s all crafted to feel effortless, elevated, and entirely unforgettable. At Skin Bar and Studio, we invite you to indulge, unwind, and discover a radiant, more confident you.

Mission Statement

Skin Bar and Studio will be focused on providing clients and members with a relaxing and satisfying experience to promote confidence and empower our customers to feel comfortable in their own skin. ‘Self-care starts with skincare’ is our tagline, as we believe in the importance of not only maintaining beautiful skin but also maintaining a high degree of self-care. Our goal is to be the ‘skinspirator’ in the med spa market, creating customized skincare routines for our clients so they make their best ‘skinvestment’ to address any skincare needs. We understand at Skin Bar and Studio that a skinvestment requires time, patience, AND consistency, and we want our customers to leave happy as they work towards their journey of better, healthier skin.

Our Concept

Skin

This is the core of our brand — the focus on skincare and the belief that glowing, healthy skin is the foundation of beauty and self-confidence.

Bar

Every visit opens and closes at the skincare bar in our studio. Here, our guests can unwind with a refreshing beverage and shop our curated product selection with recommendations by our skincare specialists.

Studio

Our studio is your skincare sanctuary where inner and outer beauty is nurtured. The studio space is used for treatments and gatherings to bring together a wellness community.
