After a few years as a manager for the ultra-luxury cosmetics brands, Bianca decided to take her passion for skincare and all-natural ingredients to the next level. Bianca attended the Esthetic Institute in McLean, Virginia, where she learned from Comite' International d'Esthetique et de Cosme'tologie (CIDESCO) trained instructors. Bianca's goal in every facial is to educate the client, balance the skin, and bring out its natural glow.

Having bypassed the "make-up phase" as a teenager, Bianca focused her time exploring professional grade skincare ingredients/products that promote skin health as well as its natural glow. Bianca's German heritage shaped her approach to skincare around four main pillars:

1. High-quality treatments and techniques
2. Science backed skincare ingredients
3. Facial massage
4. An inside-out focus on the impact that diet plays in reducing inflammation in the body.

Julia’s passion for professional skincare services comes from her desire to help people feel amazing and confident in their own skin. After living in Seoul, a city renowned for its beauty and skincare industry, she pursued a master esthetician license. She understands the importance of living a healthy lifestyle and using the right products to achieve a beautiful glow from within. With experience in dermatology and spas alike, she has seen what a big impact having healthy skin can have on someone’s life.

Kirsten's interest in skincare stems from her struggles with rosacea as a teen and eczema, psoriasis, and skin cancer as a young adult. After working in small spas for over ten years, she returned to school to earn her Master's Esthetics license to expand her repertoire of services. She enjoys challenging herself to stay ahead of her clients' product knowledge and has earned numerous certifications for advanced esthetics.

With over 20 years of experience as a Master Esthetician and Massage Therapist, Dana blends her deep knowledge of both Ayurvedic (all natural) and medical aesthetic protocols and procedures to deliver results driven outcomes for her clients.

Inspired by her clients, Dana returned to school earning her undergraduate and graduate degrees in environmental health and applied epidemiology from the University of Virginia and Cal Berkeley, respectively. After completing her 500-hour yoga teacher training in NYC with living yoga master Sri Dharma Mittra, she returned to skin care (and Sarah) with a full quiver of holistic and medical knowledge.

Outfitted with intersectional anti-aging modalities, Dana couples performance ingredients with state-of-the-art technologies and hand techniques to promote and enhance natural beauty.

Dana especially enjoys collaborating with clients to develop an at-home care routine that’s sustainable and easy for everyday use.
