Can you get a tattoo in the summer?
Of course you can. You just take extra care in the sun while it heals. Microneedling is the same.

One of the biggest myths I hear is that you “can’t” have microneedling in the summer. The truth? It’s not like laser treatments, where sun exposure is a much bigger concern.

After microneedling, your skin needs a few days to heal. During that time, it’s important to:
• Wear your SPF.
• Avoid direct sun exposure.
• Skip tanning and prolonged time outdoors while your skin is recovering.

That doesn’t mean you have to put your skin goals on hold for three or four months. With a little planning, you can safely continue treating acne scars, pigmentation, fine lines, texture, and overall skin health all summer long.

Life doesn’t stop in the summer—and your skincare doesn’t have to either. If you’ve been waiting until fall because you thought you had to, let’s chat. We can create a treatment plan that fits your lifestyle while keeping your skin protected. 🤍

Worried about looking orange?

We hear this all the time!

But our spray tans are not one-size fits all. We’re not just asking how dark you want to go - we’re also considering your natural undertone. And this is one of the many reasons we love our rapid solutions from NUDA | Award Winning Self Tanners.

💚 If you have naturally pink undertones in your skin you have a cool undertone. Request an olive toned tan to balance the redness in your skin. Unsure? Check the veins on the inside of your wrist. If they’re blue, you fall in this category.

💜 If you have warm, golden, or yellow undertones to your skin, request a violet based tan to avoid looking overly golden. If your veins on the inside of your wrist are green, this is you.

This is how we create well balanced colour. Because the goal isn’t to look like you got a spray tan.

The goal is for people to wonder where you went on vacation. 😉

Smile! It’s Friday! 🫧

I think you’re using too many actives.
I think you’re doing too many treatments.
I think your approach is too aggressive.
I think you’re exfoliating too much.
I think you’re trying too hard to cling to your youth.

And I think the beauty industry has convinced you that every line, pore, and pimple is a problem that needs to be fixed.

And at what cost?

Your skin doesn’t need to be punished into behaving. It needs to be understood.

I’m not against advanced treatments - I offer them every day. It’s about choosing the right techniques and technologies to get you to your goals without compromising the integrity of your skin. We can make high quality choices and choose loyalty to your skin over beauty trends.

Healthy skin isn’t built through aggression. It’s built through consistency, strategy, and knowing when to step in, and when enough is enough.

I’m not anti-aging. I’m anti-waging a war on your own face.

You are going to age. So am I.

My goal isn’t to stop that.

It’s to help you have strong, healthy, resilient skin while you do.

There are very few skincare products I can confidently say I don’t want to live without anymore.

This is one of them. 🤍

The VENN Probiotics Cica Complex Biome Booster has become an absolute staple in my own routine — and my skin is so much happier when I’m using it consistently.

After falling in love with the cleanser, mist, Compound-K Booster, the Renewal Mask AND the 10B-EXO EGF ampoules, I continued to refine our treatment protocols with these beautiful products, and the Cica Complex came up again and again as being supportive for:

✨ Acne + inflammation
✨ Rosacea
✨ Impaired skin barrier
✨ Dehydration
✨ Perioral dermatitis 

I knew I needed to give a go on my own temperamental skin so I could confidently recommend it. Admittedly, for me there was a recalibration period within the first week where my skin seemed to purge as the microbiome healed. But after 3-4 weeks - breakouts were healed and controlled, and barrier function was restored. No more dry, flakey patches. It deeply hydrated my skin in a way nothing else had before.

And yes — I’ll address the elephant in the room: it is an investment. But after 18 years in this industry, I’m not interested in recommending products just because they’re trendy, cheap, or easy to sell. I want products that earn their place in your routine.

This one has earned its place in mine.

If you’ve been struggling with breakouts, rosacea, dehydration or a compromised barrier and you’re wondering if this might be the missing piece in your routine — try it. 🤍

Because sometimes the answer isn’t another aggressive active. Sometimes your skin just needs the right conditions and support to finally heal.

…Treating exhaustion and self-neglect like proof you’re successful.

As I plan for our new spa home in 2027, I’ve been thinking a lot about one of the most normalized — and, in my opinion, most problematic — parts of the beauty industry:
The glorification of being too busy to take care of yourself.

I worked at four different salons and spas before opening my own business, and I can honestly say I don’t ever remember ever having consistent, scheduled breaks.

It was normal — glorified, even — to be so busy that you crammed food into your mouth between clients and held your p*e all day. And when you did get a chance to eat, you were lucky if there was a chair or a small table. I remember sitting on washers and dryers to eat my lunch.

And we wore our hustle like a badge of honour.

When I opened my own studio, one thing I was adamant about from the beginning was scheduled breaks. This should be the bare minimum, but that had not been my experience in the industry — and it was something I knew I wanted to change.

But as we grew, I realized there was another piece I missed…

When I built out my current studio, not a lot of thought went into a staff room. We had a boutique, reception area, treatment rooms, stacked laundry, a processing sink, a bathroom… and then an extra room. Sure, we’ll call it a staff room. Sure, it had a mini fridge and a microwave, but it quickly became a staff/storage/office/everything room.

And over the years, that has become one of my biggest grievances with our current space. So, one of the things I’m most excited about for our new home is something that may not seem very glamorous at all:
An actual staff room with a kitchenette.
A place for my team to sit down. Eat. Breathe. They spend their days caring for other people. They deserve a space that cares for them, too.

Our growth isn’t just about creating a more beautiful experience for our clients.
It’s about creating a better industry for the people who work in it too.
And providing that for my team in our new space is genuinely one of the things I feel most proud of.

The little things nobody warns you about as you age...

Skin tags.
Cherry angiomas.
Seborrheic keratoses.

Those mysterious bumps and spots that seem to appear out of nowhere.

These changes are incredibly common and completely normal. But if they’re bothering you, catching on clothing, or affecting your confidence in your summer wardrobe, then we can help!

Our Epidermal Repair treatment is designed to safely target a variety of benign skin lesions with minimal downtime and lasting results.

Have a spot you’re curious about? Book a consultation or send us a photo—we’re always happy to let you know if we can help. 🤍

Real results. Real change.

These photos show Norma’s results before, and after completing 10 weekly microcurrent treatments.

And here’s the best part... The “after” photos were taken ONE WEEK after her final treatment.

This isn’t a temporary post-treatment lift. This is real cumulative change.

But don’t be fooled. You WILL notice an immediate lift after a single session, but consistent treatments are what create changes that continue to support the skin and underlying facial muscles over time.

✔️ Jawline definition
✔️ Facial contour and lift
✔️ Mid-face fullness
✔️ Overall firmness
✔️ Skin radiance

Microcurrent is often called a workout for your face because it gently stimulates the facial muscles while supporting circulation, cellular energy, and healthy aging.

Like going to the gym, one workout feels great. 8-10 weeks really changes things.

And now you can bundle 8 Microcurrent Focus Treatments for $900.

Perfect as a standalone series, or as an add-on to your Membership or our 12 Weeks to Your Best Skin program. 😍

If you’re looking for natural facial rejuvenation without needles or downtime, microcurrent may be exactly what you’ve been searching for!

If you’re wondering why your skin is burning, and your kid’s isn’t... it’s probably your retinol. 👀

Retinol and other skincare actives work by increasing cell turnover, bringing newer skin cells to the surface. While this can be beneficial, it also means your skin can become more susceptible to UV exposure.

A few summer reminders:
☀️ Wear a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ every single day
☀️ Reapply every 2 hours when outdoors
☀️ Seek shade and wear a hat when possible
☀️ Consider discontinuing your retinol for the summer and swapping it out for a Vitamin C Serum instead!
