hi —

I’m Mikayla!

Founder + Advanced Practice Esthetician
My interest in skincare started with my own skin struggles with acne, which eventually turned into a genuine curiosity about ingredients, formulations, and the science behind it all. What started as wanting to understand my own skin grew into something I never imagined I’d get to call my career.
Outside of the studio, I am a little bit of a social butterfly and a homebody. I love getting to know people and going out, but I’m just as happy spending a quiet night in watching documentaries, getting lost in a book, or hanging out with my fiancé and two cats.
My approach to skincare is simple: real results, backed by science, with a little education along the way. I believe in using products and treatments supported by research, but I also know that great skin doesn’t happen overnight.
Skincare can feel very overwhelming and intimidating, that’s why you shouldn’t have to do it alone. I’m here to help you understand your skin, find what works for you, and to make the process feel a lot less complicated.
More than anything I want you to leave the studio feeling heard, confident, and excited about the treatment plans we’ve made.
We’re in this together, every step of the way.
