Location..
My home-based studio is located in Sonoma Ranch, just about 2 miles from Sunset Grill and 1.5 miles from the Walmart Supercenter on Rinconada.
I understand that some may question the professionalism of a home studio. I want to assure you that I am a fully licensed professional with 22 years of experience, holding both State and City credentials. These credentials require annual inspections by the State Board, ensuring adherence to the highest standards.
My studio offers a comprehensive range of services that you would expect from a traditional spa or salon, with none of the distractions. I utilize professional-grade products, and your treatments are provided in a clean, tranquil and professional environment.
Upon scheduling your appointment, you will receive an email with further details to prepare for your visit.
The Benefits of a Professional Home Studio..
I operated a storefront before transitioning to my home studio at the end of 2020. The decision to move was driven by a need for adaptability during the challenging times of the COVID pandemic. While I initially thought this change would be temporary, it illuminated the many benefits that a home studio offers.
When I asked my clients their thoughts about returning to a storefront location, each expressed a preference for my home studio. As a result, I recently moved and expanded my space to include a custom-built studio. This new environment fosters a peaceful and serene atmosphere, allowing clients to relax and unwind away from the distractions commonly found in larger spas and salons. Parking is also incredibly manageable, contributing to the overall convenience of each visit.
During your appointment, you can expect a high level of privacy, as it is unlikely you will encounter another individual. I intentionally limit the number of clients I see each day to maximize the time and attention I dedicate to each person. Your experience is paramount to me; I strive to provide the individual care necessary to promote the best results for both your skin and spirit. After all, your skin deserves it. YOU deserve it!
