Nothing to fix.
Everything to nourish.
A bespoke facial studio, one room and one practitioner by design. No front desk, no rush, and no one waiting for the room after you.
Opening soon at 525 3rd Avenue, Suite 209.
Skin health is the foundation.
Radiant skin grows from the fundamentals of rest, movement, nourishment and community, in whatever form those take in your life. A facial can't replace them, but it can offer an hour of attentive touch that supports them.
Built around touch
Every facial is bespoke and massage-focused, drawing on myofascial release, lymphatic work, and sculptural and lifting massage.
Unhurried by design
One room, one practitioner. The hour is yours, with time for a real conversation before anything begins.
Never sold to
You will never hear your face described as a list of flaws, and you will never be sold something you don't need.
Choose your time. Kristy does the rest.
There's no list of named facials to choose between. You select the length of your appointment, and each facial is designed around your skin's needs that day.

A workshop, and a heroine.
An atelier is an artist's workshop, a place where things are made slowly and by hand. Viola is the heroine of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, who washes ashore after a shipwreck and meets everything that follows with patience, humor and remarkable tenderness.
"I named this studio for her because I, too, have come through a kind of shipwreck and arrived somewhere new."
Light from above, quiet all around.
A private second-floor suite in a 1905 building, with a skylight over the treatment bed and room to breathe.
Studio images are 3D mockups (FPO) until the photo shoot.
