History
Established in 2007.
The inception of CEREMONY occurred in an old Victorian building located in downtown Austin, where it started as a private skincare studio named Paloma. In 2009, Evette expanded her business and opened Paloma Botanical Beauty Parlour, which offered a full range of spa services and a hair salon. However, after several years, Evette longed for the simplicity and focus on skincare and energy work that she had experienced in the early stages of her career, prompting her return to a private studio setting.
With nearly two decades of experience and having worked in numerous studios, Evette has honed her skills to offer a refined and personalized treatment at CEREMONY. Her custom-tailored protocols and meticulous attention to detail set her apart from the average skincare provider, making her a true expert in the field. At CEREMONY, clients can expect a warm and welcoming experience, reflective of Evette's natural and approachable demeanor.
