Skinsoup is almost a full-service wellness salon including facial, body treatments, massages, lash extensions and more. I found Skinsoup using the MIND BODY app in 2022. Not sure what prompted an investment at the beginning of my pregnancy, but I'm thankful because ive noticed a complete change in my skin's health and appearance in the past year. I'm saying my skin is firmer, less breakouts in a year, my complexion is brighter, even , and the hyperpigmentation from eczema flares is all but gone. Facial routines seemed so overwhelming but not I have a AM/PM routine and I'm finally understanding what all these crazy products actually do . Wish I started this in my youth . Environment/ location: located in Lafayette next to the 5 little monkeys shop. Paid parking but really quiet. So peaceful inside the studio. There are 2 rooms sometimes used by the lash tech and masseuse. Inside is beautifully decorated , def has a bohemian theme going and is so peaceful. I judge businesses by their bathrooms and hers is gorgeous, clean, and I appreciate the towels instead of paper products. Facial Products : I can't speak to all the official products used during your face/body treatments but she does sell quite a few lines I love specifically SORELLA, SKINCEUTICALS & HENNÉ. I've probably invested hundredsssss in product but it's worth it and my face loves me. I have really sensitive skin, dermatitis AND I was pregnant when I started so I appreciate that I've never had a reaction, she has non-retinol products that work for pregnant women, and she's great at education. Most import army she reads cues so if you're tired , stressed, or would like to enjoy the facial and nap - she won't talk and she'll make sure anyone waiting outside your room is QUIET and not on their phones so you can enjoy it . Which reminds me - appointments are scheduled and she has to buzz you in which keeps the traffic inside to zero Events: lauren hosts pop-up events for clients and guests and they're cool. It's a great time to meet other, try products , learn something new, drink wine , eat and perhaps win something amazing in a raffle (I won a skinceutical gift set retail value :$$$ and it's been amazing) Facials: I recommend the 90-min services starting with the whole bowl in the $190range but now I get the 90-min bydrofacial which is about $365. Something I look forward to is the body work in between product application. Lauren had an amazing touch & and it's my fave part !

It was last minute so I wasn't able to book an appt with the owner Lauren but she was kind enough to squeeze me in with her esthetician Emily who was 5/5. She has the most calming and kind demeanor which already puts you at ease and while being extremely thorough, she also was excellent at explaining what part of the process we were in during the facial session. I had the Whole Bowl (90 mins) and was beyond impressed with the results. They only use the best high quality skincare such as Skinceuticals, as well as selling in store/can ship to your home too. The only disappoint is that they're so far away from home and will be a treat visiting whenever I'm back up north. Definitely book a session with Emily. Your skin will thank you I promise!

She consistently delivers a precise, professional service--whether it's nose hair, eyebrows, or ear trimming, everything is handled with care, discretion, and attention to detail. Tanya creates a comfortable, relaxed experience while maintaining the highest standards, which is not easy to find. What sets her apart is her consistency and pride in her work--you always leave looking sharp and well put together without it ever feeling overdone. I wouldn't trust anyone else. Honestly, wives--do your husbands a favor and send them to Tanya. You'll notice the difference immediately.

Where do I even begin? Lexi... the wax fairy, the real MVP!…read more I have zero pain tolerance, yet this amazing woman taught me how to breathe through and handle full Brazilian waxes. I've been seeing her every 6-8 weeks for years now, and there's a reason she's voted the best waxer in the county. When I first met her, my skin was in rough shape--but thanks to her guidance and product recommendations, my face has never looked better. She's constantly learning and staying up-to-date on skincare products, which I really appreciate as her client. Her studio is spotless, beautifully organized, and the AC is top tier (a lifesaver during waxing, trust me). On top of that, she makes every visit so comfortable and fun--I always look forward to catching up with her. I recommend Lexi to everyone... even though part of me wants to keep her all to myself so I don't lose my time slot! She's also fantastic on social media, so if you're curious about her facials, waxing, or any skincare services, check her out--and tell her Malissa sent you. I promise you, she won't disappoint. Bonus: Twice a year she hosts an appreciation event, and that's where you really get the hookup!

Thanks Hailey for your amazing work and genuine care.

The space is really beautiful and welcoming, and the staff are kind--I appreciated being greeted right when I walked in. That said, both times I've visited, I did end up waiting a bit past my appointment time, which was a little frustrating. The services themselves felt a bit rushed, and I didn't get the same level of attention to detail I've experienced at other places. I also noticed that the wax residue wasn't fully cleaned off afterward, which I personally prefer as part of the service. Lastly, there were a few areas that felt slightly incomplete, so I didn't leave feeling 100% satisfied with the results. Because of these issues, I don't think I'll be returning.
