I also love the wide range of products she offers! She is incredibly knowledgeable about the holistic view of skin and health and is always up to date and learning even more! She is amazing!!! I highly recommend booking with Marta! Huge plus- her space is centrally located in Lafayette, has lots of parking and is adorable!

Ms. Marta was recommended by my boss/friend who's been going to her for many years. The thing I…read morelike the most about facials is a good extraction and I've been unsuccessful finding a skincare specialist around the bay who can do a good job at it. SO GLAD I found Ms. Marta. She does excellent extractions! She takes her time to get to know you, your habits (not just skincare habits) on the initial consult as she takes a wholistic approach in making your skin better. I appreciated the time she took to explain how our biggest organ works and have started making small changes from the stuff I learned. She has an open, easygoing and warm nature...much like talking to your mom. The place felt serene and was sparkling clean. She has in-depth Covid protocols in place (you read them on her website) to make sure everyone's safe. My face felt and looked plumped up and healthy and clear after the initial session and have already booked the next one. She has quite the following and her calendar is pretty busy so make sure to book in advance so you don't have to worry about making last minute appointments. I've also started using some of her products such as the facial cleanser, salicylic acid, glycolic gel, balancing cream, SPF cream, sulfur mask and pumice scrub which appears to be a miracle product (partnered with the glycolic gel) after using it on the patches of bumps on my arms. OMG! Her prices are very reasonable especially after you see the results. Worth. every. freakin. penny. If you've been looking for a REAL, LEGIT skincare esthetician who can do amazing extractions, this place IS IT! Don't wait to book your session.

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.

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!
