About Dani & The Holistic Skin Studio

Hi! I’m Dani, owner of The Holistic Skin Studio.

After exploring various careers that didn't resonate with me, I decided to pursue my passion and obtained my aesthetics license in 2014. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working in some incredible spas. However, I have often felt disconnected from the beauty industry, and I've been part of it for quite some time.

I believe that "beauty" should not be the standard for our goals. Beauty is an innate part of being human and not something we need to aspire to. My purpose in opening a skincare studio is not to help you meet rigid Western beauty standards, but to create a space that promotes skin health through self-compassion. I am trauma-informed and certified in skincare nutrition and breathwork. Since my diagnosis with a chronic pain disorder in 2015, I have studied various aspects of holistic health. I have learned that true healing comes from considering the whole person, and the same applies to our skin.

If your skin is behaving in a way that concerns you, my goal is to identify the root cause to ensure long lasting results. The Holistic Skin Studio is a queer-owned skincare studio that celebrates all gender identities, sexualities, body shapes, sizes, and races. It is a safe space where your skin is already beautiful, regardless of its type or condition. No matter who you are, you are welcome to be yourself here.

Policies

  • Individuals under the age of 18 are not permitted to access spa services. However, consultations are available to minors, with a parent accompaniment. I am happy to recommend alternative providers for this type of service.

    Because I do not have facilities to care for children nor can I assure their safety while in session, I respectfully request that children not accompany their parent during a scheduled facial treatment. 

  • I do not accept tips! I would much rather you use that money for your own skincare or self care needs.

  • I respectfully ask you to give yourself sufficient time to find parking and arrive at your appointment. I will do my best to accommodate lateness but depending on time I may need to shorten your service to keep my schedule on time. In the case of no-call/no-shows, there will be a 15 minute grace period, after that the appointment will be automatically canceled.

  • Out of respect for my time, I require 24 hours notice for cancellations or rescheduling for all services. My cancellation fee is 75% of booked services within 24 hours, I understand that sometimes things are out of our control so this will be addressed on a case-by-case basis. The No-Show fee is 100% of services booked, and you will be required to prepay for any future appointments.

  • I, as the provider, have the right to halt or refuse service in the case of abusive or inappropriate behavior. Don’t be creepy.
