Garden Skin Co was founded by Brooke Gallagher, a licensed esthetician who began experimenting with botanical skincare in 2017 and later started teaching DIY skincare workshops. The studio draws on conscious beauty practices, phytotherapy, holistic healing and clinical skincare, with a focus on low-tox living and naturally derived ingredients.
Each facial begins with an analysis, moves into treatment, and ends with guidance for care at home. Custom Facials include enzyme exfoliation with steam, warm towels, sound bowl therapy, lymphatic support, a mineral-rich mask and light facial massage, and clients receive a personalized follow-up plan within 48 hours. The signature menu also includes the Gentleman's Facial and the one-hour Dermaplane Facial, which removes dead skin cells and peach fuzz. HydraFacial MD and ProCell microchanneling, a collagen-induction treatment for texture and tone, round out the facial menu. According to the salon, its ProCell MD serum is formulated at double the strength of the standard professional version.
Beyond the treatment room, the studio runs on-site mini facials for teams, corporate team-building workshops held on a working garden farm where participants make their own DIY skincare products, and customized experiences for employee appreciation days, leadership retreats and conference activations. Clients who refer two other clients receive a free Custom Facial.
Hours are Monday and Tuesday 11:00 am to 7:00 pm, Wednesday 11:00 am to 5:00 pm, Thursday 9:00 am to 5:00 pm and Friday 9:00 am to 7:00 pm. Saturday and Sunday are by appointment only. Parking is street only, so clients are asked to arrive a few minutes early. No-shows are charged the full service price, and cancellations or reschedules within 72 hours are charged 50% of the service price. The salon's own site shows a 5.0 rating from 36 reviews.
Blends thoughtful analysis with botanically grounded and clinical treatments, combining conscious beauty practices, phytotherapy and holistic healing with a tailored plan for every client.
