About

Joanne Smith runs Grace+Clay as a solo practice. Her early esthetics work was at Lords 'n Ladies, a salon and day spa that operated for nearly 40 years. After that salon was retired in 2016, she opened her own practice, which is now presented as Esthetics by Joanne Smith as well.

Her approach favors gentle, non-invasive treatments over heavier ones, and she puts real weight on home care so clients can keep their routine going between visits. The business says its methods aim to protect and nourish the skin without peeling or irritation. Products are chosen with pure ingredients and newer science in mind, and the practice offers personalized skincare products matched to each client.

Each Radiant Grace facial is built around the client's skin, time and budget, and typically includes exfoliation, a custom serum, massage, a mask and finishing products. Facial modalities used include gua sha, facial cupping, high frequency, cryo massage, scalp massage, an ultrasonic skin scrubber and extra extractions.

New clients start with the New Client Facial Bundle, a 90-minute session that includes an advanced skin analysis using a Skin Scope, a diagnostic device with filtered long-wave ultraviolet light, along with a Radiant Grace Essential. The bundle also includes a complimentary 30-minute in-person skin consultation and a written treatment plan. Clients receive 10% off product recommendations afterward.

Beyond skincare, the practice offers lash extensions in classic and hybrid styles, fills, lash lifts using Elleebana, brow lamination, and hair removal by waxing (including Cirepil hard wax) and Alexandria Professional sugaring. Patch tests are available on request for any service.

Favors a less-is-more philosophy built on gentle, non-invasive treatments and thoughtful home care, with a barrier-first approach inspired by corneotherapy.

A calm, private space for skincare and beauty services.
