The practice is run by Jaskiran Brar, who has worked as a professional esthetician since 2004, the year of graduating from California Cosmetology school.

Ayurveda sits at the center of the work, and skin care has been extended to include holistic approaches to women's health concerns. Each client works with a wellness plan tailored to their body type. One offering is a program for women going through menopausal changes, developed from Ayurvedic studies. The Clear Skin Solutions group brings together the acne programs, peels and facials.

The acne program is prescription-free. It pairs a twice-daily home care routine with in-clinic treatments, booked about every two weeks, usually around six treatments over three months. The first visit is a 75-minute consultation and treatment that includes a skin sensitivity test and either an enzyme hydrating treatment or a peel with extractions. The program typically takes three to six months, and individual results vary. Acne Boot Camp is $100 for 30 minutes. Power Peels are planned as a stand-alone series of three with no downtime, at $150 per session or $375 prepaid. The Rezenerate Nano Treatment, $165 for 50 minutes, is a series of corrective treatments for skin discoloration, planned around each client's condition and depth of color.

Ayurvedic treatments include Shirodhara, a 60-minute session with warm herbal oil poured on the forehead after a front body massage, offered at $135 per session or as a series of at least three. Other options include Netra Basti at $105, an Ayurvedic facial at 60 minutes and $150 with herbal nasal drops, ear oil and marma massage, Nasya nasal therapy at $40, and Karna Purana ear oil treatments. Longer combinations include the 120-minute Samadhi Experience at $250 and the 200-minute Nirvana Indulgence at $450. Nirvana is a half-day service of about three hours and twenty minutes at $450, which the practice describes as combining three of its most celebrated services. An Ayurvedic Lifestyle Consultation runs 90 minutes at $195 and includes a health history review, tongue and pulse examination and a treatment plan, with herbs not included in the fee.

Services are by appointment only. The booking page lists hours of Tuesday 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Friday 12:00 PM to 6:30 PM and Saturday 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, with Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday closed. Cancellations or changes need 24 hours' notice; a missed appointment is charged half the treatment, except for emergencies or illness. Clients arriving more than 20 minutes late may not be seen and may be charged half the service. A credit card is kept on file to hold appointments. Unopened products can be returned within 14 days for a full refund. Intake, consent and skin care questionnaire forms can be downloaded before a visit.

Builds a wellness plan with each client around their body type, with Ayurveda at the center of the work.
