K'AESTHETICS SPA SUITE & BOUTIQUE

K'Aesthetics Spa Suite & Boutique operates from Suite 1307 at 1311 Park Street in Alameda. It describes itself as a full-service facial spa with a boutique where clients can also buy the products it sells. The business says it aims to redefine luxury skincare for melanin-rich skin and calls itself an oasis of luxury in the Bay Area.

Treatments are tailored, and the business says it uses personalized, bespoke methods for each client. Prospective clients can start with a free virtual skincare consultation, which is bookable on the website.

The in-house skincare line, Melaninicals Clinical Skincare, was founded by owner Katherine Proctor and is the business's latest innovation. The business describes it as medical-grade and made for melanated skin, combining medical-grade ingredients with organic elements. The line is intended for hyperpigmentation, hormonal changes, eczema and aging skin, and the business says it is the first medical-grade skincare line made for melanated skin.

The products are described as free from parabens, sulfates and harsh chemicals. A site banner calls them cruelty free, paraben free, sulfate free and clinically proven. Within the range, Ageless Radiance targets premature aging and mature skin, Hormonal Harmony addresses hormone-linked breakouts, sensitivity and uneven tone, and a brightening line is aimed at dark spots and dullness. Glow Revival is for radiant, even skin. Listed prices include $25.00 for the Ultra·Oxidant Facial Tonic and $349.00 for the Up·Root Pigmentation Trio. The business also publishes The Glow Report blog, with posts on winter skincare, hyperpigmentation and hydrating ingredients.

Treatments and skincare are built around each client, with personalized, bespoke methods and skincare formulated for melanin-rich skin.
