Kismet Skin Co. is a skincare studio in Washington, DC, founded by Ashley A. Taylor, who opened it in 2024. The studio describes itself as neither a traditional spa nor a medspa. It works closely with a medspa for injectables, lasers and regenerative aesthetics, and it does not offer everything itself, so it refers clients out for services it does not provide. The studio operates under the medical direction of Erika Barry, FNP. It describes its space as intimate, with one-on-one service.
Every facial is built around the individual. The studio assesses skin at the first visit and then curates the facial, discussing the recommended treatment with the client beforehand. Curated facials run 60 to 75 minutes starting at $335 and can be shortened to a 30-minute version. They can include dermaplaning, DiamondGlow, Glo2Facial, Glacial and LED therapy. Glo2Facial is a 60-minute 4-in-1 facial starting at $375, and Back Facial is a 45-minute option starting at $195.
Advanced treatments are offered once a client has had a curated facial to confirm eligibility. MOXI laser is a 45-minute non-ablative treatment starting at $749 for uneven pigmentation, sun damage, tone and texture, and the studio describes it as suitable for all skin tones year-round. Skinpen microneedling is a 60-minute treatment starting at $550 for anti-aging, acne scarring and pigmentation. AdvaTX Laser is a 60-minute treatment starting at $649 for acne, unwanted pigment, redness and acne scarring, done without numbing and best as a series of three or more. Chemical peels are 30 minutes starting at $250 with downtime from none to one week. AgeJet Therapy, a 60-minute plasma treatment, starts at $1,149.
The studio says it was named an award-winning boutique skincare studio and that readers of D.C. Modern Luxury Magazine voted it Best Facial in 2024 and 2025. Its team has been named an ambassador for Glo2Facial, AdvaTX, Glacial Skin and Omnilux LED.
Booking is by appointment only, including for product purchases. New clients start with a curated consultation or The First Date curated facial. New appointments are released monthly on the 15th at 12 noon EST, typically about two and a half months ahead, and a waitlist is available through the online booking page, though joining does not guarantee a spot. A credit card secures every booking. Changes or cancellations with less than 48 hours notice incur a $150 fee, and same-day cancellations and no-shows are charged the full service price. Appointments cannot be transferred. Clients should arrive no more than five minutes early and complete intake forms and consents beforehand. Clients arriving more than 15 minutes late may have treatments shortened or not honored. Children, including infants, cannot attend appointments, though minors with their own booking are welcome with a parent or guardian. The phone line, (202) 505-5220, is text-only, and the email is hello@kismetskinco.com.
Each facial is curated after a skin assessment, and treatment plans are a starting blueprint that can change on the day based on skin condition.
Small and intimate, with one-on-one service throughout.
