La Belle Studio Middletown

Launched in 2014 by Tiffani Mitchell-Jenkinson, the business began as a modest beauty service operation run from her apartment. It now operates two locations, in Wilmington and Middletown, where staff offer lash services, facials, permanent makeup, waxing and brow work. According to the salon, it presents itself as a beauty and wellness boutique for women, and it cites several Delaware business honors, including a Delaware Business Times Fastest 50 ranking in the emerging growth division.

The studio says it customizes each treatment to the guest's own needs and concerns. Every service begins with an in-depth conversation about a client's beauty and skincare goals, so the technician can plan around what the client wants. The team says it keeps training through quality education programs, and its estheticians are described as licensed.

Lash services range from classic one-to-one sets to volume fans, mixed sets and angel styles, with fills offered at more than one level. Facial options run from quick add-ons such as jelly masque and LED light therapy to customized facials, signature facials, HydraFacials and a glass skin peel. The Acne Bootcamp program starts with a skin analysis or acne consult and builds a personalized plan of in-studio treatments and a home care routine, with peels often scheduled about every two weeks.

Permanent makeup, including brows and touch-ups, requires a consult before booking so that expectations are realistic. Clients with prior tattooing, textured or problematic skin, scars, sun-damaged skin or rosacea are asked to come in person for that consult. The studio also sells skincare and merchandise, offers gift certificates, and lists wedding makeup among its services.

The studio says each treatment is customized to the individual client, and every service starts with a detailed discussion of beauty and skincare needs.
