Tend + Nourish

The studio uses gentle, non-harmful methods meant to support skin over the long term, working with the skin's own capacity to heal rather than disrupting it with harsh or inflammatory practices. Rather than aiming for a flawless look, the focus is on balance, and the studio aims to make holistic skin care accessible to all kinds of bodies.

Every facial is built on the day. Allyson blends a custom exfoliation and finishing mask for each client using Botnia's Farm to Face back bar, and facial massage forms the foundation of the work. Manual lymphatic drainage, connective tissue massage or advanced lifting massage are added as needed. Bespoke facials cost $135 for 45 minutes, $165 for 75 minutes or $175 for 90 minutes. Sculptural Face Lifting is a 90-minute session at $200 that includes gloved inter-oral massage of the deeper facial muscles. It is not recommended during active inflamed breakouts, and a bespoke facial can be used first to clear the skin.

Attuned is the studio's one-on-one program for sensitive, reactive or stressed skin. The Attuned Skin Session costs $195 and is a 90-minute intake covering skin history, lifestyle, the nervous system and internal factors, ending with a personalized protocol. The Attuned 3 Month Program is six sessions over three months, priced at $1,100 or $375 per month, moving through three phases: Root, Tend and Bloom. The Root phase rebuilds the skin regimen around current needs, Tend addresses nutrition, nervous system, stress and internal balance, and Bloom focuses on daily rituals such as facial massage and gua sha. Email support and somatic and lifestyle guidance are included. The studio asks for at least a three-month commitment, since some clients' skin takes six to 12 months to heal.

New clients receive an in-depth holistic consultation at the first visit and should choose the new client option when booking, then complete an intake form before the appointment. Appointments are booked through Immaculate PGH. Payment is taken after treatment, and a card is held on file. Cancellations or reschedules need 48 hours' notice; later changes incur a 50% fee, and same-day cancellations and no-shows are charged the full price. Street parking is available on Penn Ave and N. Graham St.

Treats the skin as a reflection of overall wellbeing, using plant-based products and gentle methods to support the skin's own healing.
