About

Urban Skin Works is an owner-operated esthetic studio that the business describes as a premiere skin care day spa. Tallie Smit-Pearson opened it after four years working as a Professional Skin Therapist, and it is set up as a small, private space rather than a large multi-room spa.

The studio aims for a calm, quiet setting where clients can relax and recover from daily stress. The stated goal is to make each guest the main focus of the visit and to go beyond what they expected, with tea or coffee and water offered on request.

The facial menu is organized around the skin's needs. Options include a Signature Facial in 30, 60 or 90 minutes, Acne Clearing and AGESmart Firming facials, a Brightening Facial, a Teen Facial, and Soothe and Calm Facial designed for sensitive skin, including people dealing with eczema, rosacea, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, redness or dryness. A Cooling Peri and Menopause Facial is also offered, along with a Back Facial in 60 or 90 minutes.

Resurfacing and peels are a focus. Dermaplaning removes dead skin cells and fine hair from the surface of the skin with a blade, with no downtime. It can be paired with a MicroPeel that uses lactic acid, or enzymes for sensitive skin. Plump Peel is a two-phase peel with no downtime, suited to all skin types, and it can be booked alone or with a Signature Facial. Both dermaplaning and Plump Peel are typically done as a series, and the studio suggests dermaplaning about every six weeks.

Lash and brow services include tinting with semi-permanent color, which lasts up to six weeks, and keratin-based lash and brow lamination, a three-step semi-permanent process whose results last up to eight weeks. Waxing covers the face, body and intimate areas, from small areas such as chin and ears to full legs and full back. Body treatments such as the Bikini Facial and Fanny Facial combine cleansing, steam, exfoliation and extractions for the bikini and buttock areas.

Emphasis is on educating clients about their own skin so they understand their treatments, and the studio stocks professional Dermalogica products that can be combined into a home routine.

A quiet, private studio intended as a calm retreat from everyday stress.
