Services
Airbrush Tanning
Custom Airbrush Tanning provides a natural-looking, UV-free tan tailored to your skin tone. Our skilled estheticians apply the solution manually for even coverage and a radiant glow. This safe, effective treatment delivers instant results without sun exposure.
Sugaring
Sugaring uses natural paste for effective hair removal lasting 4-6 weeks. This method reduces ingrown hairs and hair regrowth over time. We offer full-body sugaring services with competitive pricing for all treatment areas.
Teeth Whitening
Our 15-20 minute teeth whitening treatment uses peroxide gel and cold light technology to brighten smiles by 1-7 shades. The non-invasive procedure requires no recovery time and delivers immediate, visible results in a single session.
Facials
Custom facials address specific skin concerns using professional-grade products. Treatments include deep cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration to improve skin texture and radiance. Our estheticians tailor each session to individual skin types and goals.
Bikini Lightening
Bikini Lightening treatments reduce hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone using chemical exfoliants. This three-session series improves skin texture and brightness in sensitive areas. Requires prior waxing for optimal results.

Report
Updated: I heard from the owner and she was very apologetic and accommodating. Thank you I had the worst experience here - after moving my appointment 4 hours after the original time (after I already showed up and then having to reorganize my entire day) they did not acknowledge/apologize for it at all when I came back. Then after paying $250 for a 60 minute facial they did in 40 minutes. When I mentioned this at checkout I got a snooty response back and dismissed. Customer service 0/10 and facial wasn't anything special.

Loved my experience here and will be back. Ambience, professionalism, and knowledge of the products made me feel at ease. Meka was wonderful, and I wish I had gotten The Perfect Derma Peel sooner.

Report
Bri is nice, but Meka's lack of care is displaying through her bad customer service. She gives short notice on appointment acceptance (once you book an appointment, she has to accept the appointment for it to be confirmed). She is unwilling to discuss skin sensitivity and other concerns. Not ever going back.

As a Southeast advocate, I'm always looking to support black owned businesses. Right after The W hotel sold downtown, I was at a lost for where to go for my Brazilians. But I found Beauty Skin Bar, right on 8th. a little 15 minute stroll from Eastern Market.and I am SOLD! This is my 3rd or 4th time, Bri is excellent. Very nice, very professional and the level of customer service is always pleasant.
The facility is clean, COVID compliant and calming. There's always ocean sounds and music in my room. I also notice the little things like sage and kind messages placed around the room. Also I tried a hard wax Brazilian today - IT WAS MY FIRST TIME AND IM NEVER GO BACK TO SOFT WAX. Moral of the story - I love it here and you should too
