About Us

Day spas and costly med-spas both leave something to be desired. Many day spas focus too much on the experience whereas some med spas focus on results oftentimes at the cost of personal warmth. In many cases, both are overpriced. Balance Skin Care was formed in 2004 as we saw the need to provide clinical results at reasonable prices in a warm and personal atmosphere.

Marina is our lead-estetican and one-of-a-kind skin care specialist. Her years of experience treating clients for an array of skin care issues will be used to consult and create a customized experience for you. Marina has a deep interest in understanding and applying ingredient technology from across product lines to help our clients achieve optimal results. She also has developed a Russian-influenced technique and touch that has made her very popular with our clients. Finally, Marina is artful in her mastery of waxing.

Tanya's experience teaching doctors, nurses and estheticians as a national educator for a clinical skin care line combined with her tenure as a product specialist in a plastic surgeon's med-spa provide the foundation for her clinical expertise.

Philosophy Of Care

The Balance Philosophy of Care is that maximum results depend on a balanced lifecycle of skin preparation, professional treatments, and continued home care.

1. Skin Preparation - The skin should be brought to its optimal level of hydration, protection, and healing prior to or in parrallel professional treatment care.

2. Professional Treatments - During professional treatments, the skin should be analyzed and the protocol customized to address skin needs and client goals.

3. Home Care - To perpetuate maximum results, proper home care should include the daily use of prescribed treatment products.

Our philosophy not only lessons irritation and hyperpigmentation, but also enables sustainable, long-lasting results.

We invite you to experience the benefits of clinical results with a personal and relaxing touch by booking your appointment today! .
