Skin is a place to be cared for and a reason to stay awhile. A house shaped by thoughtful rituals, bathing traditions, hospitality and gathering. We look to cultures around the world and the practices people have carried for generations, bringing them into a space made warmer by the people inside it. Come for a ritual. Stay for everything around it.

Care, in many forms.

There are many ways to spend time at Skin. Come for a facial built around what your skin needs that day. Let someone work through the tension you’ve been carrying. Step into warm water for a hammam ritual, or experience the deeply satisfying simplicity of a Korean body scrub.

Some practices are familiar. Others may be completely new to you. Each gives us another way to care for the body, and another tradition worth learning about along the way.

The treatments our guests return to again and again. A little skin, bodywork, bathing and care for the season of motherhood. If you’re new to the house and wondering where to begin, begin here.

About Us

Skin was built from the belief that wellness has always been bigger than a treatment. Across cultures and generations, people have cared for one another through bathing, touch, nourishment, gathering and the simple act of making room for someone to stay awhile. We look to those traditions, alongside the ones we grew up with, as reminders that care has always been deeply connected to culture and community.

You’ll find that spirit in the rituals we offer and in everything that surrounds them. The way we welcome you, what we bring you afterward, the stories we share and the spaces we’ve created for lingering. Skin is our expression of what wellness can feel like when people and connection are at the center of it.

Inclusivity

Wellness hasn’t always felt welcoming to everyone. Too often, the industry has been shaped by class, access and a narrow idea of who belongs in the room. We wanted Skin to feel different. When you’re allowing someone to touch your body, care for your skin or simply see you in a vulnerable moment, feeling safe isn’t an extra. It’s part of the care.

That means building a house where different bodies, cultures, identities and lived experiences are reflected in the people caring for you and the people beside you. You should be able to walk through our doors and recognize something of yourself here. At Skin, belonging isn’t a statement on the wall. It’s something we work to make felt.

Lolo’s Tiny Kitchen

Care, in another form.

Lolo’s Tiny Kitchen is named for our founder’s father, who passed away before he could experience Skin for himself. He fiercely encouraged her to pursue entrepreneurship, championed what she was building and happened to love a really good massage. Skin is, in many ways, something he helped make possible even though he never got to walk through its doors.

Lolo’s gives him a place in the house. Through thoughtful bites and sips inspired by flavors from around the world, he gets to be part of caring for our guests too. Everything is small, considered and offered with care. Another way to nourish you before you leave us.

Their staff are very mindful and take care of you from the moment you walk in to the moment you walk out the door. I always look forward to visiting Skin because I know I’ll be handled with care and the calm atmosphere allows me to truly have a place of peace."
