At Skin Studio by Laura, I’ve created an intimate, moody space where cutting-edge skin treatments meet a therapeutic and personal experience. With eight years of experience, I offer services such as chemical peels, skin needling, and the revolutionary Morpheus8, all tailored to meet individual skin needs.

Throughout her time at The French, Khatira created many lasting memories, with a standout being the annual 5k run event supporting survivors of sex trafficking. Reflecting on her experience, she fondly remembers her friends, educators, and the events that shaped her journey.

Post-graduation, Steph’s career quickly took off. With her skills honed at The French, she secured a position at a major chain during her diploma and later transitioned to a boutique cosmetic skin clinic. Her dedication to ongoing learning and her specialization in cosmetic chemistry have positioned her as a sought-after therapist. Now, working under a cosmetic doctor, Steph continues to excel, driven by her passion for innovative skin treatments and modalities.

I decided to start my own business because I had a passion for helping people feel comfortable and confident in their own skin. I wanted to create a space where people could take a break from the hustle and bustle of life to relax and appreciate their bodies and skin.
