Essence Of Beauty

An Ottawa skin and facial studio focused on acne and long-term skin health, Essence of Beauty is run by licensed esthetician Eva, its founder and skin specialist. Treatment options centre on the Radiance Hydro Infusion facial, advanced peel treatments and acne correction programs, along with customized facials and a holistic, natural approach to product selection. Consultations come in two forms: a 30-minute general skin consultation priced at $50 and a 45-minute acne consultation priced at $75, the latter covering skin history, lifestyle factors and a home-care plan. New clients complete intake documentation, and first in-clinic visits require a deposit equal to half the appointment price; the practice asks for 48 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule and charges no-show appointments in full. The studio schedules appointments Wednesday through Friday, with openings until 6:30 p.m.
