Consultation
30 minA talk and a look under the lamp: how your skin behaves across the year, what you do outdoors and what you use at home. No facial is done.
Flagstaff, Arizona
Lavender is a skin studio of two licensed estheticians on Aspen Avenue. High, dry air and strong sun change how skin feels from month to month, so every facial follows the season.

Season by season
At 7,000 feet the air holds little water and the sun is strong. Each season has its own facial, and its own pace.

Cold, wind and heated rooms leave skin feeling tight and rough, and snow glare adds to a day on the slopes. We slow down: warm towels, a longer massage and a richer mask.

Wind picks up, pollen arrives and the sun climbs before skin is ready for it. A lighter facial with a calming mask, and a talk about sunscreen as the days lengthen.

Long days on trails and patios at 7,000 feet, with strong sun and little moisture in the air. A shorter, cooler facial: gentle cleansing, a cooling mask and a light finish.

Cool mornings, dry afternoons and a summer of sun to take stock of. A steady facial with a light exfoliating step, to ready skin for the cold months.

Your estheticians

Esthetician and owner
Gisel grew up in Flagstaff and opened Lavender for neighbors who spend their days on trails, slopes and job sites. She plans each facial around the season and writes a short note of how your skin was, so the next visit starts there. She is in Tuesday to Friday.

Esthetician
Karissa came up from the Valley and works the same way: ask first, then slow down. Many of her clients are runners and cyclists, and she sees most of our shave-day facials. She is in Thursday to Saturday.
“I come in once a season now. The winter visit, with the warm towels, is the one I look forward to.”
“They asked what I do all day before they touched my face. I spend it on a bike, and it showed in how they planned the visit.”
“Nobody rushed me, and I left knowing what to put on before a day outside.”
