Founder, Shamara Bondaroff, grew up in a vegan and holistic home in Brooklyn, which fostered her interest in and passion for health and beauty since childhood. She also started traveling extensively - first with her family, then on her own - and loved learning how skin care rituals differed from country to country. This all came to fruition when, after fifteen years in Fashion and Art, she attended Atelier Esthétique Institute of Esthetics to became a facialist. She incorporates all she has learned in her skin care practice, taking a holistic approach that best serves her clients’ skin and lifestyle.
