Planning a girls getaway? No budget for entertaining your clients at the spa? Don’t fret, there’s a new service in town that’s bringing beauty to your doorstep – including your hotel room, office, or event space.

With more than twenty years of global experience in the beauty industry (including the opening spa director at the new Elysian Hotel), French native Fabienne Lindholm knows a thing or two about looking good—and she’s ready to share her secrets. Her new venture, Beauty Ateliers, “teaches wellness through beauty,” but not in the environs of the treatment room. That’s right, she brings her “workshop” (as in ateliers – hence the name) directly to you and your friends, family or co-workers.

What can you expect from a workshop experience?  Lindholm provides a customized consultation utilizing a high-tech Image Pro Skin Care Analysis System and you’re encouraged to bring their own products and questions to the table. You’ll have the opportunity to test out various skin care products from cleansers and exfoliators, to masks and a nifty LED light device that stimulates collagen and kills bacteria. And if you’re sick of the same old hum-drum get-together, a Beauty Ateliers workshop is the perfect excuse to get together with the girls for a casual night in—or entertain those clients in lieu of a pricey excursion to the spa. Some other ideas are:

Birthday: anti-aging, preventative care

Pre-Wedding: problem skin, healthy glow

Post-Pregnancy: melasma, hormonal conditions

Teen: skin care education, acne

Office: dry air, stress

Cost of Services:

Consultation, two or more – $35 per person

Consultation, one on one – $50

Facial Peel – Additional $35 per person

While there is no obligation to purchase any of the professional product lines (think Carita, Decleor) Lindholm retails on her website, any orders taken the day of the workshop are at a 15% discount. And the website isn’t just about great products. It’s also a portal for industry tips and trends and local health and beauty professionals.
