Julia March • Integral Skin Care

Julia March is a skin care therapist who specializes in facials exclusively. She is a dedicated professional who is committed to deliver exceptional service to her clients not just the first time, but every time. Julia believes that a work done with an open loving heart and attitude makes a world of a difference.

Her fascination with skin care began at early age when she learned eastern European beauty secrets from her grandmother, her first teacher. "She used to scold me for being on the sun for too long and treated my sunburns with sour cream and honey and oat milk mask afterwards. Her warning, 'Nobody is going to marry you if you have freckles' proved incorrect, but her enchantment with the skin became mine as well," Julia remarks.

Her continued interest in beauty care led her to the oldest esthetic school in NYC, Christine Valmy International School of Aesthetics. She also attended the Dermologica Institute (NYC) and was trained in Medical Esthetics by Anna-Dee Rinehart, a pioneer in medical esthetics.

From June 2000 until July 2002 she was the senior aesthetician at one of the most prestigious salons in NYC where she offered treatments to celebrities, models and editors including Brigitte Hill, Eva Herzigova, Liv Tyler, Miranda Brooks and others. She began her own practice in Soho in September 2002. Her clientele consists of sophisticated businesswomen, models and socialites like Nian Fish, Natane Bordeau (actress and model), River Lloyd (celebrity hairstylist), Allison Jacobs (writer and director, Uptown Girls) and others.

Julia believes that skin is as unique as the face it covers and that one formula does not fit all. That’s why each treatment is custom tailored to fit the client’s needs, which vary according to skin type, skin conditions and seasonality. As a result of Julia’s vast experience and knowledge she created an effective results-oriented skin care program.

Dynamic Skin Assessment is a powerful diagnostic tool she developed to help her perfect each treatment. Each of her facials includes numerous procedures that work synergistically to produce amazing results. Every session consists of an intensive enzyme and/or other exfoliation treatment, which is combined with special massage techniques to increase blood circulation and oxygenation of the skin cells, and stimulation of the lymphatic system to rid the face of toxins. Treatments are finished with a soothing hand, arm, neck and shoulder massage and relaxing foot reflexology.

Julia’s philosophy of beauty reduces to one principle: beauty is a process of destressing and rejuvenation that covers the whole being, including the body (nourish it), the mind (respect it), and the soul (touch it). When all three aspects are in harmony the client looks good on the outside and feels good on the inside resulting in skin that glows with renewed radiance.
