The Skin Studio

Health & Beauty in Seminole Heights

Seminole Heights is known for its charming bungalows, hip brunch spots, and a fiercely loyal community that values authenticity. When it comes to health and beauty, though, this community still has room to grow. Finding serene spas and cutting-edge aesthetic clinics in Seminole Heights can be a challenge. That's why Not Urgent is here to guide you to the best local picks.

The Skin Studio

Let’s get straight to it: The Skin Studio isn’t trendy—it’s trusted. Founded by licensed esthetician Chelsea Blake, this intimate skincare haven has become a go-to for locals who want real results without the fluff. No pushy upsells. No neon-lit chaos. Just one-on-one care, high-grade products, and expert hands that know exactly what your skin needs—even when you don’t.

Clients rave about the noticeable glow after just one treatment, the calming energy of the space, and Chelsea’s encyclopedic knowledge of skincare science. Whether you're battling breakouts, dryness, sun damage, or just want to maintain a healthy glow in Florida's humid climate, The Skin Studio is where Seminole Heights gets serious about skin.

The Vibe

Located on Florida Avenue, The Skin Studio feels like stepping into a cozy bungalow-meets-apothecary. Natural light filters in through gauzy curtains. The waiting area is quiet, not corporate. There's a rotating shelf of indie skincare products—carefully vetted, no marketing fluff. You’ll be offered tea or citrus water and immediately feel like you’re in someone’s very stylish (and very calming) living room.

There are no gimmicky LED masks or over-hyped fads here—just customized, evidence-based facials using top-tier brands like GlyMed, Face Reality, and Sorella Apothecary.

Services That Made It #1

Chelsea’s Signature Facial is the star:

  • 75 minutes of targeted treatment
  • Thorough consultation and skin analysis
  • Enzyme exfoliation, extractions (only if needed), facial massage, and custom masking
  • Optional add-ons like LED light therapy or dermaplaning

For clients dealing with acne, the Acne Bootcamp is a game-changer—paired with product guidance and diet tips, it's gotten high praise from those who’ve tried everything else.

Other client favorites include:

  • Dermaplaning Glow Facial – leaves skin baby-smooth
  • Back Facial – perfect for summer and sweat-prone skin
  • Seasonal Enzyme Peel – gentle, effective, and smells amazing (think cranberry in fall, citrus in spring)

What Sets It Apart

  • Truly personalized care: No two facials are the same—Chelsea adjusts every treatment based on how your skin is doing that day.
  • Product integrity: Every product used is free of parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrance, and junky fillers.
  • No product pressure: Chelsea gives you thoughtful recommendations, but you’ll never feel like you’re being sold to.
  • Client loyalty: Many of her clients have been coming for years, which says everything you need to know.
