Book a consultation with me

The easiest way to start is a free phone call. If you'd rather meet in person, come in to the clinic. I'll look at your skin, test a colour on it and put together a plan for you. The in-clinic consult is $50 plus HST, and it's credited to your treatment if you go ahead. There's no pressure either way, and you'll know the price for your case before you decide anything.
