Q & A

  • I’m a licensed esthetician with a background in hospitality and a deep passion for skin, wellness, and client care. I opened Leyla Sufi Skin in 2020 with the intention of creating a space that blends results-driven skincare with a luxurious, personalized experience. I wanted to offer more than just treatments—I wanted to offer transformation, both in skin and in spirit.

  • My approach is rooted in education, intentionality, and customization. No two faces are the same, and neither are my treatments. I take the time to understand each client’s skin, lifestyle, diet and goals to create a tailored experience that delivers both visible results and a sense of calm. Combining holistic elements with professional products. Skin is personal—your care should be too.

  • In addition to being a licensed esthetician, I’ve completed advanced training in chemical peels, microneedling, acne management, skin revision, and holistic skincare. I regularly invest in continuing education to stay ahead of new technologies and techniques that can better serve my clients.

  • I’ve been in the industry since 2019 and launched Leyla Sufi Skin in 2020. Since then, I’ve grown my practice with intention, focusing on both skin health and client connection.

  • I genuinely love all the services I offer, but I have a soft spot for microneedling and custom facials. Microneedling is so effective for long-term results, and custom facials allow me to blend skin correction with relaxation—it’s the best of both worlds.

  • Yes, I’m passionate about sharing what I’ve learned. I will be launching my first class for estheticians that covers both skin and the business side of the industry. I believe in honest mentorship rooted in real experience, not just trends.

  • I regularly attend industry conferences like IECSC, invest in advanced trainings, and stay connected with other professionals in the field. I’m always learning because in this industry, growth is essential.

  • Beauty isn’t about perfection it’s about connection, confidence, and care. I believe self-care should feel nourishing, not performative. When you care for yourself with intention, your beauty radiates from within.

  • Outside the spa, I’m a wife and mom who loves to cook, travel, take Pilates classes, and indulge in all things cozy and cute. I find joy in the little things—solo dates, a good fragrance, a new recipe. That balance fuels everything I do.
