Book Now for Holiday Glow: Skin Therapy by Erica K. Gets You Party-Ready

Office parties, Friendsgiving, family dinners, holiday photos, New Year's Eve. The season fills up fast, and so does the appointment book. If you want your skin looking and feeling its best for all of it, now's the time to book with Skin Therapy by Erica K. in downtown Wichita.

Why book now

Erica works by appointment only, Tuesday through Saturday, in a one-on-one studio, so holiday openings are limited. Booking a few weeks ahead gets you the dates you want, and it gives you time to plan more than one visit. Glowing skin is easier to build over a couple of treatments than to rush the week of a party.

Facials for a holiday glow

Every facial on Erica's Bespoke Facial Menu is customized at your appointment, using a mix of professional Western and Korean skincare treatments. You choose a tier when you book:

• Bespoke Essentials I (75 minutes, $130). A baseline for balance, clarity and glow, with an advanced treatment and one or two add-ons.
• Bespoke Signature II (90 minutes, $160). A fully customized facial built around what your skin needs right now, whether that's deep hydration, brightening, clarifying or age-defying care, with two or three add-ons.
• Bespoke Opulence III (15-minute foot soak plus a 90-minute facial, $185). A warm magnesium foot soak, tea or coffee, a personalized facial, aromatherapy and a neck and shoulder massage. It's a good pick when the season has you running on empty.

Erica also offers professional Korean skincare treatments such as Carboxy, an oxygenating treatment that's deeply hydrating, and Fire & Ice. If you're planning a deeper treatment before a big event, ask Erica how far ahead to schedule it.

Brows and lashes that last through New Year's

Brow and lash services are an easy way to look polished at every gathering without extra time in front of the mirror:

• Lash lift + tint ($90) lasts about four to six weeks.
• Brow lamination + hybrid tint ($90) keeps brows brushed up and lifted for about six weeks.
• Lift Me Up ($160) combines a lash lift and brow lamination, with tint for both.
• Eyebrow shape + hybrid tint ($55), a hybrid tint ($40) or an eyebrow tidy ($25) for a quick refresh.

Because lifts and lamination last for weeks, one appointment in late November or early December can carry you through the whole holiday stretch. See the full brow and lash menu.

Makeup for the big night

Makeup was Erica's first love. Her special occasion makeup ($85–$95, 45–60 minutes) is long-wearing and photo-ready, so it's a fit for a company party, a gala or family photos. As Erica puts it, the best primer for makeup is a good skincare routine.

Book your holiday appointments

Book online through Erica's Vagaro page or call (316) 372-3679. The studio is at 117 E. 2nd St. N. in the Hayford building in downtown Wichita. A card on file holds your appointment, and Erica asks for 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule. That's worth remembering when holiday plans shift.
