Potion TX
Rather than clients trying to figure out exactly what their skin needs based on a long, confusing menu of treatments, Potion TX takes out the guesswork. Austinites need only choose a length of time for their appointment, and Potion tailors every spa treatment to each client’s individual needs, utilizing whatever modality is called for based on the client’s history and current goals.

Skin by Rachel
Skin by Rachel is the result of esthetician and founder Rachel Spillman-Johnson’s desire to deliver a fully-curated facial experience for each of her clients. The best way to do this was to bring her esthetic and business expertise into her own practice. In addition to offering effective skincare treatments, Rachel also offers waxing, lash extensions, and other esthetic services.
