The Skincare Studio by Claudia Duran

The Skincare Studio by Claudia Duran at 2934 M Street NW, Second Floor is a boutique skincare studio in the lower Georgetown commercial district, providing the personalized facial and professional skincare treatments that the licensed aesthetician Claudia Duran has developed for the Georgetown skin care client. The eponymous studio, which names the establishment for the aesthetician rather than the abstract concept, signals the personal service approach that the boutique skincare studio provides: the Georgetown client who books with Claudia Duran is accessing the specific expertise, the product knowledge, and the accumulated understanding of the client’s skin that develops over the sustained aesthetic relationship.

The professional facial at the level that a boutique aesthetician practice provides is fundamentally different from the facial at the large spa or the facial chain: the boutique aesthetician who sees the same client on a regular appointment basis builds the understanding of the skin’s seasonal changes, the reactions to the specific products that the client uses between appointments, and the progress of the skin goals that the treatment program is designed to achieve. The Georgetown client who maintains the regular facial appointment with the same aesthetician develops the skincare program that produces the cumulative improvement that the occasional treatment cannot achieve.

The second-floor M Street address at 2934 provides the studio with the private setting appropriate to the intimate skincare consultation and the facial treatment that requires the physical privacy that the street-level retail format does not provide.

Hours run Tuesday through Saturday.
