Jess Bowers

A facial with Jess Bowers in the West Village or Paris (she splits her time) is something different. The holistic aesthetician offers clients a less is more approach while leaving them with sculpted and glowing skin. Visitors to her space will find themselves falling asleep in the bed during the facial as one's energy is reset. You'll awake feeling and looking like a new person. She's not pushing products or even necessarily extracting. She'll assess your skincare needs onsite and decide what's needed (maybe it's even just an energy shift).
