welcome
to a new way of understanding beauty
At Surface Tension Beauty, beauty is viewed as more than skin deep. It is influenced by stress, rest, emotion, routine, touch, and the way we move through the world. Through psych-informed massage, facial therapy, and beauty rituals, this is a space to slow down, reconnect, and support both skin and nervous system with care and intention.
Kirsten welcomes both neurotypical and neurodivergent clients, including those with ADHD and Autism. As a former psychologist, she understands that comfort, communication, sensory preferences, and individual needs matter. Accommodations are not an afterthought—they are simply part of creating a supportive experience.
There is no expectation to "do relaxation" here. You don't need to keep your eyes closed, stay silent, stop fidgeting, or pretend to enjoy something that doesn't feel comfortable. You're welcome to chat, ask questions, move when you need to, or simply enjoy the treatment in whatever way feels right for you.
Because feeling safe, understood, and comfortable in your own skin is an important part of beauty too.
