How Manhattan’s Queen Of Facials Rebranded, Tripled Business, And Launched A Skincare Line

Long hailed as the genius behind the best naturopathic facials in New York, with a client roster that includes Julianne Moore, Rachel Weiss, and numerous beauty editors around town, Joanna Vargas is the secret weapon of VIPs, celebrities, and professionals in New York City. Style.com calls her “the queen of the naturopathic facial” while Vogue, Allure, and endless magazines and blogs have praised the nearly magical touch she brings to the craft.What a thrill it was, then, when I got a call to help the skin care diva rebrand her already successful salon.
