“It’s transitioned over the years. That was the rst thing that was rewarding: the ability to help people with their skin,” Georges said. “Now, it’s really grown. A lot of people come here, especially post-pandemic, for a place where they can decompress, relax or forget whatever’s going on for an hour or two.” The new McKinney location provides her business more space to treat more people, she said. “Before, it was treating peo- ple’s skin in a one-room suite.

A New York native, Georges at rst kept her 9-to-5 job and did skin care in her free time. However, about ve years ago, she said a close friend passed away, and she relocated to Texas to be closer to her remaining friends. In fall 2017, she opened a space in the Willow Bend Market in Plano before moving to her spot at 1402 S. Custer Road in McKin- ney in October 2021. No matter the location, her motivation for what she does has remained constant: making her clients feel better about themselves.
