About KIN Aesthetics | Professional Korean Skincare Backed by Community

Sarah is a solo esthetician, K-beauty enthusiast, and founder of Kin Aesthetics.

During her university days, living in South Korea, she became very interested in the intentionality and innovation which surrounds Korean skincare. 

A decade later she opened her own skincare studio which was founded on Korean rituals + skincare philosophies, and as an extension, began sharing her passion with other estheticians through distribution and education.
