Community Highlights: Meet Amy Palomar of The Palomar Spa

Today we’d like to introduce you to Amy Palomar.

Hi Amy, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself. 
I opened The Palomar Spa in my first year of recovery from an eating disorder. I left my job as a Lead Esthetician and entered into a year-long journey that would guide me to acceptance. During this time, I attended an esthetics conference where I heard, for the first time, a doctor speaking against dermaplaning and a nurse who refused to perform microdermabrasion. This was mind-opening to me since what is typically practiced through the industry is the philosophy of ‘to heal the skin, we must damage it’. This led me into re-educating myself on the skin as an organ and how to work with the body, not against it. When we see acne, hyperpigmentation, and aging, our body is communicating something to us, and I wouldn’t microneedle my liver to improve it, and heart surgery is a last resort, not a first option. My goal is to change the idea of “perfect skin” to healthy skin and healthy skin always looks its best. 

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
I have found great support from friends and my local community, which has helped me focus on the excitement of building a business based on relationships. I spent six months researching and using products from different lines before determining which ones I knew actually provided results and met my high standards. Being located in a suite allows me to price my services based on time, products, and my expertise. I believe people are looking for non-toxic and non-invasive treatments performed by someone who treats them like family. 

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next, you can tell us a bit more about your business?
At The Palomar Spa, we listen to your concerns your preferences and learn about your unique lifestyle and heritage. By approaching esthetics in this way, it allows us to discover why the skin is reacting and what that tells us about your skin’s health. Our goal is to address the root cause of skin concern to improve optimal dermal health. By offering an educational approach to skincare, we hope to eliminate shame and embarrassment. Caring about personal hygiene and appearance has long been practiced by all genders and races for millennia. All of our services are appropriate and safe for everyone and every skin tone.
