Born and Borrowed

BORN + BORROWED Holistic Beauty, in collaboration with Ember Acupuncture, is a cozy haven steps away from Albany's lively Solano Avenue Shopping and Dining District.

Here, a mindful approach is taken in encouraging your natural radiance to flourish, with treatments promoting relaxation and transformation, inside and out. You're welcomed without judgement wherever you are on your journey in beauty and well-being, and whether it's your first time to the studio or you return frequently, please know that you're appreciated and valued each time you visit.

In addition to nurturing, natural skin and brow care, the apothecary and treatment room shelves are stocked with thoughtfully chosen goods from small businesses creating unique, vibrant, cruelty-free products. Many are handmade in small batches and contained in low waste packaging. I strive to collaborate with companies that tread lightly, give back, care about the world we live in, and whenever possible, are founded by women, people of color, and LGBTQ folks. I truly believe in the products I recommend, and when you purchase them for yourself or as a gift, you're supporting good people doing good things.
