Stephanie Smith Skin Care

Stephanie Smith Skin Care is a single-practitioner studio in Franklin, just outside Nashville, run by an esthetician with more than 20 years in the spa industry. The focus here is holistic, results-driven skincare rather than a full spa menu—think facials, dermaplaning, microcurrent treatments, and personalized skincare consultations rather than massages or hydrotherapy circuits.

Sessions are built around diagnosing what's actually happening with a client's skin, with an emphasis on education: expect to leave with specifics on ingredients, a home routine, and an explanation of why certain products or techniques were used. The studio also sells its own retail line of clean, plant-based skincare products, described as cosmeceutical-grade and free of parabens, with organic options available for purchase after a visit.

The space serves couples and solo visitors alike, and repeat clients seem to be the norm—several reviews mention monthly appointments over a year or more. Given it's a one-person operation, appointments are by reservation only; there's no walk-in day-pass model here as you'd find at a larger day spa.

Hours run Tuesday through Saturday, with Tuesday and Wednesday from 10am to 6pm, Thursday and Friday extending to 7pm, and Saturday from 10am to 5pm. The studio is closed Sunday and Monday. Pricing falls in the moderate range for the Nashville area, though exact treatment costs aren't listed and should be confirmed when booking. Virtual consultations are also offered alongside in-studio appointments.
