Hey, Gorgeous! Nation’s Number-One Provider of Botox Opens in Rice Village

A demo room at SkinSprit's grand opening on Sept. 30

THE NATION'S LARGEST reseller of Botox and filler has opened a location in Rice Village. San Francisco-based SkinSpirit opened its first Houston spa at 2501 Times Blvd. last week, when 150 pretty people filed in to the 2,400-square-foot space for a Champagne toast and to sample the services.


SkinSpirit feels more like a spa than a medical facility, offering facials along with injectables and laser treatments, all supervised by plastic surgeon Dean Vistnes. For the Covid-wary, the spa is following health and hygiene protocols by employing measures such as health screenings, social distancing, added safety equipment and heightened sanitation.

"Houstonians pride themselves on health and wellness, and our goal is to create a destination where anyone can feel their best with the help of our comprehensive services," said CEO and co-founder Lynn Heublin, who started her career in the tech field in the '90s, working with start-ups and video game companies. She founded SkinSpirit with Vistnes in 2003. She prides herself on the company's ability to merge science, technology and wellness techniques to help their clients feel their best.

IF YOUR SUNDAY nights could use a little sparkle—and a lot of fried chicken—The Marigold Club has just the thing. Starting May 25 at 5pm, the Montrose hotspot known for its playful mix of Southern charm and London polish is rolling out a new weekly tradition: Fried Chicken & Champagne Sundays.

This isn’t your average comfort food situation. We're talking a shareable fried chicken dinner for two, made with farm-raised birds from Deeply Rooted Ranch, and served alongside buttery whipped potatoes, minted peas, aged cheddar scones, and some over-the-top sauces — including a foie gras sauce supreme that’s as extra as it sounds.

THIS FALL, LEBRINA Jackson, owner of Escape Spa in Cypress, is taking her wisdom and joie de wellness to the jungle. Far beyond the walls of her beautiful spa, she’s aiming to create a quiet space for people to work on their personal growth in a community-centric atmosphere. She shares what participants will get out of the trip and why it’s important to take time for self-care in 2025.

Why is it important for people to “retreat”? Life can feel like a non-stop marathon, and sometimes we forget to just... breathe. Retreating offers a chance to step off the treadmill for a bit and hit the reset button. It's about giving your body and mind some much-needed TLC, allowing for genuine relaxation and rejuvenation. Beyond the personal perks, retreats often create a cool sense of community, connecting you with others on a similar path. By carving out space for self-reflection, you can recharge and return to your daily life with a clearer head and a bit more pep in your step.
