Got treated to the Dermaplaning by Stephanie. Never even knew this treatment existed till she informed me. My skin has never felt so naked, clean, and smooth. I can’t stop touching my face. Would defiantly recommend Stephanie for any of her treatments. Top notch service and knowledge.

Had my very first spray tan with Steph and loved it so I booked another appointment to be nice and bronzed for my besties wedding! Steph was very professional and made me feel comfortable. She pays great attention to detail and ensures your tan looks even everywhere on your body. Would highly recommended booking a spray tan at Oak & Essence! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A beautiful before and after of our new Dermaplaning service! Love the instant results this service provides.
✨ What is Dermaplaning? ✨

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliating treatment that gently removes dead skin cells and peach fuzz from the surface of your skin. Using a specialized blade, we carefully exfoliate your skin, leaving it smooth, radiant, and refreshed!

🌿 Benefits of Dermaplaning:

	•	Smoother Skin: Instantly softens and smooths your skin’s texture.
	•	Brighter Complexion: Reveals fresh, glowing skin by removing dull layers.
	•	Better Product Absorption: Skincare products penetrate more deeply and work more effectively.
	•	Flawless Makeup Application: No more peach fuzz means foundation glides on effortlessly!

Whether you’re looking for a radiant glow or smoother makeup application, dermaplaning is the perfect way to refresh your skin. Curious to try it? Book your session with Oak & Essence and experience the magic of dermaplaning! 🌟

✨ Why Book a Facial at Oak & Essence?✨

Whether you’re a skincare enthusiast or new to facials, there are so many reasons to treat yourself to this transformative experience! At Oak & Essence, our facials are more than just a way to pamper yourself—they’re an essential step in your skincare journey. Here’s why a facial is one of the best investments you can make for your skin:

1. Deep Cleansing – Clear out impurities, dirt, and dead skin that daily routines might miss! Facials help unclog pores and prevent breakouts.

2. Targeted Treatments – Whether you’re dealing with dryness, sensitivity, or aging concerns, we tailor each facial to meet your skin’s unique needs.

3. Boosted Circulation – Facials stimulate blood flow, bringing oxygen and nutrients to the surface of your skin for a healthy glow.

4. Stress Relief – There’s nothing like a calming environment and gentle touch to help you relax, recharge, and reduce stress!

5. Enhanced Product Absorption – Facials prep your skin to absorb products more effectively, making your at-home routine even more effective.

Book a facial with Oak & Essence and let your skin shine its brightest! 🌟 Your skin will thank you.
Get that sun-kissed glow without the sun damage! Our custom spray tans at Oak & Essence are designed to give you a flawless, natural look that lasts. Book your appointment today and step into your glow!
Did you know that getting a spray tan can actually help boost your mood? It’s true! Here’s how:

💥 Confidence Boost: A fresh tan makes your skin look radiant and even-toned, which can help you feel more confident in your own skin. Confidence = instant mood boost! 💃

☀️ Sun-Kissed Glow: While it’s not the same as soaking up actual sunshine, the warm, bronzed look of a spray tan can mimic that “just back from vacation” vibe. When you feel like you’ve just spent time in the sun, your brain can release dopamine, the “feel-good” hormone.

🌟 Instant Gratification:Spray tans provide nearly instant results, giving you a quick, visible transformation. And who doesn’t love that surge of happiness from seeing an immediate glow-up?

✨Self-Care Ritual: Taking time for yourself, whether it’s for a spray tan, a facial, or other beauty treatments, gives you a chance to relax and focus on you. That little bit of pampering can leave you feeling happier and more refreshed.

So next time you’re looking for a mood lift, consider a spray tan! Your skin will glow, and your brain will thank you with a hit of dopamine!

✨ Why You Should Treat Yourself to a Facial ✨

Facials aren’t just a luxury—they’re essential for healthy, glowing skin! 💆‍♀️ Here’s why:

1. Deep Cleansing: A facial removes dirt, oil, and impurities that build up over time, giving your skin a fresh start.
 
2. Exfoliation: Say goodbye to dead skin cells! Facials reveal a smoother, brighter complexion.

3. Hydration Boost: Facials replenish moisture, leaving your skin soft and glowing, especially with seasonal changes.

4. Anti-Aging: Regular facials help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while boosting collagen production.

5. Stress Relief: Not only does your skin benefit, but a facial is also the perfect way to relax and unwind. You deserve it!

“Hello, September! 🍂 As summer is winding down, I wanted to take a moment to say hi and reintroduce myself. I’m Steph, the owner of Oak & Essence. I can’t believe it’s almost been a year since I opened in October 2023—where does the time go?

I hope you had an amazing summer and are settling back into fall routines and back to school! Fall is a great time to start taking care of your skin again. With the cool, dry weather around the corner, we can help create the perfect skincare routine for you! 

Plus, spray tans aren’t just for summer! As our tans start to fade and we plan our fall and winter getaways, a spray tan is the perfect way to keep that summer glow going strong. ✨

I’ve always had a passion for skincare and love sharing my knowledge with others. This spring, we added spray tans alongside facials, and it’s been such a fun journey! I’m also working on adding a couple of new services this fall, so stay tuned for updates!

Hello! I’m Steph Brajkovic, the proud owner and skincare enthusiast behind Oak & Essence, a serene home-based spa in Strathmore, AB. Born and raised in Alberta, I grew up in Calgary and have called Strathmore home for the past 10 years. With a deep passion for beauty and wellness, I specialize in providing custom spray tans and rejuvenating facials that leave my clients feeling radiant and revitalized.

My journey into the world of skincare began ten years ago, driven by a desire to help others look and feel their best. Over the years, I’ve honed my skills and knowledge, continually updating my techniques to offer the latest and most effective treatments. At Oak & Essence, I take pride in creating a personalized and relaxing experience for each client, ensuring they receive the highest quality of care and attention.

When I’m not at the spa, you can find me enjoying life with my wonderful family—my husband, my teenage stepdaughter, and our two Saint Bernard furbabies. I love camping, relaxing in my backyard, and exploring new craft beers. I believe that true beauty comes from within, and my goal is to help you embrace your natural glow with confidence.
Thank you for choosing Oak & Essence. I look forward to helping you achieve the radiant, healthy skin you deserve!

Warm regards,

Steph Brajkovic
