About Me

Advanced Esthetics,
Rooted in Nature
Hi, I'm Kayton, the heart behind Tender Earth Esthetics
My love for skincare began at a young age. I experienced my very first facial at 12 years old, and from the first time I spoke with an esthetician and stepped foot inside a spa, I knew I was home.
As I learned more about the skin, and the ways different ingredients, formulations, and treatments can positively impact our largest organ—my desire to become a practicing esthetician only grew stronger.
Later, as I became more intentional about my own health and began paying closer attention to the ingredients and products I brought into my home, I realized I wasn’t giving that same level of care and consideration to my workspace.
That realization became the beginning of Tender Earth.
Tender Earth was born where my love for clinical-grade, results-driven esthetics met my appreciation for holistic, nature-minded care.
As I carefully began creating the environment in which my practice would live and grow, a thoughtfully low- and non-toxic approach became one of its foundations...I wanted to create a space where my clients never felt they had to choose between science-backed results and organically minded skincare.
Instead, Tender Earth exists in the space between the two—combining advanced treatments, professional skincare, intentional ingredients, and holistic principles to offer the best of both worlds.
My Approach
Low-Tox Mindful Care
I am conscious of the ingredients I use, the enviroment I create, and the impact I make.
Barrier First Always
Healthy skin starts with a strong barrier. Every treatment is designed to strenghten and protect.
Holistic Skin
Health
I treat the skin as a living organ–supporting it's function, not just it's appearance.
Personalized
Results
No two people or skin's are the same. Every treatment is specially designed for your goals, and what your skin can handle.
Nature + Science
I pair nutrient-dense, organically minded skinacre with advanced technoology and clinical techniques.

A Little More About Me
Outside the treatment room, you can find me in the mountains of Western North Carolina with my husband and our dog, Muffin. I'm a lover of nature, slow mornings, good coffee and food, and creating a life rooted in intention and purpose.
​
I believe self-care is not selfish, it's essential. My goal is to create a space where you feel cared for seen, and supported in your skin health journey
