Skincare That
Feels Like Magic
Arcane Glow Esthetics is a private skincare studio in Durham, NC. that seamlessly blends science-backed methods with ritual. Every skin service begins with an in-depth consultation and is fully customized to account for your goals and lifestyle.
With transparent pricing and a focus on skin health, corrective treatments, and long-term results, each service is crafted with education,intuition, and intention.
If you’ve been looking for an esthetician that takes their time and infuses education and care into every step, you’re home! Rushed consultations, high pressure sales tactics and bland facial rooms that are entirely devoid of personality shouldn’t be the norm. I created Arcane Glow because I believe that every client should be treated like a friend–with respect for their time, money, and energy.
“If it’s any indicator of how awesome Alaina is, I gladly drive 30 mins each way for my facials and have zero regrets. Alaina is so kind and helpful with educating clients on how to care for their skin in every way possible. I always feel so refreshed after my facials and appreciate how welcoming and relaxing her space is. And she’s never once made me feel difficult for needing to work with a specific budget. I’m so glad I found her and would encourage anyone considering booking with her to do so!”

“It's hard to believe how not that long ago I could not imagine showing up to work without at least foundation, concealer, eyebrows and eyeliner, for fear of looking undone or unwell. I now show up every day with a bare face, glowing skin, and feeling as radiant and confident as ever.”

“Alaina is so knowledgeable! She has really improved my skin with her facial services and by helping revamp my at-home skincare routine. I absolutely love getting facials with Alaina at Arcane Glow; they are so relaxing and personalized with music of choice, essential oils, shoulder or scalp massage, and other special additions! Highly recommend”
