ABOUT

Founded on Intention.


THE FOUNDER

Hello, I'm Mimi Hernandez

My path into skincare began with a simple curiosity: what are we actually putting on our skin, and why? That question led me far beyond the treatment room—into the study of ingredients, traditional plant knowledge, medicinal chemistry, and cosmetic science.

Along the way, my background in artistry and permanent makeup shaped another part of my approach: learning to see the details, honor individuality, and enhance rather than redefine.

Mimi Hernandez Studio is where those worlds come together. I believe in thoughtful, personalized care—choosing what serves your skin rather than simply doing more. Every treatment starts with a conversation, and from there, we create an approach that makes sense for you, your skin, and your goals.

PROFESSIONAL CREDENTIALS

Training & licenses.

My work is shaped by a multidisciplinary background spanning esthetics, permanent makeup artistry, medicinal chemistry, cosmetic science, and traditional plant knowledge.

Each area of study adds a different lens to how I approach skin, ingredients, aesthetics, and restorative treatments—allowing me to combine technical understanding with thoughtful, hands-on care
