Counter Culture Esthetics

Uptown service, downtown vibes

Counter Culture Esthetics is a creative, artistic beauty space established in 2017.  In 2020,  in  partnership with vic’s natural hairstylz, we expanded our services into the industry of natural hair care.  Our focus is to provide high quality,  natural & holistic beauty services at reasonable prices. We specialize in treating ethnic and aging skin types, with a range of organic and naturally derived ingredients, however our Esthetician is skilled and experienced in all skin types. our overriding goal is to create an unpretentious, all inclusive, unique experience where people of all kinds can feel beautiful, special, and well cared for.  counter culture esthetics is a celebration of the uniqueness and artistry in each of us.

Stay up to date on your skincare regimen by shopping our online store. Items can be scheduled for in-store pickup, local courier, or USPS shipping.

Beautiful skin is a commitment, achieved through a symbiotic relationship between you and your esthetician. We are the alternative to the white-walled, cookie-cutter spas you are used to. We serve skincare with a side of quirk. After your appointment, hang around to peruse the art, mingle with our sister businesses, or hang out and spin some records! We welcome you into our family.  -CJ (Owner and Lead Esthetician)

Customers reviews

What you say?

Quick shoutout to a great, small business on Grand Avenue. Counter Culture Esthetics is a great spa/skin business that offers a whole bundle of different services. The best part is its not over the top boujee so you could be a gangster, and still feel like you deserve some pampering. CJ offers services for men and women plus on top of that, she supports the AZ HIPHOP scene!"
