What this experience really looks like
A short introduction to your First Time Facial, the team behind it, and the way we approach skin at Escape.
Your skin is more than what shows on the surface.
Your First Time Facial is a customised treatment paired with a comprehensive skin consultation and personalised home care plan. Before we treat anything, we look deeper. We assess barrier health, hydration, inflammation and the internal factors influencing how your skin behaves.
Lasting results do not come from band aid fixes. They come from understanding what your skin actually needs, then building from there.
This is your starting point
It is not just for someone who has never had a facial. It is for anyone ready to approach their skin properly.
Tried Countless Products
You have a shelf full of serums and routines and you still feel uncertain about what your skin actually needs.
Done Nothing So Far
You have never built a skin routine and you want to start the right way, with someone who can guide you.
Overwhelmed By Options
Too much information, too many opinions, not enough clarity. You want a clear plan you can actually follow.
Ready For Consistency
You value experience and results in equal measure. You want to feel heard, not rushed, and you want a real skin journey.
New To Escape
You are looking for a calm, professional space and a therapist who treats your skin like it is theirs to look after.
Looking For Balance
You want results and relaxation. A treatment that nurtures while it works, with space to slow down and breathe.
Tailored. Intentional. Considered.
Your skin therapist designs your treatment around what your skin needs most right now, not a fixed protocol.
We look beyond
the surface
We assess barrier health, hydration levels, inflammation and the internal influences shaping your skin. The conversation comes first, because the treatment that follows depends entirely on it.
No assumptions. No guesswork. Every question we ask has a purpose, and every answer shapes what comes next.
A facial built
around you
Customised cleansing, exfoliation, treatment and finishing layers, chosen and adjusted for your skin in this season of your life. Intentional touch, calm pacing, and space to breathe.
Not a fixed protocol applied to every face. A treatment built specifically for yours, on the day.
A clear path
forward
You leave with a personalised home care plan and a clear understanding of what your skin needs next. No pressure, no add ons. Just a plan built around your skin, your lifestyle, and your goals.
You will know exactly where to go from here, and our team remains available if questions come up at home.

We do not believe in services. Only experiences.
Our philosophy is simple. Every client receives the same considered standard whether they are our first appointment of the morning or our last of the day. From junior therapist to management, we share one commitment. To make a real, lasting impression on every person who walks in. Every single time.
Our Story
Escape Skin and Body opened in October 2002 in the heart of Hobart. The original salon was a converted Russian restaurant with four treatment rooms and two therapists. By 2008 the team had grown to nine, and across 2009 and 2010 the space was rebuilt from the ground up. The salon you walk into today opened in October 2010 and has been refined every year since.
The Space
A French Provincial entry, a lavish boutique makeup studio, and a secluded quiet area for facial treatments. Crystal chandeliers throughout, designer wallpaper from London, ghost chairs and furnishings from Italy, and a marble cream floor that grounds it all. Warm creams, browns and bronzes, chosen specifically to create harmony and warmth. An unparalleled level of luxury, considered down to the last detail.
The Team
Behind every treatment is a team of highly motivated, well educated, passionate and professional women whose commitment is to raising the bar of our industry, one client at a time. When you book your First Time Facial, you are not just booking a treatment. You are stepping into a space that has been built around exactly this kind of moment for over two decades.
What our clients have to say
