“First of all, I am so glad that I found Summer and the services she offers, as both seem to be difficult to find outside of Vancouver proper. Summer really offers something exceptional for those seeking NATURAL (but with a certain degree of solid scientific backing), personalized, non-judgemental, and budget-friendly beauty service:

* Summer took the time to assess my existing beauty regimen down to the dot and research the products I’ve been using when she was not familiar with them;
* She was completely honest in the pro’s and con’s of the products I used and was candidly informed me that my skin was simply not ready for any service such as facial, extraction, or peel. I appreciate this because any conventional aesthetician I’ve encountered in the past would have tried to sell me one of these procedures, but Summer outlined a plan and explained the rationale;
* She is super down-to-earth and willing to work with your personal needs and budget, and does not pressure you into buying anything. When I shamefully admitted that I didn’t think I would be able to maintain a certain step in the long run, she worked with me in tweaking/adjusting the regimen so that the routine would be realistic and achievable for me.

PS: At a time when everyone is doing eyelash extensions and I’ve just recently had a bad experience where I felt like the technician, even though licensed, was pulling off my lashes (more than just a tug), I can’t wait to give the Yumi lash tint and lift a try. Again, so thrilled that Summer is offering this service in the Tri-cities area! Her woman-cave is a must-attend!”

“I had a great first experience at Labelle Atelier. I got a Yumi Lash Lift and am seriously blown away with the results. I’ll be back for sure! ”

“Summer is very professional and knowledgable! I have loved every experience I have had with her. She keeps my skin looking fresh and healthy. Highly recommend!”

“She’s disciplined, knowledgeable, and serious about skin....Yours :-)”

“Summer has a depth of knowledge that very few skin care specialists have. She is truly dedicated to continuous learning and the honing of her craft and she is passionate about what she does. From the minute you step in the door, you feel super relaxed and cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend anyone to Labelle Atelier - first rate everything every single time.”

“Oh Summer! She has been a face saver for me. Since seeing her my face is doing a turnabout.. and I mean a real turnabout. My skin was dull and dry and just not doing well until I met her. Now my skin is glowing, people come up to me and tell me that my face is glowing. That’s definitely never happened before. I love that she’s all about the holistics and she really stands by her products. She’s lovely to chat with and she knows her stuff. I would highly recommend her over and over again and that says a lot.”

“Summer is amazingly gifted at what she does. She is a true professional, highly trained, and I trust her implicitly. Her services are impeccable, her studio is peaceful, and she’s got a great sense of humour!”

“Summer has a great way of making you feel comfortable and one quickly understands her capabilities and impressive knowledge of the industry she is in. A great find in the tricity area!”

“Love the Yumi lash lift... Summer was right, no skin reaction, very natural and they look great. This was my first visit with Summer and likely won’t be my last. Her salon was lovely and very private.”

“Had such a get experience with Summer yesterday, she is so professional and knows her stuff! She listened to what I wanted and recommended some wonderful products to get me where I need to be. There was no pressure to buy any of the products, like the other places I have been to . Can’t wait to go back for another treatment! ”

“Summer is a true skin pro! I trust her implicitly with my skin and always come away feeling great. She’s gentle, non-judgemental, and super sweet! Follow the path through the side of the house to the back and her studio is a separate little haven. I always book a “tell me what I need facial” and Summer never disappoints! The Yumi lashes are also amazing, and don’t damage your lashes like extensions do. I find the online booking very convenient, and the products that Summer carries are also part of my daily routine. My only regret is that I can’t go more often!”

“What an amazing experience, from beginning to end. The moment I stepped foot into Summer’s establishment I felt at ease and relaxed. She makes you feel calm and ready for treatment. Best service by far!
”

“Summer is amazing!! Down to earth, reassuring, practical and caring skin care advice. Her studio is cozy and lovely too. Amazing results with the eyelashes and facial :)”

“I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Summer. She takes the time to do an excellent job every step of the way and her experience and knowledge are completely evident. I love the atmosphere she has created in her work space and the fact that she uses lines that are clean and effective. Can’t wait to go back. :)”

“I started to see Summer to help with my very hormonal skin (breakouts on my chin) and was impressed right away! She took the time to chat about my current skin care regime as well as my concerns. I love booking in the Gimme What I Need facial, because at the end of the day, she knows what is best at that point for your skin and also considers other circumstances as well. We chatted about a plan and my skin has cleared up and regulated quickly with the use of recommended products (she is NOT PUSHY AT ALL!!!). I have also have my eyebrows done a few times - they were perfect!
If you really want to find someone who is passionate not only about skin, but WHAT you put on it, Summer is super knowledgeable and is always on the pulse of what is out there.”

“Summer is the BEST! My skin has never been better. Almost don’t want to post this because I don’t want her to get too busy that I can’t get in dermaplane, microneedling and brow shape and tint are my 3 main treatments, and nobody is as good as Summer.”

“I went to see Summer for an inital consult followed by a session of dermaplaning. She did an excellent job and I am thrilled with the results. She offers quality products and an array of services, in a beautiful location, at a reasonable cost. 10/10! Thanks Summer!!”

“Summer is amazing! My eyelashes and eyebrows have never looked so good. I would highly recommend this place, her prices and packages were such a good deal. Her location is super cute, and comfortable. I am beyond happy I found this place and summer!”

“Summer is a warm and engaging person who is an expert at what she does. She is honest and straightforward and has the most beautiful skin which speaks volume about her experience and knowledge. I had the Yumi Lash lift done and I love the results. I will be returning for skin care soon.”

“Summer is not only one of the most genuine, authentic business women I know, but truly an expert that wants to ensure she is giving the best value, and customized treatment possible. Her ultimate goal is always setting you up for long-term success with your skin. She takes the time to educate you on your current skin regimen, recommended treatments, and will answer your questions and give you the most honest advice possible. She recommends products that you should ( and maybe shouldn’t) have in your regular skin routine to help you attain your long-term skin goals, but with no pressure. The products I have been purchased over the two times I have met with Summer have by far been the two best purchases EVER for my skin, with immediate results. I absolutely recommend summer – my skin has never looked or felt better the very next day after visiting her.”

“Had the Yumi Lashes treatment along with an eyebrow shape and tint. I am thoroughly impressed with the results of the treatments. Eyebrows look great and natural and the Yumi lash treatment did wonders for my lashes even if they’re extremely fine! Summer is definitely knows what she’s doing and is just the nicest! I would definitely go back for more treatments.”

“I am so happy to have found Labelle Atelier and Summer! I’m in my mid-thirties and, short of any kind of injection, over the years have happily tried out various skin treatments with top spas and dermatologists in the lower mainland, including microdermabrasion, various types and intensities of peels, and lasers (IPL, Fraxel, low level, etc). My results and the costs have varied, but I’d never found something that made me think it was 100% worth all the money I paid…until now.

Want to walk into a room and have people gush about how great your skin looks? To have them look at you when you aren’t wearing any make up and say (and I quote) “Oh my god, your skin is amazing! It’s like looking at you through an Instagram filter!”? After just four Glow-Getter (micro-needling/Dermapen3) facials with Summer, and following her tweaks and coaching to my home skin care routine, my skin has never been better. It not only looks phenomenal, it feels healthy and great. Micro-needling, from someone as skilled as Summer, is hands down the best thing I have ever done for my skin - and the best bang for my buck. I’m a convert, and not shy about confessing to having the treatment done!

PS – Summer is also MAGIC with keeping my (tending to bushy) brows at just the right tint in a full, beautifully clean shape. She’s an artist. Plus, if you haven’t yet had a Yumi Lash Lift, the results from Summer’s are also MAGICAL.”

“Summer was really knowledgeable and informative. She takes the time to listen, and comes forth with a very honest approach. She does not put you in the position where you feel as though you must purchase a slew of products from her or schedule a variety of nonsensical procedures. She is truthful and very straightforward with her suggestions and I really appreciate that. Well worth the visit.”

“Summer has an exceptional knowledge for advanced skin care. I’ve had 2 advanced facial treatments from her and she has made me feel at ease and very comfortable. I even had a treatment called Dermaplaning for the first time right before my recent wedding and my skin was amazing, make-up looked flawless for the wedding day! I highly recommend her and can’t wait to have some more treatments ”

“Let me start off by saying that Summer is amazing at what she does! I will never trust anyone else with my skin and I recommend her to EVERYONE with all different skin types. Not only is she so knowledgable about skin care but she also takes the time out to really learn about your skin, the issues you are having with it and what you want to get out of your appointment with her (FYI skin consultations are FREE)! She asked me to bring in the skincare products I was using at home so she could get a better understanding of my skin and what I should and shouldn’t be using on it that may be contributing to my issues. I had a lot of congestion in my skin a long with dryness..nothing I did would help. I spent a few years trying to treat my skin with different products and going to various spas. As soon as I met with Summer she got to the root of my skin issues and my skin definitely benefited from my sessions with her. She also helped me develop a new skincare routine..with new products that I love. She also does not pressure you into buying anything if your not looking for any new products (although many of the products she introduced me to have really helped my skin! Love skin addix! I’m addicted!)
Overall, Summer is so knowledgable, so sweet and truly does care about her clients. You will not leave unhappy.
I cannot wait until my next session with her!!!!”

“La Belle Atelier is the cutest studio I have ever been to! Very professional, clean and comfortable!
Summer is absolutely incredible! A skin genius! Within 10 minutes of meeting her I trusted her with my skin and basically my life. She explains everything very thoroughly and in depth. She gives out the best skin prescriptions (will even teach you how to properly wash your face) to suit your needs. I have been to a few dermatologists/skin specialists over the years, and I have never felt like I actually mattered as much as I did at La Belle Atelier. They want your skin to be as beautiful just as much as you do!
I already cannot wait for my next appointment!!!!
Thank you so much you are simply amazing!”

“After stumbling on Summer’s blog post titled Top 3 Worst (non) Skincare Products, I found myself wondering if the products I was currently using were in fact benefitting my skin. Even though I do not live in Vancouver, I sent Summer a plead to help me with my skin problems. I was able to have my complimentary consultation via FaceTime and photos, that way Summer had the information to get started on my own customized skin routine. It has only been about a month but I am so absolutely pleased with the results and could not be more relieved that my skin is in the hands of someone who really knows what she’s doing. She’s my skin angel.”

“I went for a consultation with Summer from La Belle Atelier Skincare and she was not only really sweet and friendly she was very thorough in her consultation and I have enjoyed the services and products she recommended. Way better than going to a spa, it’s comfy and no-fuss and Summer is awesome at skincare.

Check it out!”

“Summer is amazing! Every time I’m in I’m blown away by her knowledge. Her treatments are amazing and I can already see a difference after just a couple of weeks. It is such a good feeling to be able to trust that my skin is in good hands. I will definitely be back time and time again.”

“For the majority of my life my skin had been fairly clear. I always had hormonal breakouts, but nothing serious.
December 2014, I started to notice differences in the texture of my skin. My skin was breaking out all the time. At first, I thought it would take care of itself, I thought it must just be stress. After months of dealing with it and trying EVERY product out there guaranteed to give you “clear skin” I felt completely defeated and as a last resort decided to try seeing an expert.
I started seeing Summer in May 2015. She had several suggestions as to how we might be able to deal with my skin. Summer was so knowledgeable and kind. I felt comfortable with her immediately. After trying a million things that didn’t work, Summer suggested a new at home routine for me and began doing peels on my skin. After seeing Summer for a few session I started to see major differences in the texture of my skin. My skin has improved so much to the point that I receive compliments from people at the gym (when I’m wearing no makeup) asking me what I’ve doing. I can’t wait to continue seeing results. Summer is truly a life saver!

I highly recommend booking in for a treatment.”

“I have been to La Belle Atelier Skincare a couple of times. Once for the complimentary skin consultation and once for a derma planing facial. Summer’s extensive knowledge and expertise impressed me. In our first appointment, she made me understand why my skin was the way it was and what products and treatments would benefit me. She did not ‘push’ her products and was able to develop a daily routine that fit my skin-type and and worked for my budget. The derma planing facial was amazing and I love that she tailored the enzyme mask to my skin. To make things even better I saw instant results! I highly recommend La Belle Atelier and will be back soon!”

“Thank you so much, Summer, for the amazing treatments! Every time I come in I’m amazed by the wealth of knowledge you have. I love that you explain everything you’re doing so well and that I never feel like I’m being sold anything. It is so nice to be able to trust that my skin is in such good hands! You’re amazing at what you do. Can’t wait for my next visit.”

“I have been to La Belle Atelier a couple of times and have been blown away by Summer’s extensive knowledge and expertise. She has given me a better understanding of my skin and I feel confident in it daily. I highly recommend her and will definitely be back!”

“Thanks Summer my face felt amazing after my customized peel!!!”

“Couldn’t be more impressed with Summer’s extensive knowledge and gentle technique. She far exceeded my expectations for a facial and my skin is still glowing 2 days after the treatment ”

“I am 3 days post-treatment & still in AWE of the amazing experience at La Belle Atelier Skincare. I can NOT to come back in! Do yourself a favor & go see Summer!!!”

“I’ve been a long time client of Summer’s and have followed her to wherever she is practicing out of for several years now.

I started seeing Summer in 2012 when she was working out of another location and at the time my skin was super bi-polar: oily/dehydrated/breakouts/dry patches just a MESS. My cousin referred me to Summer as she had fixed HER skin as well. Right off the bat she got me off of some of the crappy products I was using that were messing with my skin and suggested I start with bi-weekly sessions with her to set my skin straight. At first I thought that the twice a month facials would be a waste of $$ but they actually resulted in my skin doing a 180. Since then, I’ve followed her prescriptions for what to use at home which has made my skin something to brag about and I get compliments literally almost daily. Far cry from where I began.

While her current location isn’t exactly ideal (shared space, not always quiet) her service, knowledge and attention to detail remain top-knotch. I know that whenever I see her she will give my skin exactly what it needs and she never, ever tries to “sell” me on anything. She definitely knows her stuff and with me, she really takes the time to teach me so that I can make informed decisions when it comes to my skin. I’m super grateful to have found her and I know my skin is always in the best hands.”

“Summer for made my skin glow like I never thought it could! I was so impressed with her extensive knowledge and skilled technique; I would highly recommend La Belle Atelier to anyone and look forward to going back very soon.”
