In the heart of Downtown Franklin, Essential Aesthetics is offering a blend of high-end skin care treatments to leave clients feeling rejuvenated and confident.
Founded by Terri Lundy, a licensed aesthetician with 17 years of experience, this intimate and professional spa delivers results-driven skin care with a focus on individualized care. Alongside her partners, Robin Eads and Sofia Bohler, Lundy is excited to begin serving the Franklin community from a new space, located at 197 East Jefferson Street, Suite C.
Lundy’s journey into the world of aesthetics began at a luxury spa, where she honed her skills. But after several years she transitioned into medical aesthetics, working alongside plastic surgeons at Franciscan and receiving additional training in dermatology. With a passion for helping clients look and feel their best, Lundy set out to create a space where both medical-grade treatments and luxurious spa experiences could coexist. In 2020 she opened the doors of Essential Aesthetics, LLC in Franklin.
“I really love working and living in the same community,” she says. “Franklin is a warm, welcoming community. It is fun to watch the town grow and yet keep the small, college-town feel. It’s exciting to see small-business owners supporting one another.”
Essential Aesthetics has grown significantly since its opening through word of mouth spread by happy clients. With the growth, Lundy was joined by Eads, a board-certified clinical nurse specialist, advanced practice nurse, and owner of Essential Wellness and Body. She graduated from Indiana University School of Nursing with three degrees. In addition to being laser certified, Eads practices lifestyle management and health coaching, which enables people to improve their health. Behavior modification interventions, targeting areas like physical activity, stress and nutrition, are utilized to help improve wellness and weight management, and reduce health risks, while promoting healthy behaviors.
Eads, founder of Essential Wellness and Body, offers a range of Cutera laser treatments, including vein therapy, hair removal, intense pulsed light, and laser genesis. She also focuses on overall wellness, including non-medicinal health, and future programs like “Walk and Talk With the Doc”, offering clients the chance to discuss wellness topics while enjoying a stroll around town.
The practice recently expanded once again with the addition of Bohler, a licensed aesthetician known for luxury skin care services. Bohler brings a fresh perspective to the team, offering clients everything from custom facials to body treatments, LED red and blue light therapy (including a foot treatments), and waxing. She is a perfect fit for those looking to unwind and indulge in a relaxing experience while still addressing their skin’s unique needs.
As a team, Essential Aesthetics specializes in result-driven skin care, tailoring each service to clients’ specific needs. Whether it’s microneedling, laser treatments, chemical peels, dermaplaning, or facials targeting rosacea, acne and anti-aging, approaches are customized to ensure the best results possible.
“We all call ourselves Essential because each of us brings something unique to the table,” says Lundy. “Together we provide clients with the best of both worlds – luxury skin care with medical-grade treatments that give them results.”
For those seeking cutting-edge skin care treatments, Essential Aesthetics is also excited to announce new retail hours on Franklin’s First Fridays from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. During these hours, clients can explore top-tier skin care products from brands like ZO, Hale & Hush, and OSEA, while receiving personalized advice from an experienced esthetician to help them choose the best products for their skin. The upcoming grand reopening event on February 7 will feature giveaways, wine and special discounts.
New clients can expect a warm welcome upon entering Essential Aesthetics, as each treatment begins with a thorough consultation to discuss their individual skin care needs. From there, they’ll experience professional, personalized care designed to leave them feeling refreshed and glowing.
With its exceptional staff, personalized services and deep commitment to the community, Essential Aesthetics has firmly established itself as a top destination for skin care in Franklin. Whether you’re looking for luxurious relaxation or transformative treatments, Essential Aesthetics has something special just for you.
