This week we are connecting with Traphena Souder, Licensed Esthetician and owner of Luxurious Glow Esthetics!
Tell us about your business—what you do, what inspired you to start, what makes it unique, and how it impacts your community.
Luxurious Glow Esthetics is a results-driven skincare studio specializing in Korean skincare principles to help clients achieve long-term skin health. My approach goes beyond surface-level beauty—I use my background in social services to provide a space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered in their skincare journey.
I was inspired to start Luxurious Glow Esthetics after seeing how many people struggle with misinformation, ineffective routines, and low confidence due to their skin concerns. With my passion for skincare and my commitment to empathy, compassion, and integrity, I knew I could offer something different—personalized, science-backed treatments combined with education that helps clients take control of their skin.
What makes my business unique is my fusion of Korean skincare philosophies with a holistic, results-oriented approach. I don’t just treat skin; I teach clients how to build sustainable routines, understand ingredients, and embrace a ‘glow’ that comes from true skin health, not just quick fixes.
In my community, I aim to be a trusted resource for skincare education and self-care. Whether it’s through my treatments, social media content, or upcoming skincare Bootcamps, my goal is to help people feel confident beyond the surface. With my new esthetics space, I also plan to collaborate with local businesses, offer in-suite retail, and create a hub where people can access expert skincare guidance tailored to their unique needs.
What products or services do you offer, which one would you like to highlight, and where can people purchase or book?
