CHRISTINE CHIN
Christine Chin is considered the guru of complexion perfection. Born in Malaysia and half raised in Hong Kong, Christine realized her passion for beauty at an early age. As a teenager she attended beauty school, where she honed her craft as a makeup artist and esthetician and became champion of makeup artist in Malaysia. She would later discover that the secret to her success was rooted in a combination of training in the art and science of Asian skincare and sheer talent.
Her immense success led Christine to the United States, where she became a licensed esthetician in New York State and built a strong clientele at a SoHo salon. Christine slowly abandoned makeup artistry for facials and brow grooming. For her, boosting a client's self esteem by clearing up their complexion was extremely gratifying. Regardless of the skin care concerns of the patient, Christine was able to transform their troubled skin after just one facial.
After 11 successful years in New York as an esthetician, Christine fulfilled her entrepreneurial dream and opened the Christine Chin spa on the Lower East Side of Manhattan in the spring of 2002. Devoted clients such as supermodels Gisele Bundchen, Carmen Kass, Erin Wasson, Kimora Lee Simmons and Karolina Kurkova, actresses/actor Hilary Swank, and Rachel Weisz, James Franco, and a slew of fashion and beauty industry insiders spread the word and soon the spa became a beauty haven. The Christine Chin spa offers facials (featuring custom-blended peels and masks), microdermabrasion, waxing, brow grooming, and laser treatments. In the spring of 2005 Christine also launched a complete line of skincare products, as a call to action for clients who longed for her expertise between visits.
Dubbed "Mean Christine" by diehard fans for her thorough work and attention to detail, Christine's name has become synonymous with complexion perfection. Thanks to her skincare expertise and the amazing support of her clientele, Christine's appointment book is filled months in advance with the city's leading trendsetters. Between visits she strongly advises clients to never pick, poke or pop, to cleanse and tone daily, and to moisturize. Regular facials are a must, but Christine also offers expert advice on specific treatments following an analysis of the skin. Dedicated to education, Christine walks each client through the steps of their treatment, offering tips, recommendations and indispensable beauty secrets.
