Janine Chang
Skin Therapist
Janine makes you feel like an old friend the moment you settle in. Warm and easygoing, she wants you comfortable at Bella Trio Studio at American Tobacco Campus in Downtown Durham, whether that means grabbing a LaCroix, catching her up on your week, or simply relaxing while she takes care of your skin.
She specializes in facials, peels, microdermabrasion, lash and brow services, and microneedling. Lash lifts are one of her favorites, the ultimate instant-gratification service for feeling polished with almost no effort, and she loves microneedling for the real, visible results it delivers with minimal downtime. She takes time to learn about your lifestyle and your concerns, then tailors everything from there, and she is always happy to tell you whether that viral product is actually worth your time.
Here is how she frames her work: seeing your esthetician is a lot like seeing a physical therapist. She is your coach and your cheerleader, but the real transformation happens with consistency at home. One facial will not erase a wrinkle, but she will point you to exactly what helps. Her baseline for healthy skin is simple and sustainable: cleanse, tone, a vitamin C serum like SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic, moisturizer, and SPF.
Outside the studio, Janine practices pointed-pen calligraphy with the Triangle Calligraphers Guild, cooks healthy meals before exploring Durham's food scene on weekends, and spends quality time with her 10-year-old Pomeranian.
