The Skin Lab Beauty Bar: The new face of modern Jamaican skincare

In a fast-evolving beauty landscape, where self-care is steadily becoming a priority rather than a luxury, one Jamaican entrepreneur is carving out her own space with precision, passion, and purpose.

The Skin Lab Beauty Bar, located at Shop #13, 20 Storke Street (inside Kimmy Cute Nail Salon) in May Pen, Clarendon, and offering mobile services in Kingston, was founded in 2025 by Kyra Mills.

The business has quickly emerged as one of Jamaica’s newest and most promising skincare destinations, offering a blend of expertise, innovation, and genuine care that clients say they can feel the moment they walk through the door.

The business is the brainchild of a seasoned entrepreneur who has spent over 10 years building and mastering her craft across multiple industries.

Long before The Skin Lab Beauty Bar opened its doors, Mills began her entrepreneurial journey in high school, where she launched a thriving crochet business. That early spark of creativity and independence laid the foundation for a career defined by reinvention, hands-on learning, and a deep understanding of what customers truly value.

FROM MAKEUP BRUSHES TO SKIN SCIENCE

The inspiration for The Skin Lab Beauty Bar grew from years of working in makeup artistry and lash services. What started as a way to make clients feel confident for special occasions soon became a doorway into something much bigger.

“I realised that beauty isn’t just about lashes or makeup, it begins with the skin itself,” Mills explained.

“People want long-lasting results, healthier skin, and a place they can trust.”

That realisation pushed her to expand beyond cosmetic services into the broader world of skincare and beauty science. Today, The Skin Lab Beauty Bar proudly offers a suite of services focused on nurturing, repairing, and enhancing the skin, while maintaining the warmth and personal touch her brand has always been known for.

A VISION ROOTED IN GROWTH AND COMMUNITY

As a business owner with more than a decade of experience, Mills didn’t build The Skin Lab Beauty Bar from enthusiasm alone, she built it on strategy, community, and resilience.

Over the years, she launched two official businesses and now serves as the co-owner of a non-profit organisation dedicated to empowering and uplifting others.

This commitment to giving back is deeply tied to her approach to entrepreneurship. Clients often describe Mills as someone who listens, educates, and genuinely cares about their long-term skin goals.

“Every face tells a story,” she said. “My job is to help people feel comfortable in theirs.”

A BEAUTY BAR DESIGNED FOR EVERY SKIN JOURNEY

The Skin Lab Beauty Bar was built with one mission: to offer professional skincare services accessible to everyone regardless of age, skin type, or personal concerns.

From rejuvenating facials to targeted treatments, clients can expect a tailored experience guided by trained hands and high-quality products. And while the brand continues to grow, its foundation remains the same: delivering results that clients can see, feel, and trust.

THE FUTURE: INNOVATION, EXPANSION, AND IMPACT

Although The Skin Lab Beauty Bar is still in its early years, the founder’s vision is already reaching beyond the walls of the spa. Her long-term plan includes opening multiple locations, expanding into skincare products, and offering training opportunities for upcoming beauty professionals.

But for now, Mills remains grounded in what matters most: creating a safe, welcoming space where people can fall in love with their skin again.

“Skin care is personal,” she reflected. “It’s not just a service. It’s trust. And I’m honoured every time someone allows me to be part of their journey.”

WHERE BEAUTY MEETS PURPOSE

With its warm approach, expert techniques, and strong foundation of entrepreneurship, The Skin Lab Beauty Bar stands as a shining example of Jamaica’s growing beauty industry where passion meets precision, and where skin health is celebrated at every stage.

As the brand continues to grow, one thing remains clear: The Skin Lab Beauty Bar isn’t just here to enhance beauty.

It’s here to redefine it.
