Hey, I’m Briyana — better known as Bri the Esthi — licensed esthetician, skincare educator, and your go-to glow dealer right here in Capitol Hill.

My skincare journey started in my own bathroom mirror. After stepping away from Proactiv during undergrad at Howard University, I found myself experimenting with every OTC product I could get my hands on to treat my acne and hyperpigmentation. What started as curiosity quickly turned into passion — and eventually, a calling.

I realized that makeup could only do so much. If your skin wasn’t supported underneath, the whole look suffered. As I dove into routines and ingredients, I began to transform not just my skin, but my confidence. That’s when I knew I wanted to help others feel that same shift.

Since becoming a licensed esthetician in 2018, I’ve had the honor of learning under master estheticians with 20+ years of experience and holding licenses in DC, Maryland, and Virginia. Today, I specialize in dermaplane facials, Brazilians with vajacials, and custom brow sculpting — but my true superpower is creating a safe, inclusive, results-driven space for every client who walks through my door.

At BTE Luxe, you’ll experience personalized skincare, expert waxing, and genuine care — not just for your skin, but for your spirit.

Whether you’re a first-time waxer, navigating hormonal breakouts, or just ready to upgrade your self-care routine, I’m here to guide you.

With knowledge, compassion, and a little bit of edge, let’s get you glowing 💫
