    WORLD OF WELLNESS

    Montrose's hottest mixed-use hub rejuvenates with 3 new wellness concepts

    Hot mixed-use hub Montrose Collective recently unveiled three new wellness concepts adding to their already jam-packed roster of top-notch restaurants and retailers. The walkable development is nestled in the heart of the storied Montrose neighborhood and has been a local favorite since it opened in 2021.

    Skin Laundry, The Studio BE and Sisu Clinic officially opened their doors earlier this month. Sisu Clinic is a doctor-led aesthetic medicine destination offering a comprehensive range of beauty treatments, including Botox, dermal fillers, and more. Founded in 2018 by medical co-founders Dr. James Cotter and Dr. Brian Cotter and serial tech entrepreneur Pat Phelan, Sisu's mission is to empower patients to overcome their physical insecurities and live their best lives. The core tenants of the business are empathy, integrity, innovation, and timelessness. With locations in Miami and New York, the opening of their clinic in Houston is the brand's first foray into the Texas market.

    "We are excited to have these premier wellness tenants call Montrose Collective home," said Barton Kelly, Principal at Radom Collective. "The mission of these two tenants – empowering individuals to be the best they can be and be present – perfectly aligns with the mission of Montrose Collective. Together, we encourage individuality, inclusivity, and community."

    The Studio BE already has a large Houston following at its Heights location and is excited to expand its presence in Montrose. The boutique fitness studio offers yoga and Pilates classes — including mat, aerial, prenatal, and strength-training formats. One of BE's priorities is offering small in-person classes, allowing their highly trained instructors to focus and give personal attention to class participants. Beyond the traditional classes, The Studio BE encourages participation by offering virtual streaming or on-demand classes to all levels of experience and hosts wellness retreats and yoga teacher training throughout the year.

    Skin Laundry, the California-based aesthetics brand, has more than 30 locations spread across the U.S. and chose Montrose Collective for its first Texas outpost. Known for using advanced technology and utilizing medical-grade lasers to rejuvenate skin cells, boost collagen production and improve clarity for transformative results, Skin Laundry customizes their services to each client's personal skincare needs. Skin Laundry offers a membership-based business model, offering three membership tiers for $150-$350 that provide various perks and services.

    “Montrose Collective is now an integral piece to the fabric of the community with highly acclaimed restaurant concepts, unique brands and wellness experts,” noted Kelly. “In Montrose’s ever-evolving landscape, Montrose Collective will continue to stay relevant with the introduction of new tenants and one-of-a-kind events.”

    To celebrate its newest tenants, Montrose Collective is hosting a Day of Wellness on Saturday, March 25, from 10 am to 1 pm. The outdoor event will feature a variety of local, health-focused vendors, a brown bag decorating contest benefiting Kid's Meals, and a mimosa bar at Sisu Clinic. Guests can also register to attend a cardio dance class led by Erin Stewart of Savor + Sweat – all proceeds will be donated to Kid's Meals.

    Skin Laundry is a wonderful addition to the wellness community in the development. Specializing in luxurious facials, this clinic stands out due to its team of registered medical professionals.

    RADIANT RESET

    Houston makeup expert shares 3 easy tips for a softer spring glow

    Soft, radiant skin and natural definition take center stage in spring makeup, with a fresh, polished look that feels effortless but still refined.

    It is time to clean out the makeup bag and swap out warm colors for brighter hues. From runways to editorial looks, this season's makeup is trending toward a looser, more "undone" approach, but in Houston, that doesn't mean unchecked. According to makeup artist Edward Sanchez, this season is all about dialing things back while still looking put together.

    Here are his three smartest ways to update spring makeup looks right now.

    Skin first, everything else second

    For those whose makeup bags still revolve around contour palettes and highlighters, it might be time for a reset. Sanchez says that clients are moving away from sharp angles and leaving sculpting in favor of more natural looks.

    “Spring 2026 is definitely ushering in a softer, more effortless look — but in Houston, ‘effortless’ still means polished,” Sanchez tells CultureMap. “We’re seeing a shift away from the dramatic contour. Instead, the focus is on healthy, radiant skin.”

    Good-looking skin means getting away with doing less everywhere else. Look for foundations with hyaluronic acid, creamy blushes, and anything that hydrates while adding color.

    “It's less about perfection and more about looking fresh, confident, and naturally elevated at any age,” he says.

    Personalize brows

    After years of extremes, from ultra-thin to laminated to the sky, eyebrows are finally getting back into something more natural.

    “Brows really have gone through it,” Sanchez says. “This spring, we’re finally seeing a shift back to softness and individuality.”

    Sanchez's approach to brows is tailored to each client rather than trends. "There is no one-size-fits-all brow anymore, and that's a good thing."

    For anyone still trying to recover from past over-plucking decisions, patience is part of the process, but strategy matters, too. Regrowth often comes in patchy, uneven or unruly, which can make the in-between phase frustrating.

    "The goal isn't perfection, it's enhancing what you naturally have and letting your brows grow into their best version," he says. Subtle shaping, light tinting, and treatments that support the hair instead of forcing it into submission are the way to get great brows for the long term.

    Rethink eyeliner

    Bold eyes are beginning to come back in style, but that doesn't mean a full beat before morning coffee. "For everyday wear, I always come back to eyeliner. It is the foundation of a polished eye," says Sanchez.

    According to the makeup artist, the trick is restraint. Instead of dramatic wings or heavy pigment, he suggests pressing softer tones close to the lash line and diffusing them slightly for a lived-in look.

    "One of my favorite pro tips is to use mascara as eyeliner. Press the mascara right into the lashline for a rich, natural definition." It is subtle, it lasts, and it looks as good in photos as it does in the daylight.
