Situated in the heart of Miami's famed Coral Gables neighborhood, Alexis Lauren Collective is a medically-backed beauty destination, driven by the desire to redefine luxury skincare within an etherial setting.

Founded by power couple Dr. Michael and Alexis Renda, Alexis Lauren Collective brings high-end skincare into the modern age, offering a wide array of cutting-edge treatments that are specifically tailored to each client, ensuring every experience is one of a kind. From custom facials, to nuanced injectables, and restorative procedures, every detail is tailor-made to not only maximize the client's experience, but also ensure that every client's results are truly transformative.

Mirroring their fine-tuned and luxe approach to skincare, Alexis Lauren Collective's atmosphere is equally as curated and luxurious. Calling upon the talents of Gigi Alvarez, Founder & CEO of G. Alvarez Studio, Inc., the team swiftly conceptualized a welcoming space, inspired by the calming nature of a warm embrace mixed with the sensuality and uniqueness of a woman's curves.

This approach, following Alexis Lauren Collective's "let's slow things down" mentality, also harkens back to ensuring that their clientele are treated with the utmost care, ensuring they are enveloped in a warm yet sublime oasis to promote relaxation, restoration, and healing.

“My husband Michael and I came together to fill a void we saw in the skincare space: an ultra-luxe beauty collective that cares as much about its members as it does results,” said Alexis Renda, co-founder of Alexis Lauren Collective. “Our service menu is tailored to serve the client, not overwhelm them.”

Beginning with a neutral palette of warm whites, natural neutrals, and brilliant beiges, the space immediately invokes a spiritual sense, while the mix of plush and solid textures feel pleasantly thoughtful. Upon entry, expansive floor to ceiling arched windows flood the area with natural sunshine while transparent drapery diffuses the light beautifully. Sculptural seating, geometric tables, and hand-made pieces ground the reception area and offer the opportunity to peruse the curated collection of beauty products prominently displayed throughout the space.

Each and every piece of decor was hand selected by Mrs. Renda, who also took to sourcing pieces from local artisans and businesses to generate a unique aesthetic that still meshed with the spa's home city of Miami. Hand-picked jewelry bowls, custom hanging mirrors, leather beverage coasters, and even the medical trays used in treatment rooms were intricately selected to cohesively add to the overall soul of Alexis Lauren Collective. In the waiting room, polished Italia Navona travertine cubes that serve as intriguing tables were sourced from Casa de Barcelona, a vintage curator and restoration expert located in the Little River neighborhood of Miami.

Without a hard edge to be found, sensuously curved plaster walls and custom arched doorways meander into what feels like a secret luxurious lair, and houses the numerous private treatment rooms, each feeling like their own unique world. Accentuated by intricate cove lighting throughout, the attention to detail of the space and the exquisite flow can truly be appreciated.

To add depth, soul, and the finishing touch, florals by Ana Carerra were all methodically chosen, straying from the tropical plantings that dominate South Florida, ultimately opting for arrangements that showcase a muted green palette and eucalyptus branches in every treatment room, to further call upon a sense of calming and relaxation.
