A different approach to facials
“Effective skincare doesn’t have to be aggressive. My focus is on long-term skin health, advanced techniques, and treatments that work with the skin—not against it.”
Welcome to Remy Esthetics

Our Story
Remy Esthetics is a results-driven facial studio rooted in both advanced skin science and holistic care. Each treatment is thoughtfully customized with a strong focus on skin barrier health, longevity, and balance – combining proven techniques with a calm, restorative experience.
Founded by a Blanche Macdonald–trained esthetician with deep roots in Korean skincare, Remy Esthetics blends the best of Eastern philosophy and Western science to support healthy, resilient skin—without overcomplicating it. Barrier first. Everything else follows.
Remy Vo | Licensed Esthetician
Founder of Remy Esthetics
My passion for skin and beauty began at a young age, shaped by my mom and the simple habits she instilled early on—daily sunscreen, nourishing the body from within, staying hydrated, and treating skin with patience and care. Those foundations became the starting point of my journey into esthetics.
At 19, I ran my own cosmetic store and created herbal beauty masks. More than ten years later, after working in different fields and spending time traveling and living in various countries, I gained new perspectives not only on esthetics but also on culture and life itself—confirming that skincare was more than an interest, it was my calling. I later earned my Global Esthetics Diploma from Blanche Macdonald – Vancouver, where I immersed myself in advanced skin education and learned to approach skincare from a Western, science-based perspective.
Having grown up familiar with Korean skincare, I believe the best results don’t come from choosing one philosophy over another, but from thoughtfully combining both. At Remy Esthetics, I create treatments that deliver visible results using advanced techniques, while still offering the calm, grounding experience you deserve. Every facial is tailored to the individual, with a focus on skin barrier integrity, long-term health, and balance.
Learning is a lifelong journey for me, and I’m committed to continually expanding my knowledge and refining my techniques in this ever-evolving industry. My goal is to help clients feel cared for, confident, and deeply supported—through intentional skincare that respects the skin and the person behind it.
Isabella Castillo-Empey | Licensed Esthetician
I’m a licensed esthetician with a lifelong passion for skincare.
From a young age, I was fascinated by skin health, spending my free time researching ingredients, treatments, and the science behind healthy skin. Long before I became an esthetician, I was the person my friends turned to for skincare advice, and that passion naturally led me to pursue this career.
I graduated from Canada Beauty School and continue to advance my education through Pure Raum, a Korean clinical skincare academy, because I believe exceptional results come from continuous learning. My approach focuses on treating the skin as a whole, looking beyond the surface to understand the underlying factors that can contribute to acne and other skin concerns.
I’ve always been inspired by Korean skincare and its philosophy of achieving healthy, radiant skin through gentle, results-driven care. My goal is to provide a personalized, elevated experience where every treatment is thoughtfully tailored to your skin, helping you achieve lasting confidence and a healthy, luminous complexion.
