Advanced Luxury Education for Estheticians
In-person advanced esthetician education in New York for beauty professionals who want to elevate their technique, client experience, communication, pricing, and professional presence.
The Art of Touch was created for estheticians who are ready to move beyond routine facial treatments and step into a higher professional level.
A New Luxury Standard in Esthetics Education
The Art of Touch was designed for estheticians who are ready to move beyond routine treatments and step into a higher professional level.
This advanced esthetician education combines facial technique, luxury client experience, treatment flow, communication, consultation, pricing, positioning, and professional presence.
Because in luxury esthetics, a facial is not only a service.
It is an experience created through intention, rhythm, preparation, confidence, and the way a client is guided from beginning to end.
Luxury is not a product. It is a language.
A language expressed through your touch, your timing, your silence, your transitions, your treatment room, your consultation, and the way you hold the entire experience.
The philosophy of this education is simple: an esthetician should not only know what to do — she should understand how to create value through every detail of the treatment. When the touch is intentional, the flow is smooth, the communication is clear, and the experience feels refined, the client begins to feel a higher standard.
Our goal is to help estheticians build that standard — one that feels professional, memorable, and impossible to replace.A standard that supports client loyalty, higher perceived value, stronger confidence, and long-term professional growth.

“Here, technique is not taught separately from experience.
Because in luxury, the result is not only what the client sees in the mirror.
It is what they feel from the moment they enter the room until the moment they leave.”
— Samira Rashidova, Founder of The Art of Touch

Samira Rashidova is a licensed esthetician based in New York, with a professional path shaped by hands-on experience, luxury spa environments, and a deep respect for the art of touch.
Her work began long before education became the vision. It started in the treatment room — observing how clients respond not only to products, but to presence, rhythm, silence, confidence, and the emotional quality of touch.
Samira’s approach combines advanced facial technique, holistic skin understanding, luxury service standards, and the belief that estheticians need deeper education — not only in what to do, but in how to create an experience that clients remember.

“Love this med spa! I do my facials here for 6 months now, Samira is amazing! I did micro needling with her today for the first time and she was very informative, has hands of gold! I highly recommend this spa, the service and skincare are amazing. I am also bringing my daughter here to treat her skin. Come here you won't regret it!”
“Today I visited Next Level Medical Spa, where I was taken care by Samira, a very sweet and professional Aesthetician, love the place nice, clean and the service was absolutely amazing. I really recommend.”
“Get my monthly facials here with Samira & they’re absolutely amazing. I’ve never had anyone that knew how to properly treat my skin before I came here. Before I came here I went to a lot of different estheticians and no one cared so much to get to know my skin, get to know my wants & do my facial exactly how I like it. I would consider myself a very picky person & next level checks all of my boxes. I’ve been coming here for over a year. I recently renewed my 12 month package, my mom’s 12 month package, and I highly recommend to all my family, friends and colleagues. Come here & you wont regret it!”
“Samira- she is the best!!! Very professional kind and caring person! I love each session more than the last, she has hands of gold. I signed up to the 12 month membership and already completed 7 treatments, I am satisfied every single time! Highly recommended, from scale of 1-10 | give 10+!!! Hollywood is crying for her hands! Thank you so much!”
“Samira was incredible, thorough and educational throughout the process. Had the intro facial which was a full hour long and I cant wait to be back for more! 10/10 recommend!”
“I came in for RF microneedling with Samira. She is excellent and caring. She made sure I was comfortable the whole time and she gave me excellent skincare tips. Also the receptionist is a sweetheart, she made me feel welcome and offered me a cappuccino. I can't wait for my next appointment.”
“Samira was fantastic! She really understood my needs. I will be back next week! Thank you !”
“Lovely experience at Next Level! Samira did an amazing custom acne facial, | really appreciated how she took her time extracting everything possible. Everyone is super friendly and definitely recommend.”
“Went in for a facial left feeling great Samira is extremely professional will definitely recommend!”
“The place was beautifully clean and smelled amazing. The treatment was exquisite and | noticed significant reduction in the lines on my forehead and near my mouth! I’m going back soon!”
“This is what I have long dreamed of: you lie down, and the extra cm (inches) go away. It’s a pity that you can “freeze” fat cells only once a month.”
“This is the best facial & tightening. I've ever experienced!!! Lovely space, state of the art machines, wonderful cruelty free products & efficient warm caring Samira!!! People tell me I look 20 years younger @ 71 and I see it!!! ”
“Thank you Samira for your service. | loved your treatment that you're done for me. Definitely suggest your place for everyone. Nice work, nice person,nice place.”

What makes a luxury facial different from a regular facial?
A luxury facial is not defined by expensive products alone. It is shaped by professional expertise, thoughtful preparation, consistency, and the overall experience. Every detail contributes to how a client feels before, during, and after the treatment.
Why do some estheticians create a more memorable experience?
People remember experiences that feel personal, thoughtful, and consistent. Technical skill is essential, but professionalism, communication, and attention to detail often leave the strongest impression.
Does professional experience matter more than new technology?
Technology continues to improve the profession, but experience helps professionals apply knowledge with judgment, confidence, and care. The strongest results come from combining both.
Can technical skills alone create a luxury experience?
Technical skills are essential, but they are only one part of the experience. Communication, professionalism, preparation, and presence all contribute to creating a truly memorable appointment.
How do professional standards improve client care?
High standards create consistency, safety, and confidence. They help ensure that every decision reflects professionalism rather than convenience.

Is luxury skincare only about premium products?
No. Premium skincare can support excellent results, but luxury is created through professional standards, attention to detail, and the quality of the client experience.
Why is consistency so important in luxury esthetics?
Consistency builds trust. When every appointment reflects the same professional standards, clients know they can rely on the quality of their experience every time they visit.
What defines professional excellence in esthetics?
Professional excellence is built through continuous learning, personal standards, consistency, and respect for every client. It develops over time through experience and thoughtful practice.
Why do clients return to the same esthetician?
