Kosmetikstudio Basel

Kosmetikstudio Basel plans the half year before your wedding rather than the morning of it, and the plan is written out step by step in English. It is a Salon de Beauté in business since 1974, now in its fourth ownership, at Gerbergasse 24 in the Schmiedenhof, fifth floor, three minutes from Marktplatz. If your skin and lashes are the part of the preparation you want to get right, this is worth the trip to Basel's old town.

Six months out: skin analysis and a lash serum

The first step sits six months before the wedding: a skin analysis, the start of a series of facial treatments, a home-care routine built on Dermalogica, and RevitaLash Advanced lash serum, meant to make lashes visibly longer and fuller over several months without extensions. If the skin needs it, a microneedling or Pro Power Peel course runs in parallel. Schedule the first consultation ideally six months ahead, so appointments fit around the rest of your wedding preparations.

Three months, six weeks, two weeks, one week

At three months the plan turns to monthly facials that consolidate the results, with serums, eye care and well-aging products added to the home routine, and optional BT Nano microcurrent treatments for firmer skin. Six weeks out comes a fine-tuning facial matched to the skin's current condition, the moment for last small impurities or pigmentation concerns, plus the final session of any microneedling or peel series.

Two weeks before, the studio schedules an intensive Premium or Luxury facial with microcurrent and ultrasound, and the brows are shaped and tinted and the lashes tinted. The last week is deliberately quiet: a calming mask, light care, waxing, brow fine-tuning, a manicure recommendation, and a rule of the week that nothing new goes on the skin. A plan that ends with doing less keeps the last week calm.

"My promise: you don't need to buy ten products."

At the first consultation the owner puts together a deliberately short routine of at most four to six products for your skin type, your goals and the wedding date. The recommendations are Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant, BioLumin-C Serum, Circular Hydration Serum, MultiVitamin Power Firm and Invisible Physical Defense SPF30, plus the lash serum. New routines should start two to three months before the wedding at the latest, because skin needs time to get used to active ingredients. A short list you can follow every evening is easier to keep than a bathroom shelf full of new bottles.

Wedding-morning habits come in plain language: wear a button-up blouse so nothing is pulled over finished hair and make-up, eat lightly, keep eye drops handy, and pack an emergency kit with blotting paper, a touch-up lipstick in the artist's shade, mini hairspray, needle and thread, and plasters for new shoes.

The owner and the old-town address

Maity Simon owns the studio. She is a certified cosmetician (EFZ) and an EFZ exam expert, with more than 20 years of professional skin care of her own. Treatments combine classic facials with BT Nano microcurrent, BT Micro ultrasound and microneedling, using Dermalogica, Glo Skin Beauty, SkinIdent, Dr. Baumann, RevitaLash and Lydia Daïnow. Payment by cash, EC card, credit card, TWINT or Bitcoin is accepted. Clients come from Basel, Riehen, Allschwil, Binningen, Münchenstein and Arlesheim. The pages are in German and English, which makes it easy for an international couple to follow the plan.

In November 2026 the studio reports its own ratings as 4.9 on Treatwell from 471 or more reviews and 5.0 on Google.

Pairing it with a stylist for the day itself

The wedding preparation here is skin and lashes rather than styling on the day, so you would pair it with a make-up artist or hairdresser of your choice and let this studio prepare the skin underneath. Other studios' preparation packages show how differently the timing can run. Kosmetikteam Luzern's bridal package (read November 2026) has a facial with a trial six to eight weeks out, a facial and spa manicure two days before, and make-up on the day. Make-up and Beauty times a facial and trial about four weeks ahead and a facial with pedicure about three days before, and adds a groom package. Kosmetikstudio Basel starts earlier than either and puts lash growth into the plan.

A countdown for couples who live near Basel

A countdown built on monthly visits suits couples who live in or near Basel for those months. For a destination couple flying in shortly before the wedding, no shorter option is described, and wedding prices are not published, so it is worth asking at the first consultation what a compressed plan would involve. Booked ahead, the six-month plan gives your skin time to settle into a routine, a good base for whichever make-up artist you choose.
