This is Our Love Language 

Touch is my literal love language. I had to reclaim it through the process of overcoming violence in my life. This sparked a curiosity on the healing benefits of touch, and studies have shown them to be profound.

Touch taps into the vagus nerve and sympathetic nervous system, relaxing the body and boosting the immune system, allowing it to enter a state of self-healing.

Beyond physical healing, touch taps into the parts of our brain responsible for empathy, and releases chemicals that promote healing in our body, mind, and emotions.

Through our services and Our community, we provide a space of connection to New York City.

Meet your Esthetician and Founder of Decadence Kristen Polanco

"I am a visual artist by nature, so Skin Care and Beauty were a very natural choice.

I am happiest using my hands.

Creating an experience for people is now my evolving form of expression."

Decadence is an extension of my personal journey and lifestyle. Finding something I loved came naturally after learning to love myself and embracing my journey. There came a point where I had to fight for my peace and learn how to ground in my own energy. Now creating a place of peace is the overflow of that process.

As Decadence grows it will be a place where beauty and wellness are integrated to provide experiences that are unmatched.
