Intentional, curated and entirely bespoke, that is Studio Julie Lemke.

In a city overflowing with facial studios, it takes something truly distinctive to stand out. Julie Lemke along with her co-founders Rebecka and Lea, made sure Studio Julie Lemke does exactly that. Filling a clear gap in the market for a space that feels more like a home than a clinic, and for treatments that are genuinely tailored rather than one-size-fits-all. It’s this thoughtful, personalised approach that has quickly put the studio on the map.

From the moment you step inside, the experience feels considered in every sense. Guests are welcomed with hydrating coconut water, a small but telling detail, before settling into a lobby that feels like a modern 1970s Scandinavian haven. Soft lines and warm textures set the mood before heading upstairs to treatment rooms that feel cloud-like in both comfort and atmosphere.

At the centre of it all is Julie Lemke, whose approach to skin is rooted in clean formulations, long-term results and total customisation. Rathering than chasing instant results, Julie prioritises skin longevity and health, working with pHformula products born in Denmark and produced in Spain, each product carefully selected with intention and the skin barrier in mind.

Alongside Julie is a close-knit female team of experts, each contributing their own strengths to the experience. From Sara’s specialised lymphatic drainage massages and Nargis’ sculptural face-lifting technique to Dee’s fascia sculpting and Milly’s deep expertise in skin health, every treatment reflects a holistic, results-driven philosophy.

More than just a facial destination, the studio is a reflection of Julie herself: thoughtful, precise and deeply personal. Below, she shares her journey, aspirations and the story behind the making of Studio Julie Lemke.

My current role is…

Co-founder and aesthetician at Studio Julie Lemke, a destination for all things skin.

When I was younger, I wanted to be…

An aesthetician. I’ve wanted this since I was seven years old, and I even have it written in a book from primary school.

My favourite subject at school was…

Biology, because I loved understanding how the human body works.

My first job was…

Working in customer service at a telephone company.

My career path so far has been…

A pretty wild ride, but I wouldn’t want it any other way.

The story of Studio Julie Lemke is…

Born from a deep passion for skin and a desire to redefine how skincare is perceived. The idea was to create a space where clients feel completely safe and understood, a place where we truly know skin, have seen it all, and know how to support, guide, and “fix” skin in the most thoughtful, educated way.

My daily routine consists of…

A day for me begins with early mornings, coffee, and LED masks. I love early mornings (though they’re often paired with late-night studies – it’s all about balance!).

Then I hit the studio. I always prepare myself mentally before preparing anyone else, usually supported by my favourite tracks in the car on the way to work. The day quickly shifts into a busy, client-heavy schedule, with facials often booked back-to-back.

Evenings are intentionally simple, always centred around home-cooked, nutrient-dense food. I typically do my skincare as soon as I get home, so it’s all set.

I love quiet evenings where I can be creative, study, and continue educating myself.

My role as co-founder entails…

Shaping a clear skin philosophy that helps people achieve their best skin, while creating a studio atmosphere that feels warm, inviting, and like coming home.

⁠The biggest hurdle I have experienced in my career…

Realising the gap between textbook knowledge and real skin. I also discovered that results aren’t just about the ingredients themselves, but how they’re delivered into the skin.

⁠The biggest milestone I have achieved is…

Launching Studio Julie Lemke.

⁠A quote I live by is…

Slow and steady wins the race.

The biggest lesson I’ve learned as a co-founder…

That having people around you to bounce ideas with is invaluable. Building something on your own can feel overwhelming, but the right people offer perspective, clarity, and support when you need it most.

What I hope for 2026 is…

I hope for steadiness.

I hope my all my days will feel intentional and filled with love.

I want clear systems.

Aligned collaborations.

I hope for depth over expansion.

Fewer things done better.

And most of all, I hope that when I look back at 2026, it will be the most magical year of my life.
