Founders: Shami Habib and Mona Fakhoury Chilmon

What Was The Brief?

Skinflection was envisioned as a space where modern skincare and holistic wellness converge—an environment that would inspire confidence, calm, and connection for both clients and staff. Founders Shami Habib and Mona Fakhoury Chilmon came to us with a clear purpose: to create a brand-centric interior that reflects their passion for beauty, their dedication to excellence, and their commitment to nurturing others through their work.

What Space Were We Working With?

Nestled along the vibrant North Lincoln Avenue corridor in Lincolnwood, IL, the existing 2,824-square-foot suite offered incredible visibility and a strong structural foundation. With high ceilings and a fluid layout, the space provided a beautiful canvas for transformation. Our task was to reimagine it as a refined sanctuary—balancing luxury with comfort, sophistication with warmth, and brand identity with everyday function.

Our Design Ideas

From our first meeting, it was clear that Shami and Mona were creating more than a med spa—they were building an experience grounded in authenticity, care, and intention. Their passion and clarity of purpose set the tone for our design journey.

We began by translating their brand’s core values into the physical environment. The concept centered on soft, modern forms and refined architectural rhythm—a foundation of fluid lines, sculptural lighting, and layered materials that evoke serenity and confidence. The color palette blends fresh neutrals with subtle warmth, creating an atmosphere that feels both luxurious and approachable.

Every element was chosen to create harmony and resonance. The statement marble reception desk establishes a sense of arrival and sophistication, while the lit retail arches add a gentle radiance that guides the eye through the space. A favorite feature—the affirmation signage in the reception area—became a quiet yet powerful reflection of the founders’ purpose, embodying the spirit of self-confidence and renewal at the heart of the Skinflection brand.

The result is a timeless environment that feels elevated yet deeply human—a space where modern design and meaningful intention meet in perfect balance.

What The Client Had To Say

Professional designers don’t just make things look good. They design with your brand, target an audience, and have goals in mind. Custom branding and visuals set you apart from competitors and create a cohesive identity. After viewing Michele’s social media for months, we knew she was exactly what we were looking for.

Seeing the spa completed for the first time was a mix of emotions—excitement, satisfaction, tears of happiness, and even a little surprise. It was like watching our vision come to life, where every detail finally clicks into place.

After our interior design transformation, both clients and team members experienced a noticeable shift in the space’s atmosphere, functionality, and overall energy. First impressions were absolutely EVERYTHING to us. Clients felt a sense of calmness in our luxurious setting and were amazed at how our stunning new space looked. As for our team, an organized workspace can uplift employees, making them feel more motivated and proud of where they work. And that’s exactly what Michele accomplished.

When Michele says she’s a phone call away, she means it. These projects are not easy, and there are always complications in these types of projects, but Michele and her team quickly responded to any concerns and always gave us a sense of relief that it would be taken care of. The best thing about working with Michele and her team is the transformation of our vision into reality and without the stress of doing it ourselves.

You will not regret your decision to hire Michele Pelafas. We had the best experience working with her and she definitely exceeded our expectations!

Our Final Thoughts On This Project:

This project was truly a labor of love. Helping Shami and Mona bring their vision to life was both inspiring and rewarding, and seeing how beautifully their clients and team have responded makes the journey even more meaningful.

Designing a space of this caliber requires hundreds of thoughtful decisions, each made in collaboration and trust. That spirit of partnership is what made Skinflection so special. From the sculptural marble desk to the illuminated arches and textured walls, every detail came together with purpose—to mirror the essence of their brand: an elevated, luxurious, and life-enhancing wellness experience.
