Donna Ryan

Donna Ryan Facialist is based in Marylebone, bringing a calm, attentive approach to modern London facials. The business does not publicly state how long it has operated in Marylebone. It also lists appointments in Croxley Green, and does not publicly state which location came first. Donna Ryan shares that her own years of severe acne and an undiagnosed thyroid condition shaped a lasting interest in skin health and wellbeing, and that personal experience still shows up in the way sessions are paced and personalised. Clients can expect a private appointment that starts with listening and observation. Skin is assessed carefully, sensitivities are respected, and the treatments are chosen with intention rather than habit. Some clients come for ongoing maintenance, others arrive when stress, travel, or a busy calendar has started to show on the face. In a neighbourhood known for discretion and high standards, the experience feels measured and reassuring, designed for people who want to look better without feeling rushed or processed.

Technique That Respects Time

Treatments focus on touch and technique, with signature work centred on facial Gua Sha and options that can include buccal massage, deep cleansing, optional extractions, lymphatic-focused massage and masks. These facials are described as suitable for a wide range of concerns, including breakouts, sensitivity and redness. For those holding tension beyond the face, some sessions extend to the back and other areas. Product choices are kept purposeful, including Dermaviduals and other plant-based skincare ranges used in her treatments. Expertise is supported by professional training, including study with the College of Oriental Therapy in Gua Sha, Acupressure and Cupping, advanced training with recognised facial Gua Sha educators, Vodder manual lymphatic drainage, and a Level 4 VTCT qualification. In Marylebone she also offers self-care workshops and professional courses that teach Gua Sha technique with clear, practical instruction. Trust is strengthened by the public reviews displayed on her site and a displayed 5.0 Google rating, where clients regularly mention a lifted look, hydration, and the sense of being genuinely cared for.
