SPECIALTY SKIN CARE: “We are a results-driven aesthetic atelier specializing in facial sculpting massage, high tech treatments, and a curated selection of top skincare and wellness brands.” Jena Salzano, esthetician and owner of Anej Skin Studio, is enthusiastic about sharing her knowledge and experience with her clients.

“The world is too much with us: late and soon, Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers;”

—William Wordsworth

William Wordsworth wrote these words long ago, and perhaps they are even more relevant today. There seems to be little time away from the onslaught of the world around us, and the stress it induces. Driven by the internet and social media, time to reflect, relax, renew or refresh is scarce.

Jena Salzano hopes to help guide her clients through these times of uncertainty. While Anej Skin Studio focuses on helping treat a variety of skin conditions, owner Jena strongly believes in a holistic approach, one that can help relieve anxiety and bring a time of relaxation and even serenity to clients while they experience a skin procedure.

Highest Standards

“Stress is a big problem today,” she emphasizes. ”It affects all ages, and it can adversely affect the skin as well. By coming here, clients can have time for themselves and relax. We provide a haven for them, a time to let the cares slip away.

“This is a holistic studio,” she continues. “We help to bring wellness into your life. We try to help people and heal them with clean beauty. Everything we do and all our products are of the highest standards.”

The second of her two studios, Anej Skin Studio opened at 10 Nassau Street last November, following the establishment of her first location in Yardley, Pa., three years ago.

A licensed esthetician, Jena brings 20 years of experience to her discerning clients, many of whom have been with her since the beginning of her career at previous locations.

Primarily women and including all ages (“It’s never too late!” she reports), they come from all over the Princeton area, including Hunterdon County. The treatments offered are very individualized, she points out, depending on each client’s specific needs and condition.

Each new client’s experience begins with a consultation with Jena or one of the other estheticians to assess the client’s specific situation and to determine the appropriate treatment for the best result.

CUSTOMIZED CARE: This attractive room is the first introduction to Anej Skin Studio at 10 Nassau Street. Featuring a welcoming atmosphere, filled with light and warmth, it invites clients to experience a full range of skincare treatments for the face and body.

Holistic Approach

“A holistic approach to skincare is paired with state-of-the-art technologies and sculpting massage for exceptional results,” she points out. “In addition to using a curated collection of active ingredients, we provide clients with a personalized home regimen to continue to obtain the best results.”

The studio is set apart in a number of ways, says Jena. By incorporating the highest quality products from Europe and South Africa, the focus is on reducing toxins and increasing circulation in the skin, both in the face and body.

“We do this both with our facial and body treatments,” she explains. “We also firm the face and body with special technological devices. Our facials can help reduce fine lines and give a lifted look, especially with our holistic face lift.

“The products we use are the best and safest skincare products available, and they are exclusive to us in the area. They include Biologique Recherche, Environ, and Valmont. We also have the special IONIXLIGHT machine, which lifts, tones, brightens, and can resurface the skin. Another special machine, Oxygen Dome, from Korea makes the skin look like glass. Our Princeton clients really love this.”

Jena emphasizes the importance of the holistic and wellness approach at Anej. “This is an important way we are set apart. While all our treatments are designed to deliver discernible results, our wellness offerings place a particular emphasis on holistic health, longevity, and the intrinsic connection between the mind and body.

“We aim to inspire our clients to integrate self-care practices into their daily routines, recognizing its significant role in overall well-being. This approach reflects a growing trend within our industry and globally, as individuals increasingly prioritize comprehensive wellness.”

Sculpting Facials

The 12-member staff at Anej includes experienced estheticians, many of whom have specialties. Among the many treatments offered at the studio are several different kinds of sculpting facials and others, all geared to treat special conditions. Some include the use of technological treatments, light therapy, and specific exfoliation and peeling techniques. Body sculpting treatments also offer a range of specialized procedures.

Many skin conditions can be treated, from teenage blemishes to sun damage, mature skin issues, rosacea, etc.

In addition, Anej provides full body waxing, brow shaping and brow color, and eyelash extension. Pre-bridal sessions with specialized skincare procedures are available as well.

Jena points out that the more frequently clients come, the better results they will achieve. As she says, “The skin is affected by so many things. The environment, stress, and seasonal changes, for example, can all have negative effects. Frequent treatments bring the best results.”

Every Day

Jena is very encouraged by the response from Princeton clients. “We have had excellent word-of-mouth and many repeat and regular clients,” she reports. “They are so happy that they can look and feel better after our facial contouring and the relaxing experience they receive here.

“I love being able to share my 20 years of knowledge and experience both with my staff and clients. Providing our clients with the very best care is a special opportunity. It is really rare to be able to do something that helps people every day and can make a difference in their life.”

As she looks ahead, Jena Salzano wants to see Anej Skin Studio grow and prosper, and become known as “the place to come for the best facial and body care. You really have to experience what we offer to truly understand it. It is unique!”
