We’re looking forward to introducing you to Luna Lombardi . Check out our conversation below.
Luna , we’re thrilled to have you with us today. Before we jump into your intro and the heart of the interview, let’s start with a bit of an ice breaker: What are you most proud of building — that nobody sees?
I’m most proud of building a space in the beauty industry where competition is replaced by collaboration. A space where we share knowledge, support each other, and celebrate every win together.
Over the past ten months my life took an unexpected turn. My clientele suddenly filled with some of the most talented hairstylists in Miami, LA, and New York. Now, I have the privilege of caring for the skin of the very artists who help others feel their most confident.
There’s something powerful about that exchange: making the people who make people feel beautiful, feel beautiful themselves. That’s the side of the industry I’m proud to represent.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m Luna Lombardi — medical esthetician, biohacker, and beauty industry innovator with a fine arts education, a master’s degree in Art Direction, and a lifelong background in fashion. Raised in a family that owned a major fashion company in Brazil, I developed an instinct for aesthetics early on, which has shaped every chapter of my career. My creative path has taken me from fashion to owning Chapel Tattoos in South Beach, a destination known for merging artistry with individuality.
Today, I work with high-profile clients in Miami and New York, delivering advanced skin treatments that fuse medical-grade technology, biohacking, and an artist’s precision. My approach includes modalities such as medical-grade LED therapy, exosomes, and customized peel protocols — all tailored to create results that are as transformative as they are lasting.
Beyond the treatment room, I’m passionate about educating clients and helping them understand their skin on a deeper level. My journey has been one of creativity, resilience, and a constant drive to merge art and science into a signature approach that redefines beauty.
Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. What was your earliest memory of feeling powerful?
One of my most memorable moments of feeling powerful was exactly nine years ago, August 14, 2016. I walked into an office, signed stacks of paperwork, and walked out as the owner of a Miami condo. Paid in cash. In full. No mortgage.
I was living the American dream, even without being American.
We live in a world that often tries to convince you you’re not capable, not enough, or that your dreams are too big. People will manipulate, doubt, and try to diminish you. One day, I had a wake-up call. I remembered I was that girl. And keep in mind, you are that girl too.
What did suffering teach you that success never could?
That life is very fragile.
In the beginning of November 2023, during a business meeting, I got a notification from an app called MyChart. I opened it and read the words that would change everything. I had cancer. I stepped out for a moment, gathered myself, and then finished my workday in auto mode. I was in panic.
I went through surgery, and just days after, my father was diagnosed with cancer too. We began chemotherapy one week apart. He never made it to his second session. He passed.
Suffering is immeasurable. And there is no English translation for the Portuguese word “saudades”, the deep, untranslatable longing for someone you love and have lost.
I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. Is the public version of you the real you?
Oh, believe me, I’m me all the time, and all my clients know it. Sometimes, when I decide to show my “beautiful” face and my “beautiful” voice — said with full irony, of course — along with my horrible accent on Instagram, I get a little paranoid about what my new followers will think. Probably, “What is this crazy woman even talking about?”
Because when I show up, trust me, I’m not talking about skincare. If you meet me and we hang out, I will never, ever talk about skincare, treatments, or whether you’re wearing SPF.
I need space to expand my public real self, which I believe is my best self: unfiltered and unhinged. That’s why I’m launching my podcast, Miami Unhinged (@miamiunhinged).
Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. If you retired tomorrow, what would your customers miss most?
That’s a really, really good question. Honestly, I’m so curious about it that I’m going to add it to my own client intake form and have everyone update theirs. I want to know what they think they’d miss most if I retired.
It would also be a great guide for me to see what I should improve on in my business, what matters most to my clients, what they value, and maybe even what they wish I did more of.
If I had to guess, I think it wouldn’t just be the treatments. It would be the energy in the room, the way I make them feel seen, and the unfiltered conversations that have nothing to do with skincare.
