We’ll get under your skin
Warning: results may be addictive
Mikura is a holistic skincare studio in Lawrence, KS.
We're here for the clients who've tried everything. The prescriptions, the routines, the products that promised results and delivered irritation.
If you have acne, sensitivity, or skin that just won't cooperate — you're exactly where you need to be. And we intend to be the last place you have to look.
Meet the founder
Hey! I’m Naomi —
Former skin picker, current acne specialist.
I was in middle school when my acne started flaring. It was reactive, persistent, the kind you can't stop touching (even though you know better). My mom took me to Walgreens every few weeks to try something new. Eventually I saw a dermatologist — who looked at my skin for two minutes and handed me a prescription.
(Sound familiar?)
I became obsessed with ‘fixing’ my skin, but nothing was sustainable.
Then I went back to Japan.
We’d often go for trips to visit my mom’s family. Every time — within a few weeks of arriving — my inflamed, angry skin would settle.
Was it the water? The air? The food? Everything was cleaner. And the products my grandmother would lend me were simple — a few gentle formulas she'd used for years, nothing overflowing from the shelves. Her skin was always beautiful. Mine started to take notes.
Gentleness was the answer — and it felt like cracking a code.
To my family in Japan, it was just how things were.
Diet, sleep, stress, what you put on your face — of course it all shows up on your skin! But growing up in America, it wasn’t framed that way for us.
I came home, trained as an esthetician, and chose to specialise in acne because I knew how all-encompassing this battle can be. How acne slowly chips away at your confidence until you stop looking people in the eye.
If you've tried everything, just know: so have I. Which is why I’m so proud of creating something that truly works.
Mikura is a reflection of my own healing —
Eastern philosophy and Western technology.
The gentleness of one, the efficacy of the other. Coming together to achieve Bihada (美肌) — ‘beautiful skin.’
I know what's waiting for you on the other side of this battle. And I can’t wait to help you get there.
See you in the studio?

Choosing the right esthetician comes down to one question:
Do they want to heal your skin fast, or heal it properly?
Your complexion is unique, but one thing is true for everyone: gentle consistent care outperforms aggressive intervention.
We're deliberate about not causing damage on the way to results, because the goal isn't just ‘better skin ASAP.’
The goal is ‘better skin for good.’
Healthy skin is our love language.
Whether you're dealing with a specific skin issue or simply want healthy, happy skin that glows at any age — you're in the right place.
