Her Story

Meet Priti

Priti Patel is a licensed esthetician with 26 years of professional experience. She founded Le Petit Spa in Charlotte in 2010 and has run it as an owner-operator ever since.

Real results come from professional-grade products, skilled hands, and treatments tailored to your skin, not a one-size-fits-all approach. That standard shapes every appointment at both of her studios.

Le Petit Spa now runs two Charlotte locations, Ballantyne and SouthPark, on the same menu and the same standard. Priti personally selects every professional-grade brand the spa treats with and stocks.

She also formulates her own line. La Fleur by Priti, a multi-use Alchemist oil for face, body and hair, is sold alongside the professional brands she carries.

Sixteen years in one city builds a particular kind of reputation. Charlotte Magazine has named Priti herself Best Esthetician, an award separate from anything the business has won, and clients who started with her at one location have followed her to the other. She teaches as readily as she treats: her Skin School posts answer the questions people are too embarrassed to ask at a counter, in plain language, for anyone in the city who wants to understand their own skin.

The result is a practice that is founder-led in the literal sense. The person who chose the products, wrote the protocols and put her name on the door is the person in the room with you.
