About Tara Fykes
Your Tampa Esthetician
Tara Fykes is the owner and lead esthetician at Skin Deep Aesthetic Studio in North Tampa. With over 10 years of experience in esthetics and skincare, Tara specializes in treating complex skin concerns including hormonal acne, autoimmune conditions, and anti-aging.
A Different Approach to Skincare
After a decade of working with skin, Tara noticed a pattern: most spas treat skincare like a transaction. Pick a treatment from the menu, get the standard protocol, buy the products they’re pushing, leave.
That approach doesn’t work when you’re dealing with hormonal chaos, stubborn cystic acne, or skin that reacts to everything. So Tara built Skin Deep around a different philosophy: actually look at your skin, understand what’s triggering the issues, and customize treatment accordingly.
No packages. No product lines to sell. No pressure to commit to treatments you might not need. Just honest skincare that addresses the root cause, not just the symptoms.
Experience and Expertise
Tara’s extensive background includes training in advanced facial techniques, chemical peels, microneedling, and cosmetic skincare ingredients. She has worked with clients dealing with:
Hormonal acne and post-pill breakouts
Cystic acne and acne scarring
Autoimmune skin conditions
Rosacea and reactive skin
Melasma and hyperpigmentation
Anti-aging and preventative care
What sets Tara apart is her ability to treat the whole picture—not just what’s happening on your skin’s surface, but what’s triggering it. She takes time to understand your hormones, stress, products, and lifestyle because they all impact your skin.
Why Skin Deep Exists
Tara created Skin Deep for people who are tired of cookie-cutter treatments and product pushin
g. The boutique studio model allows her to focus entirely on each client without the pressure to upsell or rush through appointments.
Clients often say Tara feels like a therapist who happens to be incredible at skincare. She listens, she’s honest about what’s realistic, and she doesn’t judge you for picking at your skin or forgetting your SPF.
If you’ve been dealing with skin issues that no one seems to take seriously, or you’re tired of spending money on treatments that don’t work, Tara gets it. She’s here to help.
