Seema Gupta

ABOUT Principal Esthetician and Owner

Hi, I’m Seema.

Hi, I’m Seema. I’m the founder of BLK BMR Skin Bar, a trained microbiologist, a longtime Scoutmaster, and a tomboy at heart. Growing up, I never really paid attention to skincare. I played tennis all day, rarely wore sunscreen, and didn’t know much beyond a face wash and the occasional sheet mask.

Then life shifted. I found myself in Albuquerque, where I was embraced by the warmth of this community. The kindness of local business owners, the support of mentors, and my education at Paul Mitchell gave me a second beginning. I dove into the science of skin with the same curiosity and dedication that fueled my earlier path in microbiology.

Now, I specialize in mature skin. I understand it because I live it. I’ve learned that it’s never too late to reverse damage, restore balance, and rediscover your glow.

BLK BMR Skin Bar is where I combine Korean skincare from RIMAN, Ayurvedic wellness, and real science to offer more than just beauty treatments. I offer education, empowerment, and care that goes deeper than the surface.

This is skincare for women like me. Women who start a little later. Women who do it their way. Women who are ready to glow.

Love them! And seriously Seema you have a true gift! I can't believe you just learned how to administer the lymphatic drainage Massage! You're a pro. And so much so that I recommend you tell your clients to drink a ton of water after the session because you're able to liberate so many toxins with your technique that they'll wanna flush them out! Incredible!!!!!!!

I finally understand how to build a routine that works for my skin. Seema’s facial came with a mini education session and my home routine is so much better now because of her.
