ABOUT
Welcome to Ecology Room — a modern skincare studio rooted in ancient wisdom.
Located in the heart of Rochester’s Park Avenue neighborhood, Ecology Room is a sanctuary for mind, body, skin, and soul. Created by licensed esthetician and holistic health coach Nichole Dunst, this space invites you to slow down, reconnect, and rediscover your natural radiance.
At Ecology Room, we believe that healthy skin starts from within, and that aging is both an honor and a blessing. Our facials combine nutrient-rich botanical ingredients, the healing power of intentional touch, and a space designed to calm your nervous system — so you can leave feeling restored on every level.
Beauty is pain pleasure.
When I began this practice, I set out to flip the script.
The beauty industry often whispers that beauty is pain — that we must fix, tweak, and buy our way to worthiness. But here, we believe something different:
Beauty is pleasure. It’s feeling cared for. It’s reconnecting with your body. It’s knowing that radiance doesn’t come from a product — it comes from within.
My intention is for every person who walks through these doors to feel better about themselves — not worse. To feel nurtured, not judged. To leave with more softness and confidence — not a checklist of things to "fix."
True beauty is cultivated the more we care for ourselves and each other.
And it begins with filling your own cup.
It’s an honor to help you fill yours.

Hello, I’m Nichole-
Holistic Esthetician, Herbalist, and Health Coach
After working in the airline industry for 6 years, I decided to take the leap and start a career in esthetics. My approach to skincare is inspired by my lifelong interest in the human body and the interconnectedness between its various parts, my admiration for travel and exploration, and my deep reverence for Earth and all she has to offer.
My facials weave together herbal skincare and ancient healing modalities with modern technologies that prioritize skin health above all else. I love to educate on diet, lifestyle, and other conscious living practices that contribute to our external appearance.
