Farewell, 2025 🤍

As we close the chapter on 2025, we want to take a moment to say thank you—from the bottom of our hearts.

To every client who trusted us with their skin, their stories, and their ideas…
To every artist who shared our space, our energy, and became part of the Base NYC journey…
To everyone who supported us, checked in on us, believed in us, and grew with us along the way—this year wouldn’t have been what it was without you.

Base NYC has always been more than just a studio. It’s been a community, a creative home, and a journey we’re proud of—built together, step by step.

2025 taught us a lot, shaped us, and prepared us for what’s next.

This isn’t goodbye—it’s a see you soon.

We’ll see you all in 2026, in our new place, with new energy, new ideas, and the same soul that brought us here in the first place.

Thank you for being part of our story.
On to the next chapter.

🎄✨ Merry Christmas from Base NYC ✨🎄

This year has been a quiet one for us—but our hearts are full. We truly miss each and every one of our clients, every conversation, every session, every laugh… and of course all the incredible artists who’ve worked with us and shared the journey 🤍

Christmas is about reflection, gratitude, and family—and Base NYC has always been exactly that. While we’ve been laying low, we’ve also been planning something big. A strong comeback, a new chapter, and a future that’s going to feel very familiar… yet even better.

Thank you for your patience, your love, and your continued support.
Stay connected, stay close—because this is far from the end.

With love,
Base NYC
