I have been a loyal customer for a little over a year. I love going here for relaxing facials that are not just good for my skin and mental health but great for my bank account as well. I have been reflecting about my experience from almost a week ago. I usually get sent to receive my treatments almost immediately after I check in. usually about 1-5 minutes. I take responsibility for not booking an appt in advance (which is what I thought I did) and luckily the spa had an open spot that day. my esthetician came in 25!!!! minutes late, never said im so sorry, never asked how I am and she was also very rough on my skin and she was very fast with the creams and masks. i… read full review

Reviews
everyone was very nice and professional. went here last year and had a good experience so was excited to come back. however, I’m disappointed by the quality of the service I received this time. she stopped after maybe 5-6 minutes of extractions and said my skin was “clean.” I walked out of the room and into the bathroom and saw that 1) parts of my skin were only half extracted and others looked untouched 2) the skin around my nose had become extremely dried out and flaky and 3) the products they used on me had created a bunch of small bumps on my forehead. pretty disappointing
I am sure every employee is wonderful, but I have to give a particularly special shoutout to Svetlana!! I am now planning the rest of my life around regular appointments with her. Came in with congested, dehydrated skin and left absolutely glowing and feeling so refreshed and relaxed. Her attention to detail was astounding, and I really appreciated all the at-home advice!
