What Our Clients Say

  • I was a bit apprehensive at first as I didn't know what to expect and let’s face it (no pun intended) our skin is everything and the older I get the fewer chances I take with it. Then I met my esthetician who from the very beginning was beyond informative and thorough as we moved through each and every step of my facial. From start to finish I couldn’t have been made more comfortable and couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. Needless to say I will be back again and again and recommend her expertise and services to anyone who’s skin might be in need of a little or in my case a lot of TLC. Your skin will thank you!

    Ryan R.

  • Fantastic esthetician and just as sweet! My skin was in rough shape, I was struggling with clogged pores and seeing her for a customized facial flipped a switch for my skin! I left relaxed, clean and glowing. The studio itself is so cute, very inviting and parking is so so easy. I cannot wait to start doing a series of peels soon.

    Lauren D

  • Highly recommend. She is so knowledgeable, helpful and good at what she does. She is very genuine, authentic and makes you feel comfortable. I really enjoyed my facial and other treatments. Both the experience and results afterwards.

    Kristina C

  • I've been coming here since January, and it has made the hugest difference in my skin. During my first appointment, I decided to get the 2 hour facial and it was so luxurious and relaxing. At the time, I was desperate for help because I was dealing with the most awful breakouts and they left so much scarring.

    Nicole

  • I’ve had a great experience here. My estheticican is knowledgeable and tailors my facials to my what skin needs. Her prices are also more than fair. I would recommend her!

    Angel A

  • I thoroughly enjoy each facial or treatment ... The services are more than fairly priced for the experience. Who doesn't love a heated tempur-pedic bed on silk sheets. Booking is simple, flexible and quickly responds to any questions I have regarding my appointment or general skin care. She is easy to talk to and knowledgeable. The location is safe, clean and parking is free! I was hesitant to try Dermaplaning but it has completely changed my skin. I highly recommend...

    Catherine M

  • I booked my first ever facial about a month ago and let me tell you it was super relaxing, therapeutic and luxurious!! My skin went from looking dry and dull to smooth and glowing. I definitely had to go in for a second time and now I'm incorporating this into my skin regime. Monthly custom luxe facial with derma plane is the way to go. You can truly see the results after, skin is flawless...she is so easy to get along with and her studio is super comfy. Can't wait to continue my skin care journey with her.
