I went in for a basic facial along with an underarm wax. The student Breanna Riffle was very attentive to my skin care concerns and made sure to cater to my issues. The service was amazing, I was helped as soon as I walked through the door. A very comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. Will definitely be back!

I had my second back facial and first ever facial done today by Destinee it was a very relaxing experience and she took the time to listen to my skin concerns and treat them appropriately. I highly recommend seeing Destinee for your skin care needs!

I went and got a custom facial from one of their new students, Brandy and my experience was so amazing! She may have been new to her program, but was so knowledgeable and reassuring about my skin. Her instructor, Barrett, was so calm, helpful and made her students feel confident in what they learn. They actually really helped with my very dry skin type and gave me some recommendations for types of products and I never felt like I was getting a “generic facial”. I have struggled with my skin for so long and I’ve never felt heard like I did with her. I can’t wait to come back and try a different service!!
