About

The menu runs from everyday facials through targeted and lifting treatments, hydradermabrasion facials, chemical peels, brow and lash tinting, and waxing from the chin and lip to the full leg with bikini.

The studio says it aims to help clients feel confident and comfortable in their skin. It uses plant-based and phyto-aromatic products. The website describes the business as offering the best facials in Chicago; that is the studio's own claim.

The lifting facials are each about an hour and a half and combine several technologies: one pairs dermaplaning with nano-infusion and microcurrent, another pairs microcurrent with nano-infusion and oxygen therapy, and a third adds LED light therapy. The HydraLift Infusion and HydraSculpt facials are built on hydradermabrasion, with nano-infusion and microcurrent in one and enzyme exfoliation and microcurrent in the other. The Rosacea Facial includes LED light therapy. Peels come in three levels, from an antioxidant peel to a salicylic acid peel to a stronger peel containing a 30% AGP complex and L-lactic acid.

Waxing clients should plan ahead. For one week before a waxing treatment, the studio asks clients to avoid retinoids, retinol, and benzoyl peroxide, and not to wax, tweeze, or use depilatories on the treated areas. A $10 fee is added to a first-time bikini or Brazilian wax. The studio asks for two days' notice to reschedule or cancel, and a cancellation fee may apply otherwise. A client who misses an appointment without notice may be charged 50% of the reserved service. Hours are Tuesday and Thursday 11AM to 8PM, Wednesday and Friday 1PM to 8PM, Saturday and Sunday 9AM to 3PM, and closed Monday.

Aims to help clients feel confident and comfortable in their skin, using plant-based and phyto-aromatic products.
