Clareza Skin

Owner Sarah Fannin set out to bring a facial spa to the west side of Bradenton, an area she describes as underserved. The business is registered as Clareza Skin, LLC, and is open Monday to Friday from 9:00 to 3:00 and Saturday from 11:00 to 5:00, closed Sundays.

Facials are booked by duration, from 30 minutes at $70 to 2 hours at $280, with 45-minute, 60-minute and 90-minute options in between. The client picks the length, and the facial is designed on the day of the appointment. A facial can draw on double cleansing, high-frequency extractions, cold therapy, lifting facial massage, dermaplaning when suitable, and buccal massage. Options also include Carboxy Therapy, V-Tox, Nano Infusion Facial Therapy and Green Sea Peel, which the salon describes as a pregnancy-safe resurfacing treatment. Facials may use Korean ampoule infusions, including Salmon D.N.A., hyaluronic acid and peptides.

Korean chemical peels are offered for acne, pigmentation and rejuvenation. The 75-minute head spa, priced at $175, is aimed at scalp dryness, buildup and stress-related tension, and it includes a microscope scalp analysis before and after, a jade comb scalp massage, and a warm oil massage for the scalp, neck and shoulders. A 30-minute Dry Head Spa at $70 can be added to facial appointments only. Buccal massage is an intraoral facial massage at $70 for 30 minutes; the salon says it helps sculpt the face and relieve jaw tension and TMJ pain. eGift cards come in $100, $175, $200 and $250 amounts or a custom amount.

Each facial is designed on the day of the appointment around the length the client chooses.

The salon describes its setting as intimate.
