Chemical peels are offered in strengths from gentle to strong, chosen to fit each client, using brands including Bio Medic, Cosmedix, Glytone, SkinMedica, SkinPro, Societe and SkinCeutical. The salon lists peels for tone and texture, sun-damage discoloration, breakouts, fine lines and hydration. The HydraFacial is a one-session treatment of about 30 to 45 minutes that cleanses, exfoliates, extracts impurities and hydrates, using a mild acid peel, vacuum-style extraction and serums, with optional LED light therapy. SkinPen microneedling creates microscopic channels to stimulate collagen and elastin, and the salon says it suits all skin types, including acne scars and sun damage. Dermaplaning uses a medical scalpel to exfoliate and remove fine facial hair, and it can be paired with a peel or facial.
Laser services include AFT intense pulsed light for even color and reduction of small broken blood vessels and pigmented lesions such as age spots, near-infrared pulsed light for tightening loose skin on the face and neck, and Pixel, a fractional laser that aims to improve texture and tone. Laser360 combines AFT, skin tightening and Pixel, can be customized for the face, neck, chest and hands, and is usually a course of six sessions spaced two to three weeks apart. The salon describes its Pain-Free, Hair-Free laser hair removal as an effective, permanent reduction option. Lash lifts curl lashes upward, can be tinted, take about 30 minutes to an hour and last roughly 8 to 12 weeks. Brow waxing and tinting and waxing and tinting are performed by a licensed aesthetician, according to the site. CoolSculpting uses controlled cooling to reduce targeted fat cells, and a free consultation by appointment is required before deciding if it is right for a client. Results may begin around three weeks after treatment and are most visible at two months, with fat clearance continuing for four to six months. There is no recovery period.
New clients can start with a consultation, and appointments can be booked online or by phone. Calling ahead is recommended for visits without an appointment, and availability depends on each aesthetician's schedule. The salon calls 24 to 48 hours before an appointment to confirm it, and asks for at least 24 hours' notice to cancel. Hours are Monday 9 to 5, Tuesday 10 to 6, Wednesday 9 to 5, Thursday 9 to 5 and Friday 8 to 3, and may change for weather or staff training. The Glow Rewards program earns 1 point per dollar spent on products and services, excluding CoolSculpting, with 250 points for signing up, 500 points for a Google or Realself review, and 2500 points redeemable for a $50 gift card on any service.
