About

The studio sits on Palm Avenue in La Mesa and keeps shorter weekday hours, open Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, with Monday, Thursday and Sunday closed. The menu is grouped into facials, facial add-ons, a lash lift and tint service, sugaring, and a separate men's sugaring menu.

The quickest facial is the Express Facial, a 30-minute visit at $75 that starts with a cleanse and lets you choose either full-face dermaplaning or enzyme exfoliation. It is finished with products and SPF. The same service is also listed under the name Quick Refresh.

Three one-hour facials at $175 each are built around different skin needs. The Lift is aimed at anti-aging, fine lines, loss of firmness and dullness, and uses customized exfoliation and massage, with an optional intraoral buccal massage. The Restore is for sensitive, rosacea-prone, dry or dehydrated skin. The Clear is for acne, congestion, breakouts and oily skin, and may include extractions, high frequency and LED light therapy. Each carries a suggested gap between visits: every four to six weeks for The Lift and The Restore, and every two to four weeks for The Clear until the skin clears, then every four to six weeks.

Add-on services can be combined with a facial. Dermaplaning takes 10 minutes at $35 and removes dead skin cells and fine facial hair. TGF microchanneling is also a 10-minute add-on at $50, used for skin texture and collagen stimulation. Red light therapy is a non-invasive 10-minute add-on at $20.

The Korean lash lift and tint takes about an hour and a half and costs $120. The lash lift is expected to last six to eight weeks.

The sugaring menu covers the face, body and bikini area, with pairings such as Brazilian with underarms or glute cheeks, and Brazilian with natural brow shaping, at a combined rate. The men's menu has its own list covering brows, neckline, shoulders, chest, back and arms.

Facial plans are matched to the skin concern, and each treatment comes with a suggested interval between visits.
