About

The studio takes its name from the halo effect, the idea that one standout quality colors how everything else around it is perceived. Alissa Burlingham, an esthetician with over ten years of experience, owns and runs it and created the business herself.

The facial menu starts with Cloud 7, a 60-minute hydrating facial at $110 that can be extended with dermaplaning, lymphatic drainage or a hydrating mask. The Halo Effect facial is a 70-minute treatment for all skin types, focused on brightening, graceful aging and hydration, and it is customized to each client and includes lymphatic and scalp massage, at $120. Fire and Ice is a 60-minute facial from IS Clinical at $165, which the salon describes as an iconic treatment.

For concerns beyond a standard facial, the microneedling facial is a 60-minute collagen-induction treatment at $250 aimed at skin texture, fine lines, pores and post-acne marks, with numbing time included. The Reset is a 50-minute chemical peel at $100, selected for each client's skin to refresh texture and brighten dullness. Halo Express is a quick 40-minute dermaplaning visit at $60.

Brow services include a 25-minute brow tint at $25 and a 50-minute brow stain at $40, and waxing covers brows and lips.

Clients should note the policies before booking: a 50% fee applies to no-shows and to cancellations made within 12 hours of the appointment. Buy Now, Pay Later is offered in person for bookings from $50 to $4,000, with approval required before the appointment.

Treatments are tailored to each client's skin rather than following one standard protocol. The stated aim is a relaxing, elevated visit alongside skincare focused on results.
