Le Petit Spa SouthPark

Le Petit Spa was founded in Charlotte in 2010 as an independent, owner-operated studio. Priti Patel, its founder and lead esthetician, personally selects every brand, protocol and product used at both locations, and both studios run the same menu, standards and hours.

The studio describes itself as a professional skincare spa built around skincare expertise. It reports Charlotte Magazine Best Of The Best wins for five consecutive years from 2013 to 2017 and again in more recent years, along with several other local awards for its day spa, brow and lash, hair removal and waxing services. These are the studio's own statements, and results and experiences vary by client.

Treatments are tailored to each person's skin rather than sold as a fixed package, and the studio says its results depend on professional-grade products and skilled hands. The menu includes 16 bookable facials, from a 45-minute customized Express Facial to Glass Skin Perfection and Teen Acne facials, along with options for men's skin.

Clients who prefer to start from home can book a virtual skincare consultation. Gift cards are bought through Mindbody and can be used for any service at either location. Professional-grade brands used in treatments, including the studio's retail line, are sold on its sister site, lepetitskincare.com.

Treatments are built around each client's skin, using professional-grade brands and protocols chosen personally by the founder.
