About

PIEL by Joan is a small skin care and waxing business in Crystal Lake, Illinois, that serves women and youth clients only. Joan owns the business and works as the esthetician. Before choosing a treatment, she learns about each client's skin type, concerns and goals, and the service is shaped around the answers. Waxing wax is also picked to suit each client's skin and hair type.

The facial menu runs from a 40-minute dermaplane facial to longer sessions with gua sha, LED light therapy, high frequency or microdermabrasion. Chemical peels include a glycolic pumpkin peel and a plant-based peel, and the chemical peel facial requires at least one express facial beforehand. Add-ons such as Cryo Globes, high frequency, a crystal and tuning fork treatment, and dermaplaning can be added to many services. Brow styling is a 30-minute waxing service with an optional brow stain, and brow lamination with shaping takes about 70 minutes. Waxing covers the face, underarms, arms, legs, chest, back and intimate areas, and the business uses Bushbalm wax. The business says its products are made with clean, skin-conscious ingredients and describes its treatments as results-driven.

Clients can book online through a GlossGenius page. Several services require a deposit of $10 to $25 when booked online, and deposits and membership payments are non-refundable unless stated otherwise. Cancellations or changes need at least 25 hours notice, and later cancellations are charged 50% of the scheduled service. No-call, no-show appointments are also charged 50%. Clients who arrive more than 15 minutes late may need a shorter service or a new appointment. The studio is open Tuesday through Friday, 10:30 AM to 5 PM, and offers gift cards.

Two multi-session options are available: Clear Back and Green Envee chemical peel series, each in a four-treatment or six-treatment package. A membership with a three-month minimum includes regular facial and LED light therapy visits, plus 10% off retail and services.

Joan learns each client's skin type, concerns and goals before tailoring the service, and chooses waxing products based on skin and hair type.

The studio aims for a calm, relaxing setting.
