About

The Estheticians was founded in 1974 by Glen Conner and has been directed for more than forty-five years under its current leadership. The salon says its aim is high-standard service in a nurturing, warm setting.

Most visits to the facial menu can start with a skin care consultation, so the esthetician can recommend a suitable facial. The salon also offers consultations to build a personal skin maintenance routine. According to the salon, its services address anti-aging, hyperpigmentation and acne.

Signature offerings include DiamondGlow, a non-invasive resurfacing treatment built on SkinMedica serums, and several HydraFacial levels. Dr. Dennis Gross alpha beta peel facials are priced from $150 to $190, and SkinMedica condition-specific facials target concerns such as fine lines, brightening, congestion and dullness. The salon sells SkinMedica take-home products, including TNS Advanced+ and HA5 serums, to use between treatments.

Waxing uses azulene-based formulas, and the salon advises against waxing for clients using Retin-A or Accutane or after sun exposure. The men's menu includes customized facials, back treatments and Swedish and deep tissue massage.

Clients usually begin with a skin care consultation so the treatment can be matched to their skin, and personal maintenance plans are available.

The salon describes its setting as warm and nurturing.
