The Mint Facial Bar Apple Valley, CA

The business is owned by Addie Contreras and runs three locations: two in Utah, in Lehi and Salt Lake City, and one in Apple Valley, California. Its stated goal is to make high-end skincare available to people regardless of background, budget or skin type. It calls itself a high-end spa with a neighborhood feel and aims to make every guest feel welcome and valued.

A visit usually starts with a personalized skin consultation from the staff. The Skin Imaging Analysis ($35) looks at pores, wrinkles, pigment, skin roughness, sun damage, areas where new wrinkles are forming, oil production, broken capillaries, skin age and hydration. It is complimentary with a first Custom Treatment.

The Custom Treatment is a $95 flat-rate facial shaped around concerns such as acne, aging, dryness or sensitivity, and the business says there are no hidden fees. Clients can add any or several options: chemical peels, microneedling, microdermabrasion, dermaplaning, LED light therapy, ultrasonic deep pore cleaning, facial massage and peppermint scalp massage. In California, microneedling is called Nanoneedling.

Other facials include the HydraFacial at $160, and the Deluxe HydraFacial at $210, which adds dermaplaning, LED light therapy, the Facial Workout and a scalp massage. The Facial Workout ($65) combines facial massage with jade rolling, textured rolling, heated gua sha and cryo globes. Scalp Treatment is $55. Hours are Monday to Saturday 9:00 am to 7:00 pm and Sunday 10:30 am to 5:00 pm. The business is also hiring estheticians, with resumes sent to connect@mintfacialbar.com.

Personalized treatments with a people-first approach, beginning with skin consultations from staff.

A high-end spa setting with a neighborhood warmth, as the business describes it.
