The Sassy Esti

The Sassy Esti is a skincare business at 653 Michigan Ave in Holland, Michigan, run by licensed esthetician Melanie Ensing as a one-person practice. The business describes itself as a place where results and relaxation come together. Products come from Elina Organics, a holistic line that pairs botanical ingredients with skincare science.

Each Radiant Glow Ritual is tailored to the individual client's skin. The session brings together a facial massage, steam cleansing, deep pore vacuuming, diamond microdermabrasion, and either high frequency or LED light therapy, finished with a honey exfoliating mask and a botanical mask made for the client. A tailored chemical peel can be part of it. According to the salon, it is its most requested corrective skin care service. A 90-minute Enhanced version adds options such as facial cupping, extractions, dermaplaning, nano infusion, tailored chemical peels, and other targeted methods.

The 75-minute Micro-Crystal Derma-Infusion is a needle-free alternative to microneedling. It works with spicules, tiny crystals made of bio-silica obtained from sponges found in freshwater and in the sea. The crystals may stay in the skin for three to four days, and some redness and slight peeling can follow. A 15-minute add-on uses PDRN, a skincare ingredient made from purified fragments of salmon DNA, and the salon recommends a series of four to six sessions for it. A 20-minute dermaplaning add-on is available for any facial. The salon lists the following as contraindications: pregnancy, diabetes, use of blood-thinning medications, and active acne.
