Facial sessions focus on intensive work on the facial muscles and lymphatic drainage, with massage woven into skincare. According to the spa, its treatments can address TMJ disorder, sinus and pressure headaches, facial swelling (edema), acne, rosacea, uneven texture and tone, and visible signs of aging. The spa says its estheticians hold licenses.
The Facials & Treatments group includes a Teen Facial for clients under 18, a deep cleanse with steam, enzyme treatment, extractions and a hydrating masque. Bespoke organic facials run 60 or 90 minutes and include two masques and a facial massage. A Clear Complexion facial is a 90-minute option for breakouts, congestion, scars, pigmentation and inflammation, and an Age with Grace facial is designed for mature skin in 90 or 120 minutes. Other options include a Buccal Facial Sculpting Massage with intra-oral massage, a microdermabrasion facial, a PCA chemical peel given as a series with gradually increasing strength, LED light therapy, and a non-invasive microcurrent lift that is best done in a series. Dermaplaning can be added to any facial, and waxing is offered for areas from the face to the feet.
The Lash & Brow Shaping group covers brow shaping, lash and brow tints, brow lamination, and a keratin lash lift with tint that works on natural lashes without extensions. Brow lamination and the keratin lash lift each typically last about six to eight weeks, depending on hair growth and aftercare. The spa uses Eminence products and sells products for clients to use at home, and it also sells gift cards. Appointments can be booked online.
The approach draws on botanical treatments, modern equipment and client education to keep skin healthy. Every facial is tailored following a consultation about the skin.
Reviewers describe the space as calm, clean and cozy.
