About

Unity Skin + Wellness was founded by Ona Rea, a licensed esthetician who has worked since 2008. The business was set up to educate and inspire people through health and beauty services, and it presents itself as a boutique spa for holistic beauty and wellbeing. Ona's background includes work in both a medical spa and a dermatology setting.

The facials are built around massage rather than treating it as a short step in the treatment. The approach draws on Ayurvedic methods, aromatherapy, acupressure, Gua Sha, cupping and reflexology, and the practice uses few gadgets or machines, relying mostly on touch. Every facial covers the face, neck and decollete, includes customized skin care products and aromatherapy, and aims to ease tension held in the face, scalp and neck. The business regards the skin as the body's largest organ and worth regular attention. According to the salon, advanced massage supports the circulation of blood, lymph and fluid to nourish the skin, and services pair skin care with nutrition.

Signature offerings include the Sculpt Uplifting Buccal Facial, a 105-minute treatment with facial sculpting and intra-oral massage, and two Jaw Release facials aimed at jaw tension, clenching and TMJ. Buccal massage has been offered since March 2019, both as an add-on and within certain facials. Other options include a Gua Sha facial, manual lymphatic drainage, a Microcurrent Vibrancy Facial with LED light therapy, and a DNA Skin Natural Facelift that uses Signal Pro serum with micro-current and red LED. A Glow Facial Yoga treatment combines facial massage with guided face yoga, and a six-session one-on-one face yoga program is also available.

Bookings are made online, and a credit card is required to hold the appointment time; the card is not charged. Cancellations or changes need at least 24 hours' notice. Same-day cancellations are charged half the scheduled service and no-shows are charged the full amount. Services start and end on time, so late arrivals may have treatments shortened, with full charges applied. Gratuity is not included in pricing; 15 to 20 percent is noted as standard but not required. The business accepts major credit and debit cards, Zelle, Venmo, PayPal and cash, and asks for exact cash since no change is kept. Client information, health history forms and treatment room conversations are kept confidential.

To get there, park in the lot in front of the US Bank building, then take the elevator outside its entrance to the second floor or use the stairs on the sides of the buildings.

Holistic skincare that combines massage with a range of traditional and hands-on modalities, using minimal machines and pairing treatments with education and nutrition.

A single treatment room in a shared suite, with a quiet waiting room while sessions are in progress.
