to maintain your skin’s health, we generally recommend treating yourself to a facial every three-four weeks. your esthetician will be able to monitor your skin monthly while giving your pores a deep clean.

yes, it’s possible to purge (breakout) after a facial- especially if you’ve never had a facial treatment, or if it’s been a while since your last one. your skin can react to the active ingredients used in the treatment that increase cell turnover- bringing congestion, excess oil and bacteria build-up to the surface.

don’t let this scare you away! it’s an important part of your journey to healthy skin.

it depends on what type of results you’re looking for. immediately after your treatment, your skin will feel brighter, hydrated and clean- an overall healthy glow.

if we’re treating acne, it will vary between each client depending on their skin condition(s), consistency and at-home regimen.

yes, wash your face with a gentle cleanser and apply SPF. your esthetician needs to see how your skin’s health is on an average day.

wait at least four-six hours after your facial to wash your face. you don’t want to wash away those skin care products before letting them do their magic.

in your appointment confirmation email, you’ll see a button to “cancel or reschedule”.

the online system will not allow clients to cancel within 24 hours of their appointment. to avoid being charged the cancellation fee, please cancel/reschedule in advance, outside of the 24 hour period.

no, your credit card is used to hold your spot on the calendar! you will be charged at checkout, after your treatment.
