I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a facial at the Avalon Institute of Aurora, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. Here's a detailed account of my visit: Before the facial began, I had a thorough consultation with my esthetician, Katy. She took the time to understand my skincare routine, concerns, and goals. Katy’s attention to detail and genuine care for my skin’s health were evident, and she explained each step of the upcoming treatment, ensuring I was comfortable and informed. The facial started with a gentle double cleanse using high-quality, products that felt luxurious on my skin. Katy’s touch was both expert and soothing. Following the cleanse, she performed an exfoliation that left my skin feeling incredibly smooth and refreshed. This was followed by a hydrating mask, during which she gave me a divine neck and shoulder massage. This part of the experience was incredibly relaxing, and I could feel the tension melting away. One of the standout features was the facial massage with a customized serum. Katy used a combination of techniques, which left my skin looking sculpted and radiant She concluded with a personalized moisturizer and SPF, perfectly suited to my skin type. Katy provided comprehensive post-care instructions and recommended products that would benefit my skin type. Her advice was practical and tailored to my needs, without any pressure to purchase products. Nevertheless, I found her recommendations so beneficial that I decided to invest in all of the items that will become staples in my skincare routine. The results were immediate and impressive. My skin was glowing, hydrated, and looked remarkably healthy. My facial at the Avalon Institute of Aurora was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The combination of professional expertise, high-quality products, and thoughtful extras made it the best facial I’ve ever had. I left feeling rejuvenated, with my skin looking better than ever. If you're looking for a facial that not only addresses your skin concerns but also provides a deeply relaxing and pampering experience, I highly recommend Avalon Institute of Aurora. It’s a true sanctuary for your skin and well-being.

I had the pleasure of having a facial from Ruby right before she graduated! We focused on relaxing and detoxifying. Ruby was very thorough with her consultation and offered me great advice. She was attentive to detail and provided me with a relaxing facial. While my masks were sitting, she offered me an amazing arm massage and scalp massage. Highly recommend!!

I had the most amazing facial done by Johanna. She was soft and gentle at the same time the massage really released all the knots and tension. If you’re skeptical about a student esthetician facial go to this school and ask for Johanna. She will not disappoint. She was always asking if this felt okay or if the pressure was okay. She will definitely make sure you have a relaxing time in her care. At the same time make your face glow like the sun.
