I went in for a facial with Katelyn and amazing doesn’t even cover how i felt about her work. I felt so relaxed and she explained everything to me and was very thorough. Not only that but she made sure everything suited my skin type and put in the extra work to make sure i walked out happy. I would definitely recommend going to Katelyn for facials and everything else she has to offer!

I recently had an appointment with Emily T and was absolutely blown away by her professionalism and warmth. From the moment I walked in, she made me feel incredibly welcome—her sweet, gentle demeanor instantly put me at ease. Her technique is truly soothing, yet thorough. She took the time to explain every step of the treatment, offering thoughtful and informative guidance about my skin type and post-care routines. I never felt rushed; it was evident she cares deeply about doing the right thing for each client. What stood out most was her balance of kindness and expertise. She answered all my questions with clarity and patience, ensuring I understood why she recommended each product and technique—very much in line with what makes a standout aesthetician good: being educated, informative, an attentive listener, and professional. I wholeheartedly recommend Emily I can’t wait for my next visit!
