I received amazing front desk service from Maria! She’s very polite and made sure things were taken care of for me. Kendra gave me a Microdermabrasion facial, waxed my legs, and a nose wax. I appreciated the compliments from her and others on my skin. But I was relaxed and nodded off a few times. She made me feel comfortable enough to try both soft and hard wax for my legs. They look and feel so much better. I was very nervous about doing my nose but it wasn’t as bad as I thought and she did 2 pulls per nostril. I was very surprised to see how much hair I had in there. I can breathe better which she explained to me would help with allergies. Recommend 10/10. I will be back!

I absolutely loved my facial experience! I left feeling my skin incredibly clean, deeply hydrated, and refreshed. Iliana García was amazing—she explained the entire process in detail and walked me through every step she was doing on my skin, which made me feel very comfortable and confident. You can truly tell she is knowledgeable, caring, and passionate about her work. It was a relaxing and wonderful experience, and I highly recommend her. I will definitely be coming back!
