Lola is truly a miracle worker. I received a gift card for my birthday and I've been dying to find…read morea great aesthetician in my area. I booked a 90 minute session with Lola. When arriving, she took the time to look at my face and talked to me about my concerns. She suggested a few treatments, and then proceeded to take some before photos. The whole experience was very relaxing and pleasant. After my session was complete, Lola took after photos and showed me the difference just one session could do. I have a lot of dark spots around my eyes and chin area. You could dramatically see the difference and she really recommended what I needed for my skin, and did not try upsell me. She even recommended afforadable brands for post skin care after my treatment. My skin has not been clearer and I've finally been able to wear a lighter coverage foundation, not worrying about my dark spots. I can't wait for my next session. Lola showed me it was possible to live life a different way, and I feel more confident in day to day interactions with others now. I cannot recommend Lola enough. If you are on the fence, don't be. You can tell she loves what she does and cares about helping those that come see her.

I live in JC and wanted to try a place close to home. I am so happy that I did…read more I had a facial + lactic peel and it was great start to finish. I was totally comfortable while getting the peel. As for the facial, the products smelled great and felt great on my skin. She never left the room while products were working on your skin either. Instead, she gave a relaxing head, neck, and shoulder massage. End Result: my skin looks great and I was wonderfully relaxed at the end of the process. Highly recommend this place.

PLEASE DO NOT GO HERE. UNLAWFULLY OPERATED…read more The practice is run by a Physician Assistant (PA), but New York State law clearly states that PAs must work under the supervision of a licensed physician. When I asked to speak with their Medical Director, I was told they didn't have one. (Article 131-B of the New York Education Law governs the practice of physician assistants in the state.) The injector GiGi performed unauthorized treatments, including injecting Botox into my gummy lines--something I never requested or approved. When I returned to address the poor results, the PA had to step in to sternly direct the injector to only use half an injection to fix the Spock brow I had been left with. Despite these efforts, the results were far from satisfactory. My appearance resembled what can only be described as a "serial killer" smile. (See below pictures) They also convinced me to choose a "lip flip" instead of lip fillers, claiming it would help "quiet my facial muscles" before injections. It's unclear whether the resulting smile was caused by the lip flip or the unauthorized gummy line injections, but the outcome has been devastating. Even three months later, my smile is still not back to normal, despite being told that the effects would wear off quickly. The dismissive attitude that mistakes don't matter because "Botox wears off" is unacceptable. If a procedure's effects last for months, the least they can do is get it right the first time. Another alarming issue is their lack of transparency. While consent and waiver forms are uploaded to the online portal, they fail to include any documentation of the injection sites. This omission feels deliberate, and it makes me question what they might be trying to hide. On a personal level, this experience ruined what should have been a joyful time. I had just returned from a 10-month military deployment and was looking forward to reuniting with my loved ones. I wanted to look refreshed and less stressed, but instead, I ended up feeling self-conscious and unattractive. I even asked my boyfriend to delay proposing because I didn't want to look this way in engagement photos. It's heartbreaking that such a special moment had to be put on hold because of their carelessness. The staff assured me that what happened to me was rare and that the effects would subside quickly. However, after extensive research, I found only one similar case online, which confirms that my experience is far from normal.
