I had an oxygen facial with Christina, esthetician and owner of Skin Zen Escape, two weeks ago…read more My skin looked amazing afterwards, yet what amazes me *even more* is that two weeks later, I can say that my skin, with minimal upkeep on my part, truly looks better than it has since before teenage acne hit me (well over 20 years ago)! Christina asked me to complete a skin questionnaire upon my arrival, and at the beginning of the appointment, she assessed my skin carefully (but without the judgmental comments that I unnecessarily had feared) and recommended the facial that she thought would be best for me. Each step of the way throughout the facial, Christina explained what she was doing, and she also provided helpful skin tips and insights. She truly took her time, and she clearly took pride in providing quality, individualized care to me (and to her clients overall, I would think). At the end of the facial, Christina also provided me a nice travel-size kit of skincare products (with detailed individualized recommendations) to put me on the right path for post-facial skincare. Christina introduced me to the skincare line that she uses and that she offers for sale to her clients, but she did not pressure me to buy products. I fully recommend Christina and Skin Zen Escape. I already have booked my next facial!

Little did I know how much that would change my whole skincare routine/skin health overall. I ended up booking the appointment for September 2023 with Arlette. During our appointment my acne was evidently severe mainly around my chin/cheeks. Arlette mentioned I should book a skin consultation appointment to help me get it under control. Mind you prior to this I was on an expensive skincare routine that was recommended by another spa, so I was a bit apprehensive. Nonetheless, I ended up booking the appointment for the following week. They primarily use ZO products. She put me onto the following: oil control pads, daily power defense, exfoliating cleanser, acne control benzoyl peroxide, dual action scrub, tretinoin, and recommended spf. Products were not used in that order, they created a custom day and night routine for me. Then switch to retinol instead of Tret. In between I also did 2 vi peels and 2 skin pen microneedling(done elsewhere). Zo products and the Facebar has truly changed my skin and given me more confidence than ever. Sad to be relocating to TX, however I am so happy I came across the Facebar on Instagram when I moved to the area.

Yeah, me too. That's pretty much the description of every salon experience I've had UNTIL I sat down in stylist Nikki's chair. I followed her to The Parlor from her previous salon because she's that wonderful! She listens to what I want and tells me what she's going to do BEFORE she does it. I've yet to be even slightly disappointed. The Parlor is such a cute and quaint little spot, and everyone seems so nice!

The waxing area is clean and tidy. If it's your first time, I recommend booking a session with Erin. She was patient and kind throughout the process. Erin made sure I was happy with the results and gave me directions on how to properly care for my skin for the next 24 hours. Right now, you can get an extra 10% off a wax treatment when you check-in on the yelp app. Treat yourself to some pink starbursts when you check-out. Overall it was a sweet experience.
