She is detail oriented and I left every time feeling refreshed and beautiful. Lashes are super comfortable as well. I live an active lifestyle (gym, school and work full time) and the lashes last through all my blood, sweat and tears I throw at them! I've saved so much time getting ready in the morning with these lash extensions. With proper upkeep/cleaning my lashes last a good 3-4 weeks before I need a fill, but even then I was still left with a majority of the extensions retained and it still look great/presentable. Maya always has good deals going as well so definitely check her out!

Last week, I went to see the owner Carrie for a gentleman's facial--including hot stone shoulder massage--and realized I need to take better care of myself, even as I am working so hard to take care of those around me.

I had my first microdermabrasion with Paula yesterday, after seeing a deal on Groupon. This…read moreexperience was amazing..the whole process lasted TWO HOURS and it definitely relaxed me to the point where I fell asleep a couple times. The Groupon also included a paraffin hand treatment, but be forewarned that the paraffin is scalding hot when you dip your hands in. Paula started out with a facial, including extractions. I actually think that during the extractions, she was also tweezing the little hairs on the area between my nose and cheek! Never had an esthetician do that before but I actually appreciated that. Then came the microdermabrasion and then after that was a very thorough arm, chest, shoulder, scalp and face massage. That was what made her stand out from the other estheticians I've been to. It wasn't a quick lotion rub down. I love a good massage. Just when I thought it was over, then came a cooling seaweed mask which was left on my face for 20 minutes. There was a lot of other steps to my experience with Paula but I'm highlighting the points that makes her stand out. Her office is in a suite of other businesses, which includes a private parking lot in back. That is a big deal, when located on busy Santa Clara St. After it was all over, she showed me my dead skin and all the gunk she got out from the extractions. It's the day after, and my skin is feeling and looking smooth and soft. I definitely plan on going back. Who knows...if she keeps this up, I may have to switch over from the regular esthetician I've been seeing for over 12 years and buy a series of facials.
