I had the pleasure of receiving services at Peel Haus earlier this month. It is always my preference to support a black owned business but when I can support a group of beautiful sistas, I jumped at the opportunity!
First, I just wanna say that I don't know how many black owned businesses there are in Capitol Hill (I'm from Brooklyn, NYC), but I get the feeling that most are not center stage like this practice is. I could see the Capitol building from the front door!!
Once inside, the decor, the smell, the staff...EVERYTHING was great! Juan started me off with a skin analysis using a very fancy machine that told me way more about my skin than I think I wanted to know lol. We even talked about products that I could purchase. What I appreciated most was that I didn't feel pressured to purchase but was provided with really thorough information about what each product did and why it would work well with my skin.
Afterwards, Sonya called me in to her treatment room and I had my very first chemical peel. I must admit, I was NERVOUS! Sweating bullets, honestly lol, but I really credit Sonya for taking the time to walk me through each and every step of the process as well as what to expect in the days to follow. She answered all my questions with patience and understanding and I never once felt judged or silly. This is especially important to me as I have had the unfortunate experience of working with those of us who left me feeling intimidated, insecure, and inferior. This was the total opposite of that!
I'm really happy to have had the privilege of experiencing Peel Haus during my visit. It's weeks later and my skin is still radiant and I am
IN LOVE with the results I'm seeing from the products I purchased. I know it's impractical to say that Peel Haus will exclusively be my go to for my skin care as we are separated by many states. Ours will have to be a long distance relationship, but I am so happy to have them in my Rolodex and can't wait to share them with all my friends and family! read more
