I normally don't do a review right after I get home from visiting someplace for the first time, but…read moreI was so impressed with Heidi and I feel so good, I wanted to write a review while my experience is still fresh in my mind.
I love getting facials and I was really surprised to find another facial place in my neighborhood. I read the reviews on Yelp, looked at Heidi's website, and liked the fact that she also does Reiki, so I texted her earlier in the week to see if she had availability today. Luckily she did, so I booked the Retinol Plus Facial, half arm wax, and a Reiki add-on.
She has a pretty extensive facial list - I think there are around 13 different facials listed on her website, so you have a nice choice to to suit your needs. The facial was amazing - my skin looks luminous and I'm actually glowing. I loved everything about the facial, and I normally don't say this, but the massage was my favorite part (I would usually say getting my skin clean of any impurities). Heidi's massage is firm and through - I loved it.
I also loved the Reiki, and I told Heidi I was either going to add more time my next visit, or do a full Reiki session. I don't know what your thoughts are on Reiki, but I have always felt better and just lighter after I have Reiki performed on me. If you are coming in for a facial or another service, I would highly recommend doing an add-on of Reiki. It's only $25 to add on, and completely worth it.
The space is also really comforting, in soothing shades of grey and white. And the memory foam treatment bed is beyond comfortable, you literally just sink into it and melt. You can tell Heidi has a great sense of style and it shows in every nook and cranny. Even the bathroom is adorable. I've been to some places that have "cleaner lines", i.e. a little more modern, but I really like Heidi's space much more. It's how I would decorate, if I had a spot like that.
Heidi also has a nice array of products available (her own line, Yonka and Jan Marini) and she gave me three good size sample products to take home and try. I love when people do that, because you never know how your skin is going to react, so I appreciate samples to try first. She also didn't try to push any products on me, which I appreciate. And lastly, she also has some beautiful jewelry on sale that she has made - a great selection of earrings that I'm going to take a closer look the next time I go back.
Heidi is warm and funny, and makes you feel comfortable immediately. She is one of the best estheticians I have encountered, and I can tell you I have had countless facials in many cities over the past 20 years. Overall, it was an amazing experience and I can't wait to go back.
