I had an awesome experience and can now happily say " I have a face girl !" . Booking is online and shows you all the diff options and you can easily book within moments. I chose a package but let Niki know to do what she thinks is best. And wow ! I don't know what magical potions she used but my skin looked soo good. She got rid of my dark spots, blackheads , and my skin was so soft and Dewey. In terms of the space it's a small spot in centerdale which is across from the town hall, and has plenty of street parking. When you walk in it is calm lighting and music and it smells so good ! My sheets were warm and cozy. I don't think I've ever been so relaxed. I am assuming if you like quiet you can request it but I am a talker and spent my time chatting with Nikki. She is lovely ! I have been another time since then and got a chocolate facial. Again a great experience ! I highly recommend seven layer skin for all your skin needs.

Well, yes...It is, in fact, a little awkward to have your hoo-ha prone for all the world to see, but...if you are tempted to get that type of thing done, this is the place! The spa itself is very clean and welcoming and the proprietor (I think?), Donna, is just totally comforting and awesome.

I'm hoping that my relationship with Skin Essentials will be a fruitful one! It started off as…read moresuch! After purchasing a recent Groupon for laser hair removal treatments, I went for my first appointment this afternoon. As a newbie to this method, I was a bit nervous and curious about what to expect. I opted to get my underarms done and was assured by the receptionist (and technician!) that it will be completely worth it in the end. Apparently I'll want to wear tank tops all the time once I'm done! The interior of this business is well decorated, comforting, and exudes the quality of a spa. While I waited for my appointment, I sat on a plush red couch, surrounded by the smell of scented candles, and drawn to the Keurig coffees and teas available. My appointment was actually later in the day than I had originally made it for. I was called the day before and informed that a piece needed to be replaced on the laser machine and that they needed to reschedule with me. After much apologizing, I received an appointment later in the day and was told I'd be called in the morning to inform me of the progress of their fix. I received my call today and drove on over. For having had to reschedule, my wait was very quick. She brought me in the treatment room, explained the whole process, gave me a chance to ask any questions I had, and was very attuned to my needs during the entire procedure. I have to say. . . hair follicles certainly do not go out without a fight! I can't say that the procedure was comfortable, but the staff do their best to decrease your discomfort. I was given stress balls to squeeze (which at first reminded me of the "here bite on this so I can chop off your leg" type medicine of the distant past) and had a blast of cold air on my skin during the procedure to take the edge off. The technician did a good job talking to me throughout which also helped distract me from the needle-like pain of the laser. Had I needed her to stop at any time, she was more than willing to do so to give me a break. The actual procedure took less than 15 minutes and I was truly in and out of the office. I was given post care instructions and encouraged to call if I had any further questions or concerns. While I'm not looking forward to the procedure again, I'm definitely looking forward to the results. I'll have to update a long time from now when all six sessions are complete to review the results!

GIVING CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE…read more (Aka: GET A FACIAL @ Viriditas!!) I've been wishing to show & LOAD the love on to Laurie Neronha for being the skin wizard she is, for creating her burgeoning business Viriditas & for GROOMING the competent staff that have embodied her knowledge & are EMULATING her results focused practices. I started seeing Laurie YEARS ago & (in a nutshell) she changed my skin radically. As someone that has struggled w cystic acne, oily AND sensitive skin, hyper pigmentation, frequent breakouts & a skin that tends to clog & develop blackheads (not easy OR pretty) - this woman has helped to create a transformation that I never before thought possible before my time under her care. I TRUST LAURIE & I turn EVERYONE who mentions facials or skincare her way b/c she is a blend of MANY disciplines & doesn't discriminate against any particular approach - she just does what WORKS. So I love Laurie , but what happens when you can't personally SEE HER?!! You get guided by her expert staff to the esthetician who seems like the best fit for your desired focus/outcome of the session ( me = EXTRACTIONS!!) & get paired w a SKILLFUL, professional, PERSONALLY TRAINED, duplication of the method & mindset of the practitioner who you've ONLY trusted in the past. & so it was for me w Julie on Thursday. She was SO GOOD. & SO LIKE LAURIE. Seamless & well paced transitions throughout our 75 min facial, the vast variety of "what happens next", & ALSO (like Laurie) extracted the HECK out of my skin both w/o doing additional damage (as that biz is COMMON in the industry) NOR pain. Holy heaven. I'm so grateful for having being treated by an expert & receiving a high quality product as a BYPRODUCT of Laurie's approach w skin & her approach w business. Happy lifetime customer here. Thank you for doing such great work yourself Laurie, & for helping others to do great work b/c of your expertise. Thank you thank you thank you.

I would however, recommend the signature facial for beginners. Everyone I encounter now thinks I'm 10 years younger and I have no intentions of correcting them.

I found Self Serenity Wellness Spa in North Providence and booked with Shioban. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and completely comfortable. Shioban took the time to explain the entire experience from start to finish and even prepared me for how my jaw might feel the following day. The entire experience was relaxing, professional, and exactly what I was hoping for. I already booked my next appointment and I'm looking forward to trying some of their other services as well! If you're looking for a clean, welcoming, and relaxing atmosphere with amazing service, this is definitely the place to go! Highly recommend!

I was…read moreable to be consulted over the phone and schedule my first appointment for the very same week. Pricing is upfront and honest. Upon walking into the office and meeting the staff, I immediately felt at ease, which speaks volumes considering how intimate the nature of this procedure is! The staff I've encountered so far are Karen and Lynn and they are responsible for my feeling of comfort here. Both are super kind and accommodating. Karen usually helps me with scheduling and she is a total gem. Lynn has been my technician and going to see her is like going to catch up with an old friend. She's highly skilled and overall amazing at what she does. Also I should note - laser hair removal is virtually painless (and oh-so-quick in terms of session time length!)!!! I would not want to see anyone else except Lynn for these procedures! In addition to laser hair removal, I also purchased a laser tattoo removal treatment package to touch up my current tattoo. While it isn't quite as painless as the laser hair removal, it's tolerable. The machines used for both hair and tattoo lasering have a cooling feature, and Lynn makes your safety and comfort her first priority. She is thorough and quick and fun! Because of Karen and Lynn and the wonderful experience they have created for me, I would highly recommend Skinsational to anyone considering laser hair and tattoo treatments.

In summary: Do not get laser hair removal here! The strip of hair I wanted to keep was lasered and…read moreis not growing back!!! I have two circular bald spots in my "racing strip". They would not give me a refund! The are I really wanted gone had no effect because it was not done thoroughly. Full Experience: I went in January 2023 for laser hair removal. I had my consult with the secretary because the laser tech was in an appointment, I would have rather met the actual tech. I bought a package for the bikini area. At the appointment, I noticed that the tech did not outline the area to be covered. I told the tech I wanted to keep a "racing strip", which I had cut short but did not shave off. The tech told me not to open my legs!? So I sat with knees in bent position and the crease didn't get any laser. She started in a back and forth row pattern on the top left side but then did a brisk pulse down the labia. On the right ride, the tech (Lynn) did not do a "row" pattern and just lasered random spots. Then she hit my racing strip with two pulses and now I have two circular bald spots!!! I'm livid! She didn't pay attention to detail at all. The labia area and crease had zero effect at all. Probably because it was not done thoroughly. Do not go to Skinsational for laser hair removal treatment!

First time at this location. We were able to get in last minute, so grateful for that. You can book…read moreonline, but you can also call as well. Parking in on street, I don't believe you have to pay though. Staff is super nice and welcoming, gave us the run down, provided us with a sandals and a robe. The robe are pretty size inclusive, I only had a little gap, and I'm a 3x. You get a locker and they even have a bathing suit dryer when you're done (pictured) That said, it's a smaller space than the Newport location inside, where the actual pools/saunas are. However, you can still get in and out of the pools with ease because of the railings. There is maybe enough space for two in the plunge pool. Staff came through with some cool eucalyptus towelettes and there is free flavored or non flavored water to drink. The cons for me would be the parking, and the over booking, people were struggling to find places for their robes and cups. Otherwise, this is a great experience for your body and peace of mind, would recommend.

My husband and I checked in and was greeted by a friendly staff member who told us our locker number. Then, another staff member told us what we would find in our locker and about the water journey. The locker room was very clean and spacious. I put on my robe on top of my bathing suit and sandals and headed to the water journey space with my reusable water cup. The water journey space includes: 98° Bodhi Glow Mineral Pool, 104° Bodhi Restore Mineral Pool, eucalyptus steam room, cold plunge, full spectrum infrared sauna, traditional finnish dry sauna, and a relaxation area. The Water Journey is 2 hours and 30 minutes and we spent pretty much the full time in the space. There were probably 14 people total in the space at the same time, but it didn't feel crowded. Also, everyone honored the whisper policy and no one was obnoxiously loud. At one point, the staff came around with cold towels. As our time was almost up, we headed to each of our locker rooms and took a shower. The shower had body soap, shampoo, and conditioner. There was also a bathing suit spinner that dries the water out of the swim suit. The water journey was definitely worth $85.00. I had such a relaxing time and can't wait till next time. Reservations do fill up, so I definitely recommend making your reservation sooner than later.
