    Located in Bixby Knolls with on site parking…read more This is my third time having a full facial called CBD Detox Facial Hydrator Plus Broad Spectrum this also includes microdermabrasion and so much more. The room is dimly lit clean and relaxing. Wear something comfortable because you will undress from the waist up lay on a comfortable massage/bed not sure what you call it - laying under warm covers I partially cover my chest with my arms at my side. Depending on what service you choose if you chose my package be prepared to receives skin prep face washing some massaging with creams and potions including micro dermabrasion hot towels scrubbing and a massage on your upper body neck face etc It's very relaxing and calming and the room smells great and I almost fell asleep. Cara is the person who I always book for my session she's professional kind and knowledgeable and knows what she's doing she made me feel very comfortable and answered any questions that I had. My face was sun damaged with slight hyperpigmentation including a few of what I called pimples the before and after of my face is absolutely something to see. I went in with slight sun damage on my skin and left with soft supple skin an even skin tone flawless blemish and hair free afterwards I'm shiny and have to keep the creams on overnight without washing my face. I washed my face the next day and my skin looks amazing I applied a tiny amount of SPF 30 Sunscreen to my face and skin and start my day. I recommend you have a facial they have so many options and variety of services that they offer Cara is who I choose over and over due to her awesome chill and laid back personality. The package I chose cost $125 Please call the staff for a more detailed explanation of my services book a session today your skin deserves it. They also have a variety of products you can purchase to maintain good skin.

    it's been 5 years since my last review for love skin care so i thought it time to update it. i have…read morebeen going to Lien since like 2013 to get lashes done and every time since then the lashes turn out so good. Lien is super accommodating and it is SO easy to make an appointment through text. regarding covid-19, Lien is very clean and the bed thing you lay down on has fresh paper on top, the same kind they use at the doctors office when you sit on the chair. Masks are required and she washes her hands thoroughly before starting. i will say that sometimes there is a little wait from the beginning of your appointment time but it's not an issue for me, but plan accordingly. the biggest thing is that my eyelashes always look amazing and lien is the sweetest lady ever. if you like to talk during your session she is very friendly. if you're like me and you just like to nap during it, she doesn't mind that as well. i love coming to love skin care for my eyelashes, and i have been going back for a while now and will keep going back because the value and the end result are amazing.

    If I could rate this chain a 0 I would. I had a negative experience with this chain years ago, so…read moreI decided to give it another chance almost a year ago. I purchased the membership in September 2025, but I haven't been able to book anything through the app since then. Today, I tried to book a prenatal massage through the app. I selected an available slot, but it said that it was already taken. I thought it was probably an error on the app again, so I decided to book directly to the webpage, which still had the appointment available. I confirmed the booking, but when I got to my appointment, I was pulled aside by the manager. The manager told me that they had double-booked and that it was an error. She said that the only solution was to see if they could squeeze me in at a later time. However, they didn't know or asked if I had other plans (which I did) and plus my time was limited since I had a babysitter watching my toddler. This is unacceptable. I explained to the manager that I had no luck booking anything and that I had already accrued multiple sessions that I couldn't use. In addition, it's very hard to get a hold of someone over the phone. I told her that it was frustrating and unacceptable and they should have at least called me so I wouldn't of driven all the way there, especially since I was pregnant. If you can save your time and money, please do so. This chain focuses on making money, not on treating customers. The manager also said that they wouldn't refund my membership if I canceled it. This is a way to steal customers' money and time. It's very unfortunate that this is how they treat customers. They don't understand that it's our time and money, not theirs. This is definitely a rip-off chain.

    I first started coming here in 2024 thanks to an ad on Groupon, and have become a regular since!…read more This location is located in an area called The Village which is very easy to miss as it's in a small area in off Lakewood Blvd and Carson St.. There's plenty of parking in front of the shops, but can easily fill up during peak hours--plan to come in early so you have ample time to park. Also, there's a 5 minute grace period where if you're late, you may lose your appointment or part of it. There's a variety of services offered from skincare to what they're known for, hair removal via sugaring. All staff are trained and certified for all services they provide and are the sweetest. They make you feel welcome and ensure you're comfortable from checking in to the end of the service. I've been getting a variety of sugaring services from multiple team members, and I've had great experiences with each of them. If you're looking to start your sugaring journey, I highly recommend this place!
