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. Services CBD Detox Facial Hydrator Plus Broad Spectrum $125 SPF 30 sunscreen $50 A must have product to protect your face and skin from sun damage. Total $180.13 total Until next time Just me Shawn C.

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.

Love this place of course!!! Been coming to Lien for 2 years now. I never last past a month without…read moremy lashes. Simply the best and natural looking. Lien is the sweetest lady ever and would recommend her business to anyone! Text or call ahead of time to schedule your first appointment. You won't be disappointed :)

My injector was amazing--she really listened to what I wanted and took the time to explain everything to me. I wanted a very youthful, smooth, refreshed look while still looking like myself, and I'm so happy with how everything turned out! You can tell they really care about their clients and take pride in their work. I'm definitely coming back for my next appointment. Highly recommend Botox Sister!

Coming back to NP Rebecca after all these years felt like coming home! She was my girl years ago,…read moreand now that I've moved back to the area, I couldn't be happier to be back in her chair. Rebecca is truly exceptional at what she does. She is incredibly knowledgeable, talented, honest, and has such a natural way of making you feel comfortable and completely confident in her care. There's something so reassuring about being back with someone you already know and trust, and I truly feel like I'm in the absolute best hands. Monica was also amazing, and the receptionist up front was warm, welcoming, and helpful. The entire experience from the moment I walked through the door was wonderful. Felt at home with all three beautiful ladies. After being away for so long, it feels so good to be back. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rebecca and this incredible team to anyone. Five stars isn't enough.

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.
