I don't like to write negative reviews to locally owned business, but in this case I just wanted to make sure folks knew what to expect.
Purchased Facial on Groupon. I think it was 30 for 60 min Facial.
First off the business is on the 2nd floor, no elevator so if you cant walk up 2 and 1/2 flights upstairs you will want to skip this place. I was 10 min early and since it is a one room operation, i had to stand outside in the sun as there is no seating outside and just a long balcony.
Got started on my facial. Cleaned face (with hands not sponges) then used wash cloth dipped in water to wipe off cleanser. Then over the course of 45 min I had cream wiped on, sat for a bit, cream wiped off,, sat for a bit, mask on, mask off. There is no massage of hands, neck or anything. She leaves the room while you just lay there feeling kind of dumb. The does have a 'reflexology' machine' that she put on my hand but it felt like a blood pressure monitor squeezing so I immediately took it off.
I will have to say this was the strangest facial I have ever had, no steam, no massage, no extractions. She uses all Dermologica products and spends quite a bit of time telling you how benefecial they are. She spends at least 1/2 the time out of the room while you just lay there.
I would not go back even if the facial was free. I just wanted to get off the table as soon as possible and run away from there. Hopefully, she will see this and offer a true facial or at the very least call it a trial to test Dermologica products on your face. read more
