i What's included in the Signature Facial?
Every Signature Facial is customized to your skin on the day. It typically includes a double cleanse, exfoliation, microdermabrasion, extractions if your skin needs them, facial massage with lymphatic drainage, a customized mask, and professional serums and finishing creams. Your first visit is $89 (regularly $135) and takes 50–60 minutes.
ii Do I need to do anything before my facial?
No — come as you are, makeup and all. Our only tip: arrive with hair you don't mind getting a little messed up.
iii Can I wear makeup after my facial?
Yes. Your skin will look amazing — plenty of clients book a facial before a wedding, a vacation, or a night out for exactly that reason.
iv Will a facial make me break out?
We've never had a client break out beyond their normal acne cycle — unlike many facial types, which can cause breakouts. Every treatment is customized to what your skin can handle that day, so you can have a facial with acne, rosacea, or sensitive skin.
v Can I have a facial while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Yes to both. While pregnant, the only real consideration is comfort — as long as lying on your back is comfortable, you're welcome. Breastfeeding is no barrier at all.
vi Are extractions and microdermabrasion included?
Both are part of the Signature Facial at no extra charge. Extractions are done gently, and only if your skin needs them.
vii Will you try to sell me products?
No. At your first facial we'll point out ingredients worth knowing about, and after that we only recommend something when we genuinely believe it will help. If what you're already using is working, we'll tell you that too.
viii Do you offer HydraFacial?
We don't. Most people searching for a HydraFacial are after what a good customized facial delivers — deep cleansing, exfoliation, and serious hydration — and the Signature Facial covers that ground, chosen for your skin rather than run from a fixed protocol. If your skin needs something we don't offer, we'll say so.
