Signature Facial
This personalized facial treatment addresses individual skin concerns through a multi-step process. Starting with a scalp massage, it includes deep pore cleansing, exfoliation, targeted extractions, and a therapeutic mask. The treatment concludes with a serum application designed to correct specific skin issues. Clients receive customized care that leaves skin clean, smooth, and glowing while addressing concerns like aging, acne, or sensitivity.
Brazilian Waxing
Our Brazilian waxing service removes all hair from the bikini area using specialized techniques that minimize discomfort. The process includes pre-wax skin preparation, precise application of sensitive-formula wax, and post-wax soothing treatments. Our experienced estheticians ensure thorough hair removal while maintaining skin health, with results lasting significantly longer than standard waxing methods.
Herbology Treatment
This dual-action exfoliating facial combines enzymatic action with ancient herbal grains. The treatment begins with enzymatic exfoliation, followed by manual polishing with herbal grains that release natural AHAs. The process improves skin texture, reduces fine lines, and enhances radiance through three corrective activity tiers. The treatment adapts to different skin types and concerns while maintaining a gentle approach for sensitive skin.
CBD Massage
This therapeutic massage incorporates CBD-infused products to address chronic muscle pain and inflammation. The treatment combines deep tissue techniques with CBD's healing properties to relax the nervous system and improve circulation. Sessions include targeted pressure point work and customized intensity levels, making it ideal for post-injury recovery or general muscle tension relief.
Chemical Peel
Our chemical peel treatments use acid-hybrid formulas to address various skin concerns. The process removes dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and stimulates collagen production through microscopic exfoliation. Available in different strengths, these peels improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and enhance radiance without significant downtime. The treatment includes post-care recommendations for optimal results.
