I booked with Emilia for an hour facial… to say the least, I will be back! It was so relaxing, I haven’t had a facial that well performed in a very long time. My skin has been amazing since. She gave me tips on what I can do to take care of my skin at home between facials and It actually has helped me! I loved every minute. Seeing her again next week!

Had a wonderful experience. It was my first time there, as well. Went there for a facial and Emilia did a great job making me feel comfortable while I was there. She also did an excellent job of walking me through the entire process while also answering all of my questions that I had. Cant wait to go back again!
