I recently had an appointment with Emily T and was absolutely blown away by her professionalism and warmth. From the moment I walked in, she made me feel incredibly welcome—her sweet, gentle demeanor instantly put me at ease. Her technique is truly soothing, yet thorough. She took the time to explain every step of the treatment, offering thoughtful and informative guidance about my skin type and post-care routines. I never felt rushed; it was evident she cares deeply about doing the right thing for each client. What stood out most was her balance of kindness and expertise. She answered all my questions with clarity and patience, ensuring I understood why she recommended each product and technique—very much in line with what makes a standout aesthetician good: being educated, informative, an attentive listener, and professional. I wholeheartedly recommend Emily I can’t wait for my next visit!

I just wanted to come on here and say what a very nice facility CSA has. I went in for a facial with Mia, the spa area was soothing, quiet and peaceful. When it came down to the facial, Mia took care of all my skin concerns and helped treat them along with providing phenomenal service. After walking out my skin felt hydrated, smooth and brighter. Thank you so much Mia for making my first time a relaxing yet awesome experience!
