I will visit her again. Her office was clean and cute. The building is this really nice 1920's type with a grand entrance. She is really nice in person as she is on the phone. Parking was plentiful and she had a parking place for me if I had trouble finding one. She said to call her if I needed help parking. Now that is service! She recommended a breathing exercise. I thought that was very helpful and I have never had that kind of help before, as electrolysis can smart a little as there are a lot of nerve endings in the face. I am sensitive and the breathing helped me. I highly recommend her. Don't miss out on a lovely person and a convenient location and good work. She is a real find!!!! :)

The ambient at her studio is relaxing, definitely a great place for a bit of self care. She offers a well versed set esthetician services. 1000/10 would recommend.

I'm a fan, and when my son is a teen he will be seeing her as well!

Ida, I was one of…read moreyour first patients when you started using the Altus Laser back in 2003.

I scheduled a consultation with Ida, very hopeful after years of looking for an aesthetician…read moreexperienced with brown skin. The consultation room was a bit shabby and the lights were turned down very low, which I found strange. I asked why it was so dark and she said it's like this in all treatment rooms, so we spoke for 20 minutes in extremely low light. As we went over my skin concerns in the dark, I requested a treatment with 3 goals: reducing PIH (post inflammatory hyperpigmentation), clearing congestion, and general nourishment of my skin. Ida suggested using arbutin and kojic acid for the PIH. I asked if these were bleaching agents, because I love my skin color and am not interested in making my face lighter. She assured me that these were gentle and not bleach. But then later Ida referred back to our treatment plan as "bleaching", which obviously alarmed me. I said "bleaching?", and she again reassured me that was not the case. Very strange. She then told me that because I have sensitive skin that I needed to cover my entire face every time I'm in the sun, with a wrap around mask that reveals no skin. I balked at this, expressing reluctance and confusion. I'm from Jamaica where we have equatorial sun exposure and people still have clear complexions. I said I wasn't sure I could commit to that. She just kept insisting that it was the only way to prevent hyperpigmentation. She said that the skin color on my chest (which is lighter than my face) is my "true" color. I always thought that just my un-sun-tanned color. Hmm. After the session, I researched arbutin and kojic acid and read that the latter requires users to avoid the sun or it increases melanin production. So maybe this is why she was saying I would need to hide my face from the sun? I was confused. At that point I decided that I didn't want to use the kojic acid. So I texted Ida saying I didn't want to do the skin lightening treatment but still wanted to get a facial for the other goals (clearing congestion, nourishing my skin etc). She texted back that that was fine. But the next day I received a text from Ida saying that because I was "rejecting" her treatment recommendations that she could no longer work with me. I was changing my mind about skin lightening, not rejecting her advice. I was still looking forward to working with her. This was a strange and disappointing experience. I was really rooting for Ida as a black female small business owner, but I think she needs to work on a few things including misinterpreting a client changing their treatment goal as a rejection of her expertise. If you go to a restaurant and order a meal, then change your mind and ask for a different dish, they don't refuse you service. ‍

I'm in love with NoFu's infrared sauna so much that I have a standing weekly session. It's the…read morehighlight of my week, and something I look forward to. The room is clean, you get to choose from a wide variety of infrared lights, and the temperature is just right, roughly 140 degrees. Susan is so pleasant and even gave me a tip about her Paypal deal so I can enjoy my weekly sessions without breaking the bank. I HIGHLY recommend incorporating infrared sauna in your self-care routine. It's something I was unsure of doing because of the heat, but I've found the heat to be surprisingly enjoyable, like people who like hot yoga. Plus, I've started incorporating breath work during my sauna sessions and it's been a transformative experience.

NOFU ? YES PLEASE !!!…read more WHO‍ KNEW ? I am SO grateful for the opportunity to attend the NoFu Skin Care Studio, 2-3 times a week for a few months now. I mainly go for the Full Spectrum Infrared Sauna treatments but have also experienced Reiki and several skin care products there as well. I am pleased above and beyond my expectations with the benefits I am experiencing from the two therapies and products, I have received from NoFu Skin Care Studio. I feel the benefits on many different levels of my health which is a welcomed surprise. With such a small commitment of routine time each week my complexion has cleared up, my skin is way more hydrated, supple, and glowing, the brown spots on the top of my hands have reduced immensely, my circulation is way better in all of my extremities, I feel great when I leave NoFu and notice that I have a little extra spring in my step that lasts throughout the week... yeah, I feel lighter, happier, and notice that I'm smiling more :) The services and products seem reasonably priced from what I've seen around, especially considering the results I've been experiencing. Sometimes it's been difficult to schedule but I feel empathy towards all people living in the world today and doing the very best they can given their very unique set of complex circumstances, within our shared reality. Sooo when I remain flexible, don't judge, and instead TRUST that it will all work out... it does And usually in an even better way for both of us!!! THANK YOU SUSAN, for all that you are authentically holding and healing in your own life and then show up still, with more to give back in service to your community :)
