BEST FACIAL EVER!…read more
This review is for a facial, eyebrow wax, and brazilian wax.
Making an appointment was super easy. Alyssa was friendly over the phone and very accommodating to my schedule; I booked an appointment for the following day.
Located in Biltmore Village, in a cool, historic building, above Rezaz Cafe. There is a free parking lot adjacent to the building, so parking was a breeze. The spa is on the second floor in a bright room with a warm, cozy decor; made me feel right at home.
Alyssa is the owner and esthetician. She really knows skin, inside and out. We chatted about what was going on with my skin and agreed on the 75 minute "Clarifying Facial." I've suffered with hormonal /cystic acne since my early teens. Having been under the mag-lamp of many estheticians, I have undergone a variety of facials and experienced all kinds of estheticians - the ones that don't say anything, the ones that chat the whole time, the ones that try to upsell you on products/services throughout, and the ones that just go through the motions without really being present.
Alyssa doesn't fall into any of these categories ; she is super personable and accommodating to ensure that you have a wonderful experience. She read me well, and understood that I wanted a tranquil, relaxing experience - not to chat. Alyssa was focused throughout the duration of the treatment - even tailored the facial to fit my skins needs. When I asked about the products - some smelled so delicious that my mouth watered - she was extremely knowledgable , explaining the ingredients and benefits. Overall: extractions were gentle, yet effective, products smelled incredible, toasty slippers instantly warmed my feet, and the scalp massage was out of this world.
Alyssa is an effective waxer. She thoughtfully shaped and cleaned my bold brows without overwaxing. I was super impressed with her Brazilian technique - quick, clean, and MUCH less painful than other waxes I've endured. Plus, she uses hard wax - major bonus.
When I left, my face was glowing to the point where I didn't even need tinted moisturizer. The next day, my skin was transformed - calm, even, and dewy. Everyone complemented my brows. Brazilian = thumbs up.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED :)
