I have already been so impressed with Amélie since I moved here 1 year ago - the location (right on…read morethe waterfront) and med spa is just SO cute, the knowledge and professionalism of the Aestheticians and injectors, the kindest receptionist... you name it, they have it. Today's Diamond Glow facial with Summer just surpassed any treatment I've ever had the last decade of going to med spas. She inspected my face, neck and decollette before starting- she customized the treatment to my skin needs and added on a facial and light therapy that benefited my sensitive skin. Her precision and amount of pressure during the facial and dermaplaning made this type A girl VERY happy and satisfied. The face massage was everythingggg! I'm walking away feeling so beautiful and knowing more about my skin and the small ways I can continue to keep it healthy and glowing. 1000/10 recommend Amélie

I stayed at the Hotel Indigo next door and popped by Amelie for a complimentary B12 shot before a…read moreholiday party. I was curious because I'd never tried a B12 shot before, and I followed up on the offer card provided at check in. The staff were INCREDIBLY warm, welcoming, and generous. They talked me through the process and what to expect--quick poke, a little more energy and wellbeing. And they were totally true to their word. The stick was painless and today, the day after the party where I drank a little more than I probably should have, I'm feeling great. Amelie's hospitality was fabulous--coffee, tea, fizzy water, and a gift bag, plus super-friendly conversation, lots of personal attention, and a totally professional service. These folks clearly know what they're doing and they were so warm and sweet despite the fact I was just taking them up on a freebie offer. And they wouldn't even accept a tip, because they're a med spa! I'll definitely go back for facials and other services the next time I stay at the hotel. The location is great, too--right along the waterfront, in a neighborhood that's easy for parking and walking, with great cafes and restaurants nearby for a post-spa treat. Highly recommend, ten out of ten.

I recently had my first HydraFacial and I am completely obsessed! I went in with dull, dry, and…read morecongested skin, and honestly wasn't expecting an immediate "wow" factor, but I was so wrong. The results were instant and amazing. My skin was visibly brighter and incredibly soft. There was zero downtime, no redness, just a healthy, dewy glow that lasted for days. The whole experience felt less like a traditional, sometimes painful, facial and more like a high-tech skin reset. The extraction process, using that satisfying vacuum-like wand, was gentle yet incredibly effective--it got all the gunk out of my pores without any discomfort. Seeing all the debris in the "gunk jar" afterward was oddly satisfying and proved just how deep a clean I had received! The final step, infusing my skin with antioxidants and hyaluronic acid, felt so soothing and refreshing. My skin literally drank it up, leaving it plump and deeply hydrated. My pores looked refined, and my foundation has been gliding on effortlessly since the treatment. I highly recommend the HydraFacial to anyone looking for a quick, effective pick-me-up that truly delivers on its promises. It's the perfect pre-event treatment or a wonderful bit of self-care to keep your skin looking its best. I've now had my second Hydra facial about 6 weeks apart. The delux is worth the upgrade and I focused on my eye area. I love that it included a bag filled with samples.

I've reached the age where I've started to see fine lines and other signs of aging, and I decided to put more energy into taking care of my skin and overall health. I started getting facials from Emily every 4-6 weeks. I always see immediate results which are so fun, and I try to see her the day or so before any event I want to look great at. But the really amazing thing is that recently I've been getting compliments on my skin even in the weeks between treatments, and I'm seeing such a huge difference overall. I feel like my skin looks great all the time and I'm so happy! Her space is so relaxing and I look forward to the hour down time and chats. I used to get facials elsewhere and I never saw these kind of results. I'm so grateful! Thank you Emily!

In the one hour I had with her I feel deeply relaxed, and she was able to apply the right pressure, and work on all of troublesome spots without me even directing her! She even massaged my head which was incredible and I've never had that done by a masseuse before. She worked a lot on my feet that have been aching from 12-14 hour days in heels. She used hot stones and warm towels. It was the whole nine yards. I really appreciate her services. I am fortunate she is covered by insurance, but would pay out of pocket because she is worth it. Already looking forward to my next massage.
