The service I receive from Amanda for all my facial care, make up and waxing is amazing. She is very knowledgeable about skin care, products, waxing and all the services she provides. She takes the time needed to answer all my questions and educate me on skincare and make up. She not only helps me to have an amazing skin care regimen that has improved the health and look of my skin tremendously, but helps me to find the right skin care products for my teenage son and daughter. She has a beautiful heart and the experience she provides when I go for self care is wonderful. I especially appreciate the time she invests in providing "clean" products, which she is always happy to get for me when I run out (which feels like constantly between me and my teenagers :). read more

Amanda has been able to provide excellent service despite a pandemic keeping her clients safe throughout the process. Our most recent recent service was a day of pampering by myself and three daughters. It took some shuffling to ensure distance, but everyone was relaxed and it went really well. Everyone involved got a facial. Amanda is extremely knowledgeable and was able to give each person specific advice based on their skin and conditions. Each of the girls developed trust in her to the point of allowing extractions! She is kind, sweet yet straightforward with her clients which is always a necessity when it comes to beauty. I have been going to her for years and now she has three more clients. read more

Amanda is amazing! We've had her do our family's wedding make-up (air brush) for several weddings and we've never been disappointed!
