Keyana, who runs the front desk and the phones is lovely. She is professional and so kind. I usually go to Manuel for my facials. He is knowledgeable and very good at what he does. All of the products smell so good and I feel like a million bucks when I leave. I use several of their products and have had great results. This business is a treasure.

This review is long overdue!…read more I started seeing Brittany for facials almost a year ago, and have seen consistent results in the texture and condition of my skin. Over the past year I saw her regularly for hydrofacials and dermaplaning. I recently just did my first biorepeel and was astounded at the results. Even my male coworkers were asking me what I had done to my skin because it had such great results. Also, Brittany has consistently recommended SPF and skincare products that met my concerns and budget, again leaving me with products that I felt actually improved my skin with noticeable results. Brittany is a warm and kind person who I feel like genuinely cares about her clients and their skincare goals. Anyone would be lucky to incorporate visits to her as part of their skincare routine!

Just wanted to update my review because Skin by Brittany is AMAZING!…read more Had myself a much needed massage with @skinbybrittany__ today.  The past few weeks have been extremely stressful, and my body was begging me for a reset!  A little back story... I have always been extra sensitive when it came to physical touch. I could never get a massage because I was too ticklish and the feeling of knots on my body made me cringe! A few years ago,  I booked a massage with @skinbybrittany__ . She knew my situation and let me know that if at any point I started to feel uncomfortable,  we could stop.   She was the most gentle and most professional massage therapist I have ever encountered!   She literally took away my fear of massages (crazy enough, it really was a fear of mine). My body is thanking me right now, after my AMAZING massage with Brittany today.   I'm telling you... book your appointment with her now!  You won't regret it!   She's also responsible for my amazing skin!  She gives the best facials and I am loving my new skin care routine! Thank you so much, @skinbybrittany__

I love Peggy Lee. I just started with her services two months ago, and now I'm a regular.

She's conveniently located and so far I haven't even had a problem parking. I highly recommend.

I like Peggy. She's a nice person. However the cot she uses for some of her treatments is very…read moreuncomfortable. There appears to be a more comfortable bed that she uses but not for every treatment. I came in for a facial with extractions which is one of her more basic treatments. I hurt my ankle climbing onto her small cot because my foot made contact with the heavy metal frame (big bruises on my ankle after impact on metal frame). There's several blankets but no mattress pad on a hard metal frame and the blankets were lumpy and uncomfortable to lay on top. She should put a thick pad on top of the metal cot so people don't get hurt like I did. Be careful if you have to use her small cot or request to use her more professional bed which she has on display next to this uncomfortable and dangerous hard cot. I have never seen anyone use this kind of cheap and unsafe set-up for a facial bed. Sad. The treatment itself was 50 minutes and involved a lot of hot towels, steaming and chemicals. Since I use tretinon which is a prescription strength retinol, my skin is very sensitive. Everything Peggy put on my skin including aloe vera burnt. The experience was unpleasant. Peggy herself was coughing a lot in the beginning of the treatment. The prices have increased a little bit from the website. Peggy gave me the website price after I pointed it out and I tipped her too. Update: I told Peggy that I wanted one particular milia extracted and this morning I noticed that it was not completely gone. Very disappointed, especially after her cot hurt my ankle.

I first discovered Face Value about 13 years ago when a good friend recommended I give it a try…read more 13 years later and I'm still a loyal client. Diane puts tremendous amounts of care into every facial. She is a delightful person, easy to talk to, passionate about her word and warm in her interactions. I am 7 months pregnant and having all kinds of issues of dryness with my skin. I went to Diane last week for a facial. She took a careful look at my skin and sent me home with two samples of moisturizer to try. A week later and I am singing her praises. Not to mention the comments I have been receiving about glowing skin (and I know it's not just the pregnancy)! Twice in the past 13 years I had facials by other people and both times I was disappointed. Once you give Diane a try, you will never want to go anywhere else.

She has been in the industry for years and also enjoys teaching, so she is very knowledgeable! She listened to everything I wanted, which was more of a soft glam and made sure to ask me good questions to gauge what my skin was like on a day-to-day basis. She made the whole process so easy, from the bridal trial to the big day, Aubrie maintained excellent communication with me and was always very thorough. During the bridal trial, she made sure to take note of what worked and what she would do different. I have very oily skin so she made sure to come prepared with products that would last all day outdoors. The day of the wedding, she stayed hyping me up and was so patient and calm as the chaos of the wedding day was beginning to set in. It was an absolutely great experience and look forward to trying out her other services. Thank you for helping me feel beautiful on my wedding day, Aubrie!!!
