She goes above and beyond every single service whether it's taking extra time to ensure every single hair is gone or removing your ingrowns (which almost no esthetician will do) Silvia NEVER misses. Her salon is beautiful, clean and above all she cares so deeply about her clients. When I'm home visiting my family I will still drive from Orlando up here just to get waxed by Silvia. I cannot say it enough, she is beyond the best in the business. I'm so happy I found her here in Jacksonville and if you're looking for a new esthetician or you're trying waxing for the first time she's the one to see!!

Dear reader, I moved…read morefrom Los Angeles to Jacksonville as a social worker affiliated with a well known veteran's service organization and was in desperate need of self care! I tried several places in Jacksonville (med spas, private businesses, etc) and they didn't provide the same kind of luxury in services as I found in places like Beverly Hills and LA. Luckily, I found Carla and Embrace Your Own Esthetics, which was a game changer! Carla REALLY knows her stuff and is quite knowledgeable; she blew me away actually with how individualized her care was: I have gone to her now for eyelash extensions, facials (including a facial using her amazing, top of the line:high-end machine that has done wonders for my skin) and back facials. (I'm also planning to make an appt for a paraffin treatment and eyebrow wax when soon). The amazing thing about Carla is that she cares. In fact, I am pretty sure she is an angel. She has done many things to accommodate me and I get the sense would do so for you, and anyone that goes to her studio for her services. For example, she scheduled me in early in the morning last minute and late at night a couple times per my request as if it was no big deal and that meant so much to me given my ridiculously busy and rigid work schedule so I could enjoy some self-care! Also, her pricing is the best I have ever seen. She offers specials and when I asked about this out of shock because she is so talented, she was also so kind about this; when I asked about it, she said she wants to be sure people from all socioeconomic backgrounds have the opportunity to feel beautiful and/or engage in self care!! Finally, I started to really trust her and her talents, so I asked her to lead an event as a philanthropist for the veterans service org I mentioned earlier. She agreed and then she changed her entire travel schedule around so she could do it and offered quite a bit of goodies and support for clients who have almost nothing because she really cares. If you are a regular with skincare and keep it up, I truly believe you'll love her and appreciate her talent even if it's a change from your regular provider. On the other hand, if you are new to skincare and self care, I think you will love her and appreciate her services. She caters to individuals specific needs and skin care goals like I have never experienced before with such a pro and and will answer any question and help problem solve any skincare question or issue you may have for best possible outcomes for your skin. That said, although she's so humble, I probed a bit and learned she has also been trained in LA, Japan and just got back from Greece essentially training others because she is so skilled as an esthetician. Lastly, her studio is safe, cute and lovely. I fell asleep a couple of times as she worked on my skin and it was amazing and deeply relaxing. (As an aside, also, a month of seeing her, two colleagues have mentioned how great and glowy my skin looks)! As a social worker, our duty is to look out for members of our community, so I say this without any hesitation: don't wait and do yourself a kindness and book an appt (she has such an easy way of doing it on her website)! You deserve it! I truly believe you will be so pleased with your treatment outcomes, Carla's beautiful studio, her astounding attention to detail, your needs and Carla herself (who is so very thoughtful and attentive). She's been the best esthetician I have EVER been to! My skin looks the best it ever has and so are the eyelashes I get to rock because of her attention to detail and patience.

I like the idea that you didn't have to get a feeling for 4 to 6 weeks or longer. I was told with UV lashes I can shower, swim, shampoo hair. Wash my face immediately. So I did it all on the 1st day with my experience. Unfortunately, I shampoo my hair with peppermint oil. I was doing it in the shower. The peppermint oil began to run down my face into my eyes. So I pretty much begin fleshing my eyes out with clear water. So you can imagine what my UV lashes was going through. That night I only lost one lash next day I lost three lashes. So I said not bad. as time went on. a weeks passed my lashes begin to start falling out.I do believe due to the peppermint oil. In 2 week I call to try another UV lashes without the Peppermint oil, LOL. My new set UV lashes so far It's awesome. 2 weeks passed having lost not one.Wow.love it.
