I found Mandy originally through Yelp. After a thorough review of other area esthetician's, I…read morebooked an appointment. 3 years later, she's the only esthetician I see. Mandy is professional and so knowledgeable. Every session I've had I learn something new about my skin, taking care of it, etc. Her studio space is so calm and inviting. The services I've done with Mandy have all been customized to my skin- it's never steps 1-3 like facials I've had in the past regardless of skin concerns or types. She evaluates your skin and goals from the get go to inform the overall experience. Mandy has also helped me get into a regular routine with my home skin care. I didn't know where to start and she did an incredible job of helping me select the most important places to start, even if they weren't the products she carries. I felt she truly appreciated different price points and helped me not feel overwhelmed. Lastly, she's just a good person. I have felt so safe during COVID with her services and protocols. Knowing she's protecting herself allows me to feel more relaxed as well. I also love supporting a local, woman owned business on top of it all.

I've been a client of Mandy's since 2016 and I am SO fortunate I found her. Mandy is the real deal…read moreand has become a good friend over the years. She has truly TRANSFORMED my skin and because of her, I was able to get my confidence back. Initially, when I came to her, I had the WORST breakout of my life. Cystic, blackhead, whitehead, you name it (pictured below). I had it all. The breakout lasted over a several month period before I saw her (approx. 3 months or more) and showed no signs of stopping, just getting worse. At the time, I was a sophomore in college and this gave me extreme social anxiety and insecurity as I was worried that people were constantly looking at my acne and not my face. Looks definitely don't mean everything to me, but I was tired of other people being so distracted by my face that they were treating differently. It was a very challenging time for me, but luckily my mom found this exact Yelp page when she was doing research and so we agreed to try her out. I was at the end of my rope -- so ready to give up and just accept the infected, acne-ridden skin I had. I didn't think it was possible to change it. I originally didn't have high expectations when I first saw her and I thought that this was going to be a dud, like all of my other efforts had been to fix my skin. Prior to Mandy, I had a dermatologist, had been on at least 3 different acne medications, including Acutane (many of which actually made me physically sick or ill -- almost hospitalized) as well as having tried so many face washes and masks that I truly thought that I was maybe cursed with acne for life. Since day one, Mandy has been kind, compassionate and extremely helpful when assisting me with my skin. I go see her anytime I possibly can to get my skin treated or when I have a question about a new product or skin regimen. I trust her 110% and she has more than delivered, over and over again. She treats all of her clients with the utmost professionalism and care, as well as personalizes her care to YOUR specific skin. Over the summer in college, when I went back to California, Mandy also did research for me and temporarily referred me to an acne specialist she trusted. In the meantime before I got back, they helped me. I have never gone back to anyone else about my skin -- not even a dermatologist -- because I have never needed to. Mandy knows her stuff and I have been able to fix my acne problem just with her. My face is living proof that what she does works. It might as well be magic to me, because I couldn't have done it by myself. All of the time and investment I've spent on my skin with her has been totally worth it and I would do it again if I ever needed to. Today, I still have acne trouble, but that is mostly due to hormones. Either way, Mandy has been there by my side to help me figure it out and make it manageable. Soon, I'm going to be working on clearing up my acne scars with her and I can't wait. Thank you Mandy, for all you have done for me and so many others!! You are not only changing skin but changing lives.

I booked a hot stone massage with Stephen, and from start to finish, I felt completely relaxed and celebrated. From the moment I arrived, the little birthday touches made my day extra special. A birthday message and card in my locker, and even a note waiting for me in the relaxation area. Those thoughtful details really go a long way. The mimosa before my massage was the perfect touch to help me unwind, and the massage itself was one of the best I've ever had. It was my first hot stone massage, and it definitely won't be my last. I'm already looking forward to coming back and if you visit for your birthday, make sure to let them know. They'll make you feel truly celebrated

The relaxation room was cute, but I imagine that it would have been a different vibe if more people were in it. It set the tone for the evening. I was happy to see that they offered hot tea in addition to water and champagne. I got the 50 minute fire and ice facial. It was so relaxing and included a shoulder massage. I loved the cooling effect of the ice portion. It really calmed my skin. Melissa, my esthetician was personable and knowledgeable. She created a relaxing experience. The only issue I had was a misunderstanding about the tip at the front desk. My friend wanted to pay it, but it was charged to my card.

I was approached while walking in the French Quarter and brought into the store for what became a very long skincare demonstration. Several products were applied to my face, including a warming mask and the Black Truffle Instant Repair Syringe under my eyes. The eye product did create a noticeable temporary tightening effect, which made the demonstration very convincing. I repeatedly indicated that I was not planning to buy anything, but the sales presentation continued. I was shown the Black Truffle Instant Repair Syringe with a stated retail price of $1,250 and eventually purchased an unopened one for $250. The sales pressure then escalated considerably. I was shown a skincare/light device initially priced at approximately $7,000. After I declined, the price was repeatedly reduced until it reached approximately $1,700, and a two-year payment plan was discussed in an attempt to persuade me to purchase it. I ultimately refused and left without buying the device. After the demonstration, I experienced significant irritation under my eyes from the tester product. Because of that reaction, I decided not to use the syringe I purchased. The product remains completely unopened, unused, and in its original packaging. My receipt states that exchanges are allowed within 14 days. Since I had already left New Orleans, I contacted the store by email within that exchange period and requested instructions for exchanging the unopened product by mail. I used the email address provided by the business for exchange requests. I received no response. I followed up again and still received no response. What concerns me most is not simply that I regret an expensive purchase. It is the combination of the prolonged high-pressure sales process, dramatic price reductions, financing attempts, the irritation I experienced from the tester, and then the complete lack of response when I tried to use the exchange policy printed on my receipt. My advice to anyone visiting this store is to research the products and prices before buying anything, do not make a decision because of a dramatic in-store demonstration or rapidly decreasing "special" price, and carefully read the return and exchange policy before paying.

Danielle, the owner, is an extremely talented esthetician who is friendly, welcoming, and has a magical touch. I love this place so much that every time I've visited New Orleans since moving away, booking a facial with Danielle is the first thing I do after purchasing my flights. The business itself is located on Freret where parking is ample on the main or side streets during most hours. The business is clean, with refreshments offered immediately upon walking in. Personally, I have only received facials but I know from first hand testimony by friends that their massages are just as incredible. The facials are accompanied by a full suite of Yonka products which are deliciously fragrant but gentle on the skin. Danielle is great at finding the perfect combination to make your skin looking the best it ever has by the time your treatment is over. I love this place so much I hand out business cards to anyone who compliments my skin when I'm in town. You absolutely will not regret giving this place a try.

He explained how things would flow during my time there. He guided me to the sauna room first and explained how to enter the sauna capsule. I was given space and time to undress and enter the capsule. He knocked and entered the room as he stated he would just to make sure that I was correctly in the capsule. I was not lol. So I'm glad he came in to correct. The sauna was at 99 degrees I believe an it got toasty quick. There is a clock on the wall that you can see. About halfway through, I got too hot (I'm not a regular sauna user so this may be a newbie thing) so I removed myself from the capsule to cool off a bit. I later got back in with about 10 min left on the clock. The timer went off and I grabbed my things and walked out to lobby area to go to the float room. Once in the float room, he explained that the pod would fill with water and that the lights would go out. In the room is a floatation pillow for your head to use if you prefer. There's also a shower in the room for after your float. They also provide ear plugs and Vaseline to apply if you've got any nicks and scratches to avoid irritation from the salt water. The actual float was nice. The pod stays open the whole time and there's ambient music playing in the beginning to relax you. The total darkness was fine for me but may be difficult for others. I floated on my back initially and kind of just let the water carry me. I switched to a stomach float later on, using the flotation pillow under my chin. It was really nice to relax and bounce off the pod walls without feeling the need to course correct. My only concern was the airflow in the float room. I'm not sure if there was any or if it was just warm due to the water in the pod (the water is lukewarm btw). Maybe I was just overthinking. Overall it was a nice relaxing experience!
