Pure Aesthetics is the best hidden gem of Gainesville. I spent the last decade moving around and…read moretraveling throughout the nation and have had aesthetic treatments at so many med spas and salons that I have lost count. Pure Aesthetics is hands down one of the highest quality experiences you will ever receive. From the moment you walk in the door, there are multiple receptionists who began greeting me by name on only my second visit. The atmosphere immediately calms you when you walk into the lobby, you will feel like you are about to have a massage! They always offer water, champagne, or a collagen drink (even if you are running late to your appointment, like I have unfortunately done more than once!) I can only speak to the services of Kelsey (electrolysis) and Lindsey (Coolsculpting Elite) from personal experience, but I am fully confident in saying that my experience every single appointment over the past few months is indicative of the entire staff. I cannot exclaim my praise for either of these women loudly enough. No matter what area of the body you would like to learn more about treatment for, everyone at Pure Aesthetics has an in-depth knowledge of the services offered and will never pressure you into booking a treatment or purchasing a product whatsoever. I was especially impressed to learn that all staff members that offer treatments must work the front desk for a period of time to learn how the office (and schedule) operates and to interact with the clients. I think this is the greatest idea from a Human Resources perspective (which I happen to have my Bachelor's degree in ) and ensures that any information given over the phone is well-informed, and not simply a reiteration of the menu of services offered which you can read for yourself online. If you are seeking a treatment of an area but are not quite sure if you'd like to go the surgical route, the building is shared with Gaines Plastic Surgery. I cannot personally attest to Dr. Gaines, as I have not had any surgeries at this location, but this is truly an incredible partnership that allows clients to pursue all their aesthetic or cosmetic procedures in one place, with staff they are already comfortable with greeting them and offering a plethora of experience, knowledge, and services along the way. Lastly, I feel it would be remiss not to mention the personal touch and genuine care that the staff has for each and every client. A few months ago, I had a personal emergency which left me without my cell phone, and I ended up "no-call, no-show-ing" two appointments in a row. Instead of blocking me from scheduling further appointments, both Kelsey and Lindsey showed immediate, unwavering care and concern and welcomed me back to my appointments as soon as I was able to make contact again. Of course, I hope such an incident never happens to anyone else, but many Med Spas that I know of would enforce a strict cancellation policy with no questions asked, but not here. When I come here, I know that I'm not only trusting my body with experts and professionals at their specialties, but trusting my overall wellbeing to a team that genuinely wants to see everyone look, feel, and achieve their best. I recommend anyone who is even considering a treatment at Pure Aesthetics to visit the website and at a minimum, get on the email list, as there is a new special each month, and the treatment you're eyeing might be next on the list for a discount! Special or not, my experiences here have been worth every penny!

I am glad to be working with Mika as she is a local business woman and not a big chain company, she also very kind and knowledgeable of the science behind her services. I've been doing the lasering of my legs, armpits, bikini, and stomach for nearly 5 months and I am happy to report that the results are very real! I will also say that the laser is less painful than waxing. There was a period about midway through the laser treatments where I thought it wasn't going to work for me, but now I see that that is totally not true. She also has two little dogs that go everywhere with her!

Mika treats each person more than a customer and genuinely cares about each one of them. She definitely goes above and beyond all the time, don't hesitate to pick her.

The office is spotless and well organized. She does dermaplaning on me- with a surgeons skill! Yes, she scrapes my face with an angled scalpel. It does not hurt at all.

I also use a SkinCeutical Conditioning Solution twice a day which is wonderful. Robina has a small curated selection of skin care available, and is so pleasant to be around. Always in a great mood, so that I really look forward to my visits with her.

Look no further for your relaxation oasis! Spa Royale is my go-to place for when I'm looking to…read moreimpress out-of-town family. Booking online is easy for two people with a variety of service options. Any time there were updates or changes, their front staff problem-solved effectively and always do their best to accommodate. Your lavish experience begins at checkout with a hot, scented towel. Next, you are brought to a delightful, gender separated locker room. The lockers are stocked with a towel, shoes (although I always bring my own slippers), and a silky robe to change into. There is a shower and sauna along with mirrors and vanity to prep yourself for post-relaxation adventures. Spa Royale's relaxation room is expansive. Unwinding officially starts for me when I get to put my feet up in one of their loungers with a hot cup of tea, mixed snacks, and/or flavored water (changes weekly). Their facials are heavenly and their massages are legendary! While the Grand Indulgence is luxurious, I would actually recommend the Himalayan Salt or Deep Tissue. The Grand indulgence and 90-minute facial are similar with the them massaging your arms and feet with body butter followed by warming mitts. The Grand Indulgence also adds an invigorating scalp massage complete with warm oil (Note: your hair has never felt so soft and vivacious... but you may not want to go to a 5-star restaurant dinner after). All their therapists are experts in their craft- a special shoutout goes to David! What I especially appreciate is their privacy and professionalism. They have a couple of dual rooms- which we usually pick. Great for mom/daughters or couples. You will feel comfortable the whole time! Bonus note: a new tradition for us is have lunch at the Cafe first. If you go, be sure to have the chicken quesadilla!! The coffees and smoothies are fabulous too.

Funny story, initially I reached out to Nikki back in 2019 for a lash service but because I still on the fence about wearing lashes on top of having numerous things come up, I kept rescheduling and just ended up canceling altogether. Fast forward to March 2022, here I go again trying to find a consistent new lash girl and I kept coming across Nikki's business on yelp, well after the few people I went to that were no gos, I said let me give her a try; not realizing this is the same girl I wanted to first go to for lashes, just wow look how things come full circle! Not only is she reasonable in price, she is quick (I was expecting 2 hours and she finished 1 hour and 30 mins I believe), I didn't get off the table with my back hurting or neither was I moving (a thing I do when I'm tired) needless to say I left out, HAPPY! I never had an experience like this! I pray that she doesn't leave Gainesville for as long as I live here or continue to get lashes because she's my lash girl now! She's so sweet and kind too! Her lash space is so inviting and calm! I just met her in person and she instantly made me feel comfortable. If your looking for a lash girl, hopefully you can get in with Nikki, she's a hidden gem!
