My eyes were a little asymmetrical and droopy, and she did a little trick with botox that made them look so much more lifted and even. She also plumped my lips with a little filler and they turned out pouty and natural looking! They did take a little longer to settle than what I'm used to, but the shape is my favorite. Sarah, I will be seeing you every 3-6 months as long as you're in practice! Thank you!

I've been seeing Marian for deep pore cleansing facial and Yumi lash lift and highly recommend! The…read morefacial left me feeling totally renewed and glowing. I suffer from tiny clogged pores which can sometimes leave my T-zone feeling a little rough. Marian used some 'magical' gadgets to vibrate and loosen build up, followed by wonderful masks to unclog pores. She even had time for a deeply restorative facial massage (after some additional manual extractions which she kindly added in). The lash lift was the icing on the cake - she did such an amazing job giving me a really natural but enhanced lash curl. Like extensions but SO much better and more natural looking, but with fabulous length and definition. Marian's space is so inviting and her energy is fantastic for encouraging relaxation and self care. Highly recommend!

My mom has been going here for a while now and she sees KK. She raves about how great KK is and…read morebased on the other reviews, I can see why my mom loves coming to see her monthly. She talked me into coming to get a facial and I had no idea what to expect. It's been years since I had a facial. KK was suppose to do my facial, but wasn't available so CiCi (or spelt CeCe) took care of me instead. Yo! The facial hurt like hell! Had me tearing up, lol. It was painful, but my face felt so nice and clean afterwards! CiCI was very nice and sweet. She was honest and very knowledgeable. She showed me the paper with my ugly pores and gunk, lol. It was disgusting. We even joked around a bit too! I have a lot of tattoos and I mentioned how the facial hurts more than getting a tattoo, lol. But the massage was very comfortable and relaxing. The entire process was overall excellent and I enjoyed it. I caught myself dozing off a few times. Yes, my face was red after but also glowing. CiCi also said that I have some skin tags she can pluck or laser them off next time. She mentioned there is numbing cream which I'll probably need. I heard it's painful, lol. I'm scared. But I'll have to come see CiCi again soon! Thank you! Highly recommend! I can't say how much it was because I don't even know since it was my mom's treat.

Beauty Legend is one of the best establishments -- professional, experienced staff, and incredible…read moreresults. What I love about Beauty Legend is that the staff is amazing -- knowledgeable, evaluating your skin and explaining what is being done and what is recommended. No pushy sales, no pushy products -- just simply caring for your skin and recommending what would work for your skin type! As the facials are solely dependent on your skin type -- the focus caters to the person. For me, my facial started with steam, exfoliating, extraction of black heads and pores, following a neck and head massage. And then, masking and hydration. Products used are hydrating for my skin. I also had other areas that I wanted to focus on my skin and my concerns were addressed and treatments were recommended. The whole treatment and process was incredible -- the extractions did hurt but it was necessary and my skin feels so much cleaner and better. I truly trust KK and Cece and I appreciate their kindness and care when it comes to my skin. Looking forward to my next treatment -- worth the wait and totally worth the drive! Definitely deserves more recognition; small space but filled with lots of wisdom and experience in the beauty industry; love and care for your skin; such a hidden gem!

While it has taken a solid amount of patience and devotion to the prescribed regimen, her skin has been glowing for the past few months and we could not be more pleased. Arlene is the best -- incredibly sweet and easy for my daughter to talk to, she gives excellent advice and educates along the way. She has responded kindly to all of our questions and has clearly put in a lot of thought for tweaking and adjusting my daughter's routine from month to month. She really has been an incredible ally and brought out our girl's inner smile again. We are very grateful and highly recommend working with Arlene!

Luckily their location was not terrible to find, as there was ample street parking. When I walked in, the warm and friendly receptionist greeted and made me feel right at home. Throughout my visit, Shannon shared me with her wealth of knowledge of the various AHAs as well as retinoid products. I love that we were able to geek out on which products to use to achieve brightening effects. She also made some recommendations based on my skin type such as mandelic acid instead of glycolic acid for gentle exfoliation. Without trying to oversell me her products, she suggested that I try over-the-counter Nizoral antifungal wash for possible white-heads that pop up occasionally as well as prescription tretinoin since I had a few hyperpigmented spots that I wanted to fade/brighten. Given it was my first time there, she did allow me to use my credit card to pay but informed me that she only accepted cash or checks to help keep operating costs down. Since my back issues were minor based on her assessment, I did not schedule a return visit. I so very much appreciate her sound and scientifically backed advice (I also follow various certified dermatologists on IG for general aging skin care maintenance); I definitely will be making a visit if future skin issues arrive!

Upon meeting Marina, I was immediately drawn to her personable warm sweet spirit. She made me feel very comfortable. She clearly explained what I needed to do and ensured I was comfortable. She also let me know she would check in with me and if I needed any assistance I could call for her. I actually did need some assistance and when she helped me she was very professional and made sure I was comfortable with the adjustment. My friend went after me. I was feeling great. However, I was in need a nap because my friend and I had stayed up super late the night before so my eyes felt like they had bricks on them. I was sitting on the sofa waiting for my friend nodding badly. Marina noticed and she was so sweet and encouraged me to relax by laying down on the sofa. She even gave me a blanket! That's all I needed to quickly fall asleep. I greatly appreciated that gesture. I can't recommend Marina's colon hydrotherapy service enough. I'm sure you too will appreciate her professionalism and warm caring personality. I wish I lived there so I could put her on a regular rotation and try more of her services. Thanks again Marina for a job well done! I wish you continued success and can't wait to see you again next time I'm in town!
