I had the signature facial with Christina, and it was a wonderful experience. I was so impressed by the attention to detail. Yes, the facial is excellent-excellent. The products were non-abrasive, fragrant and never ending. I have never had someone pay so much attention to my skin. But that is only the beginning. She also gave me a soothing arm and hand massage combined with hand warmers. This was especially nice because it helped my carpal tunnel. She also massaged my neck AND scalp. It was gentle enough to be calming and firm enough to be effective. She has an special bed just for facials that I have never experienced anywhere else. It was what I imagine a Kraft-matic would be like. I have lower back problems, and sometimes lying down for long periods of time on my back is painful, but this best was incredibly comfortable, and I felt no pain. She gave me some samples to take home and try as well. I bought a product from her-a moisturizing gel, and I am very happy with it. I would recommend this service to anyone, and I will be back again. I have frequented some of the most expensive salons in Rochester and none of them compared to my experience at Skintopia. read more

i have the good fortune of being a massage client of CORA of SKINTOPIA CORAs knowledge is as big as her interest in your total well-being! i have searched this city far & wide for many years & CORA is by far the most experienced, most professional, most capable massage therapist i have encountered! even in all of my worldly travel - CORA is it! i actually no longer book massage when i travel as i am confident any money spent will not even compare to the utmost superior massage knowledge & techniques of CORA. i have been CORAs client since 2004. i made this move to SKINTOPIA w her in a few years ago & i couldnt be happier with my choice to follow her to SKINTOPIA! they are as sweet as CORA! earlier this year i became very ill with a SI joint issue. CORAs expertise gently helped me through terrible discomfort. CORAs dedication to her clients well being is unsurpassed. when CORA is not teaching at the onondaga school of therapeutic massage in rochester , you can find her at SKINTOPIA!! dont miss out!! read more

What began as an absolutely AMAZING experience at Skintopia has turned into a wonderful friendship between Christina and myself. I started going to Christina for eyebrow waxing when she first opened Skintopia and now refuse to go anywhere else. I strongly urge you to treat yourself to one of her many facials, they are like a gift from another world. Her professional knowledge of what works best for your skin is complimented by her warm and friendly demeanor. From the moment you walk through the door the entire atmosphere emits serenity; calming music, a comfortable lounge area and clean smells will warm your soul and commence your relaxation experience. Be sure to get there prior to your appointment in order to take advantage of these calming amenities! Becky M. read more

I visited Skintopia to see Michelle about a facial and had the best experience. Overall, the Skintopia staff was kind and respectful at every interaction. The shop itself is incredibly relaxing from the moment you step in the door. Each person does everything they can do get you into a peaceful and relaxed state of mind. Michelle was no exception; she gave me the best facial I've had in a very long time. She was attentive to what I wanted from the facial and was very thorough at each step. I left feeling refreshed and glowing. In the days that have followed, my skin has continued to glow and remain soft, bright, and fresh. I would recommend Michelle to any of my friends and will surely be returning very soon. read more

I travel to rochester often for family events--and almost always make a visit to skintopia. Juli is fabulous. She is sweet, smart, and asks the right questions to find out exactly what your needs are to give you the right treatment for your skin. Every treatment I've had left me relaxed and pleased with the outcome. I have also become addicted to the dermalogica products that she recommended for my skin. Best products ever. My skin has been so healty with the new regimen. Juli is also a master of the sculpted eyebrow. I love my brows. And terrific with make-up! She has done my make up several times for special events and each time I have gotten complements. Highly recommend her services!!! read more

I can only rave about this place. Christina is a pro at what she does. My friend and I signed up to get bikini waxes together, both of us pretty new to the experience, and we won't go anywhere else. As you can imagine, we were nervous, but Christina knows how to engage you in conversation so that you don't focus on your discomfort. By our second wax, it was significantly less painful and she greeted us like old friends. In terms of presentation, this place also gets five stars. It's homey and classy, there is complimentary tea and coffee, and a comfortable sitting area. I'd recommend booking in advance because Christina books up fast! No surprise there... :) read more

I had my first Brazilian wax at Skintopia a few weeks ago, and I never expected it to go so smoothly (no pun intended). Skintopia is very clean and comfortable, and I felt at ease right away. I had scheduled my appointment with Juli, and it was quick, easy, and very professional. No need to feel anything but happiness, knowing you'll be leaving with smooth skin. Great service and definitely recommended for anyone! read more

Juli did such a good job on my eyebrows. For a long time I tried countless places, hoping that they would shape them up nicely, yet I couldn't find one until my friend referred me to Skintopia. I really trust Juli and she does a fantastic job. Also, she did my prom makeup where she made an anxious time a really fun and exciting occasion. I would absolutely recommend Skintopia! read more

I have been a client of Christina's for a long time (lost track of the years!). When I worked in NYC I went to the big name, high end salons for facials (Klinger, etc) and Christina has them beat. She is a consummate professional and delivers the best, customized service that I have come across. And to think I had to move to Rochester for the best facials! Colleen read more

we haven't been to a good stylist or salon. After researching a few salons, we decided on Michelle's. It is a very relaxing, clean salon with an open concept that puts you in the moment--no awkward zoning out on the other side of the wall! Michelle is professional, efficient and calming. read more
