It's been about a year since my last visit to Skn Bar, and this time around the experience did not…read moredisappoint! I've been wanting to get a chemical peel for sometime now, and decided to give it a try here. For those who don't know, a chemical peel facial essentially removes layers of skin to help improve the appearance of wrinkles, acne, scars, uneven skin tone... all things my skin is in need of. A whole skin resurfacing, if you will. I saw Riley, who was a new-to-me aesthetician, and I really enjoyed her! She did a fantastic job of walking me through the entire process of a chemical peel. From the facial procedure itself, so what after steps will look like, and how to care for my skin during all of it. Apparently your skin can tingle and burn to a degree while getting this done, as they are using some stronger acid blends working to enhance the skin clarity. I personally didn't feel much burning sensation at all, but Riley is there with a fan to help cool the process. The peel application didn't take more than 25/30 minutes (which surprised me), but I was in and out. With chemical peels, it's expected that your skin will literally "shed" over the course of a week or so, allowing new skin cell turnover and the smoother skin below to surface. I'm on day four since I had this done and today is the first day I'm really started to see the shedding. Is it cute? No. But is it working? Absolutely. My skin is even purging a bit, which just proves the treatment it working really deep, pulling out crap, dirt, bacteria, etc. I've also already noticed a difference in texture, as it's looking smoother. I'll plan to go back in 4 or 5 weeks for another peel treatment, as recommended to meet my goals of really healing my skin from the acne scarring, poor texture, and hyperpigmentation. For once I'm excited about results!!

I felt welcome and at ease right when I stepped in to her space. I found her spa blue treatment room to be very comfortable and relaxing. I assumed my appt would be about an hour, but she took the first 20-30 min to have a consult to really hear my skin concerns/needs. Once my facial started, I could immediately tell she is on a different level of expertise than any aesthetician I've seen around here. She is SMART, and an individual truly invested in continued learning within her field. She was full of knowledge and offered informative insights into skincare and products for the duration of my treatment. She uses the Face Reality line which is pregnancy safe and highly effective at a very fair price point. My skin felt and looked hydrated and plump after my facial. I cannot wait to go back! One thing I loved is she's no frills when recommending products - so often you feel pressured to buy things or mislead on what products are right for you, but I felt completely confident in her recommendations. The one caveat of this all is that she is very popular so she books out! Get on that calendar now, readers :)!

Pretty recently, they discontinued their laser services very abruptly, I might add. I was told that they would finish me out because I only had two sessions left before they stopped their services completely.

They told me that they would call me back within the week and never did. I have been trying to get someone on the phone from there for over a month. If I could give them 0 stars, I would.

Irena was doing paperwork (?) on the counter with her back to the door and when I walked in and announced myself, she kept her back to me and acknowledged me. But it wasn't a welcome you'd expect from a business. I thought it was weird, since all the reviews said she was friendly and chatty. My first impression was that she was uninviting. She turned around once to tell me to fill out her form, then went back to doing her paperwork. And then there was silence for the next few minutes as I filled out the forms. When I finished, she finally came over, took down my Groupon, and turned into a different person. lol. Just like everyone else said, she was chatty! By the time I left, I felt like I knew her whole family and history. I didn't mind. I'm ok with listening, as long as I'm not asked a lot of questions. She began with the hand paraffin. I've gotten them done before and it's always just a meh for me. I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. I got it since it was included in the Groupon, but I wouldn't buy it otherwise. Then she stepped out while I undressed and got on the massage table. It was heated to a very comfortable temperature. I wish she had provided a towel-robe, but I'm not too shy and she kept me well covered throughout the massage. The massage itself was superb. I had some crazy knots on my back because I haven't gotten a proper massage since covid and she really worked those out. I had mentioned they were problem areas before starting, and she really spent the time to take it taken care of. I was sore for two days afterwards, but in a good way. As she was quite talkative, I did mutter some uh-huh's and lol's and aww's. And asked her a few questions. But I held myself back from asking questions after the first two, because she got excited and answered my questions, but stopped the massage to respond. Oh, and per covid, she kept her mask on through the whole session. I was given the option to keep it on or off. As for the hot cocoa, she didn't offer it until I asked for it. So it's not like she has it ready for you at any time. Not sure whether she remembers that the Groupon includes it. But when I asked for it, she took out her coffee pot and cocoa mix to make me a cup. I was actually just thirsty after the massage, so when I saw that she was going to start making the hot cocoa after I asked for it, I asked her if she just had a bottled water I could drink instead, and she was very happy to give me a bottle. Even offered 2. And said that she could still make the hot cocoa if I wanted it. I was warm and soft and all I really wanted was the water, so that's all I took though. All in all, not your upscale, posh experience, but a great massage with strong hands.
