    At 31, after years of never really having to deal with acne, my skin exploded. I tried a variety of…read moreproducts and other estheticians before finding Cynthya (Cece) at Skin Lovely. She and the team completely transformed my skin and my self-confidence. Cynthya, patiently created and walked me through a new skin care routine, updating it and changing it when necessary, adding and deleting products to suit my skins needs. I started noticing a difference within a few months and after a year of treatments and my revised skin routine I felt like my skin was finally back to the way it used to be (acne-free, texture-free, bouncy, and glowing). It's now been two years with Cynthya and the Skin by Lovely team and my skin is better than ever. I rarely wear makeup and usually opt for a lightly tinted sunscreen. I can't recommend them enough!! Added (and very important) bonus: They're the kindest group of people who go above and beyond for their patients.

    This was my first-ever microneedling experience, and I couldn't have asked for a better…read moreintroduction! I started with a skin consultation with Christina, and she was absolutely fantastic--incredibly knowledgeable, super sweet, and respectful of my desire to focus on aging naturally and gracefully while still being open to treatments like microneedling. She took the time to explain the process clearly, set realistic expectations, and made sure I felt fully prepared and comfortable before moving forward. The treatment itself was swift and painless, and her guidance around aftercare was spot-on. Recovery has been seamless--I've had zero issues, which speaks volumes about both her expertise and the care she puts into her work. I left feeling, yes, completely numb and looking as if I got a sunburn (totally normal, especially for more fair-skinned patients), but also genuinely excited about the results! And I've been thrilled with what I've seen so far. I absolutely plan to make microneedling a regular part of my routine here and would highly recommend Christina to anyone looking for thoughtful, expert care!

    What a fantastic private spa oasis! This place is truly a hidden gem. I booked the Bungalow…read moreExperience on Groupon which exceeded my expectations. The spa is private; the only people in the entire space are you + the amazing esthetician, Heather. The lobby space is beautiful, green, and inviting. They only use Organic to Green brand products which have very clean ingredients (a huge plus for sensitive skin)! Upon arrival, Heather explained the treatments and we started with body dry brushing + coco oil body treatment. Then, she gave me a scalp scrub + hair mask. This process was probably around 20-25 minutes. Then, I was given one hour total to enjoy the private lounge, infrared sauna (set to 133 degrees F) and steam shower. I spent 25 minutes in the sauna before taking a cold shower using their products, including a lovely body scrub. I also ate a few complementary snacks (mini KIND bars and fruit bars). After that, we concluded with their Signature Facial (~60 minutes) that included steam, aromatherapy, extractions, microdermabrasion, face mask, and much more. All throughout, Heather was very kind and answered all my skincare questions. Would absolutely recommend. I look forward to coming back! Not to mention, the price is really good if you buy the Groupon for the Bungalow Experience. For a total of $160 (Groupon was about $85 with the summer promotion, plus a $75 tip based on the full treatment price), I had 2.5 hours of pure relaxation. I started my day stressed out, and now I feel so much better. TLDR: amazing private spa experience using organic products at a reasonable price! Highly recommend!

    I don't typically write reviews, but I felt this experience warranted one…read more I've actually been to this location before and used to really enjoy it. When my primary aesthetician wasn't available, this was a place I trusted and would come to as a backup. I booked a facial here recently specifically because I had an inflamed pimple on my chin that I was hoping could be treated before an important event. I drove about 40 minutes and paid $150 for the service. The aesthetician was very kind and professional, but the service itself did not meet expectations. There was no steam or warm compress used, the towels were cool, and no meaningful extractions were performed. The only area that seemed to be addressed was some oil around my nose. The primary concern I came in for was not treated or discussed, and I left with the same inflamed lesion I arrived with. I completely understand that not all breakouts are appropriate for extraction, but this was never communicated during the service. I followed up directly and through customer service. While they were responsive, I was told a refund was not possible and was instead offered a discount on a future service or a complimentary 30-minute facial. Unfortunately, that does not address the outcome of the original service. I was also told that an email had been sent to me, which I never received (including checking my spam folder), which added to the frustration. This experience unfortunately changed my perception of a place I used to trust, and I don't see myself returning. Sharing this so others can make an informed decision.

    I honestly don't even know where to begin because five stars doesn't feel like enough. Finding her…read morehas genuinely been one of the best things I've done for my skin. I originally came to her because I had a ton of milia, enlarged pores, and wanted healthier skin overall. I can honestly say my skin has never looked better. I don't break out anymore, my pores are noticeably smaller, and every single time I leave an appointment my skin is glowing. It genuinely looks like I have no pores when I walk out. Her extraction technique is unlike anything I've ever experienced. She's incredibly gentle but so thorough, and somehow I've never been left with scarring or unnecessary irritation. You can tell she's invested so much into her education and has learned techniques from all over the world because her work is on a completely different level. Beyond her talent, she's just an incredible human being. Every appointment feels like catching up with someone who truly cares about you. She gives the best advice, celebrates your wins, encourages your goals, and somehow always knows exactly what you need to hear. As a mom herself, she's also given me so much advice that's helped me through motherhood and pregnancy. I've walked in stressed more times than I can count and always leave feeling lighter, more confident, and with glowing skin. She has become so much more than my aesthetician she's someone I genuinely look forward to seeing every month. If you're thinking about booking with her, do it. She is worth every single penny, and I truly can't imagine trusting anyone else with my skin.

I've watched her journey from struggling with acne to achieving flawless, radiant skin--all thanks to Eti's magic. For myself, I had tried countless spas, facials, and estheticians but was never truly satisfied with the results. That all changed the moment I met Eti. After just two facials with her, my skin transformed in ways I never thought possible. Every visit leaves me in awe--my complexion is glowy, dewy, and more radiant than ever. Honestly, I feel like my skin is even better now than when I was younger, all because of the care and expertise she provides. Her approach is unparalleled. From her techniques to the carefully curated skincare products she uses, every aspect of her practice is tailored to deliver the best possible results. She is worth every single penny. Her space is intimate, beautiful, and serene, offering a luxury, one-on-one experience that surpasses even the most high-end spas. While large spas may offer extra amenities, Eti's personalized care and expertise provide results that speak for themselves. I recommend her to everyone I know--even my husband! I am beyond happy and grateful to be under her care, and I cannot say enough good things about her. If you're looking for truly transformative skincare, Eti is the one.
