I went to VP aesthetics for a facial recently. Here is why I lived VP aesthetics and will 100% go back.
A) the approach Valeriya has isn't cookie cutter, it's personalized. I don't know anything about skincare but at 41 I know I need to do something. So going to a typical spa is daunting as I don't know what facial I need to choose? Hydration? Clarifying? How would I know?! I just know what I want and thankfully, Valeriya knows what I need. So I don't waste my money signing up for a facial that won't give me the results I want. Valeriya takes the time to understand my concerns, walk me through her recommendations, and she sets expectations for results.
B) I work full time and have 2 little kids. Half the reason I don't take time for myself is the travel time necessary to take time for myself. A one hour facial sounds delightful but when I need to drive 30 min each way to get one, i don't have time for that (although the attention I got from Valeriya would be worth it for you folks coming from outside of Erie). Now I have a local place to go conveniently tucked into my neighborhood.
C) the pricing is so reasonable. Did I mention the facial I got was customized? When I have ventured to a traditional spa in the past I felt like they tacked on an additional cost for everything! You sign up for a hydration facial but need a couple extractions? Add $20 here, $20 there. My customized facial address the hydration I needed, the small patch of redness and scales and exfoliating I needed. Seriously, where else do you get that!? Plus, let's be honest, as a 41 year old, I'm gonna need more than just 1 facial to achieve my results and Valeriya has packages! With rising prices of all the things, who doesn't love a deal?
D) this is more of a feel good reason but I love the idea of supporting a locally owned, female owned business. Valeriya's in home aesthetics still offers the relaxation and escape that I'd get from going to a big chain but without the impersonal feel. Her treatment room is warm and inviting.
I'll report back after my next treatment! read more
