Amy Atkinson
Founder & Esthetician
A lot of people have had facials. Fewer people have had skin that actually changed because of them. That gap — between a pleasant hour on a table and a real, measurable shift in your skin — comes down to two things: time and customization. Most facials don't have enough of either.
Why Our Standard Facial Starts at 90 Minutes
Our customized facials start at 90 minutes. That's not a premium upsell — that's the baseline, and it's intentional. Skin that needs real work can't be assessed, treated, and cared for in 50 minutes. It just can't. The time isn't padding. It's the consultation, the careful read of your skin on that specific day, the treatment itself, and the homecare conversation at the end. Cut any of those short and you're not doing a customized facial — you're doing a spa facial with nicer products.
What Happens at Every Single Visit
Every appointment — not just your first — starts with a check-in. What's changed since we last saw you? New stress, new medication, a season change, a product you started using, sleep patterns, diet shifts? All of it shows up on your skin, and all of it matters. We're not working from memory of who you were six months ago. We're looking at who you are today and adjusting the treatment accordingly.
We also introduce products and actives slowly and deliberately — addressing your concerns in the right order, not all at once. Skin responds better when you work with it methodically. Layering too much too fast is one of the most common reasons people plateau or get stuck — and one of the most common things we see from clients who've been self-managing.
The Relationship Is the Treatment
Here's what most spa facials — and even many places that offer premium treatments like Hydrafacial — don't provide: continuity. You can get a technically competent facial in a lot of places. What you can't get everywhere is an esthetician who has seen your skin through a full year of seasons, knows how it responds to stress, knows what you've tried and why it did or didn't work, and is actively adjusting your plan based on that history. That's not a service. That's a relationship. And that relationship is what transforms skin over time.
The Treatments Themselves
the modalities we use are professionally established and backed by published research — Hydrafacial with lymphatic drainage included, medical-grade Lightwave LED, microcurrent therapy, and customized treatment layers selected for your skin on that day. The tools matter. But they matter most when they're being guided by someone who actually knows your skin.
