My skin is very sensitive. I'm worried about having it become irritated or broken out from the treatment.

This would be a great reason to come in.We would start with a complete consultation.I will go over your history of products used, review past irritations and and explain how certain ingredients may have caused these reactions. After working with your skin during a treatment I will supply you with a sample package of home care products that I think will make a positive difference for you.

What will a facial do to improve my skin?

You should notice an immediate improvement as far as softer, more comfortable skin.During the facial treatment, I exfoliate the dead cells that are only supposed to protect your skin but can build up and create dry, tight or peely flakes, especially when the weather gets colder and furnaces are running.

How do I know which facial treatment or products are right for me?

We would decide together after the initial consultation. I suggest the Normalizing Treatment as a good place to start, but I know the other treatments I offer sound very nice, so we'll decide together.

How long do the treatments take?

If this your first visit, I include an additional 30 minutes for consultation and questions, so a Normalizing Treatment that usually takes one hour, would require 1 1/2 hours.

How often do I need to have a facial?

I suggest treatments every 4-6 weeks. I do appreciate the fact that this is an investment and if you are unable to come in so very often, please come when you can.  Four times a year is better than not at all.

What is different about the products that you sell? I am already using a very expensive, high quality line of skin products that are all natural.

All of the products that I use and sell are non-comedogenic. (Definition: Believed to cause comedones, or pore blockages. Use of comedogenic products can contribute to an acne condition.) Many cosmetics and toiletry products make claims of being "oil-free" and in the classic legal sense that is true. The oil-free claim is, however, very misleading in that the oil substitutes are synthetic and are often more harmful than the excess sebum found in the skin that can clog your pores. Click here to get a (printable) list of skin care ingredients to avoid;  I would advise avoiding all ingredients graded 3, 4 or 5 and remember to check all products that would come in contact with vulnerable skin. Besides makeup, consider deodorant, toothpaste, all moisturizers and sunscreens.

Why do I need to call in my order if I would like to receive a discount on my order of 4 or more products?

Currently, our shopping system is not capable of calculating quantity discounts. We're actively working to improve the system.  To take advantage of the discounts, you can email me and I will invoice you.

When can I come to the salon to buy products?

The retail hours for product purchases are: Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays 10am - 6pm, Fridays 10am - 5pm, Saturdays 9am - 1pm and additional times available by appointment.  We are closed on Sundays and Mondays. You are welcome to call me with your order and it will be ready for you when you arrive at the salon.

Do you accept credit cards for products or treatments?

Yes, we accept both Visa and Mastercard.
