The treatment room was warm and relaxing. The facial was very thorough and soothing with a shoulder massage at the half-way point. I filled in a prescription card beforehand for my skin's needs but didn't feel this was referred to in much detail. Facial was definitely of a high quality but I would have liked more information on the products and what they were doing/
My complexion was looking a bit dull with lots of blocked pores. I booked a Dermalogica facial with extraction. I've had extraction done at other places where the therapists used their fingers. It was painful, but tolerable. This was excruciating. The therapist repeatedly scraped a metal tool across my face. My eyes were watering. But no pain and no gain, eh? So I suffered through it for the promise of clear skin.
Following the facial, my skin was swollen for 24 hours. I couldn't go into work the next day. By 48 hours, the swelling had gone down, replaced by blotches, cystic acne and peeling dry skin. Here's hoping there are no permanent scars. Never again.
Positive points are friendly staff and cleanliness of the place. Shellac manicure was great, although pedicure lacked that 'pampering' aspect. Not enough work was done on the hard skin and calluses were not touched at all. The facial was adequate, although nothing special. Therapist was very friendly and caring, but unfortunately, my skin did not react very well to the extractions and rough cloth used throughout.
Amazing! at last, after a run of average to poor facials, I'm really glad to have found this little gem. The therapist had a confident touch and knew how to tackle some tough extractions. The ambiance was really nice too, very relaxing sea sounds nearly sent me off. I've come away with skin that has clear pores and feels as smooth as a baby's ___. This might have to become a monthly treat. 10/10
