Your first visit includes a thorough consultation where we'll discuss your skin concerns, goals, lifestyle, current skincare routine, and health history. Every facial is customized to your skin's unique needs, so no two treatments are exactly alike.

Please arrive with clean skin if possible and avoid using retinoids, exfoliating acids, or other potentially irritating products for 2–3 days before your appointment unless we've discussed otherwise. If you've recently had Botox, fillers, laser treatments, or chemical peels, please let me know before booking.

Sensitive skin is always welcome. Every treatment is customized to your skin condition, skin barrier health, and comfort level. Your facial will be modified to ensure the safest, most beneficial, and most comfortable experience.

Extractions are performed only when appropriate and beneficial for your skin. They are never forced and may be omitted if your skin barrier is compromised, your skin would benefit from a gentler approach, or if you don't want them.

Healthy skin is a journey, not a one-time treatment. While many clients notice immediate improvements in hydration, glow, and texture, lasting results are achieved through consistency, personalized home care, and regular treatments.

Absolutely. If you'd prefer to relax in silence, simply let me know at the beginning of your appointment. Whether you'd like to chat, ask questions, or simply unwind, your experience is tailored to what feels most restorative for you.

Major credit and debit cards and other payment methods offered through the booking system are accepted. A valid card is required to reserve appointments.

Please provide at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment.Appointments canceled or rescheduled with less than 24 hours' notice will incur a 50% cancellation fee.Clients who do not arrive for a scheduled appointment without notice will be charged 100% of the scheduled service and may be required to prepay future appointments.I understand that unexpected situations and emergencies happen. As a courtesy, the first late cancellation may be waived at my discretion. Future cancellations and no-shows will be handled in accordance with this policy.
