Review content:
Well, I started going here the end of my junior year at college. I resisted going at first because I was picky about the spas I went to get my facials. Anyway, I finally went since I was breaking out with cystic acne and was desperate. My God am I so happy I did. Christal, the owner and esthetician, explained to me about acne, what the common mistakes are, and the process in clearing out active acne.
I had no idea that I had to switch products depending on the season, and that the products I use for my active acne shouldn't be the ones I use when the acne is in remission! Let's just say Christal knows everything there is about acne. And the thing is, I've gone to posh spas in New York, and received their acne treatments for an hour, but it never effectively deals with my face.
Christal's facials last at least 30 min. longer than for what you pay, and if you are a new acne patient with cystic acne, usually the first few facials go an hour over since she gets out every black head, embedded pore, and pimple.
I think that is the main reason why I exclusively go to her for my skin care woes. She's the only one who doesn't care for the "foo foo" facials that promise results but never deliver. In regards to acne, she is result oriented. And come on, when you get an acne facial, it isn't supposed to feel good, you have pimples that need to be poppin'! She wants results, and thus she dedicates more than the time allotted for the facial for you. The amount you pay for an acne facial is definitely lower than other acne facials from other spas, touting results.
Plus....she's a great waxer. I get my eyebrows and Brazilian done there. Afterwards, I got a compliment on the shape of my brows, definitely a first for me.
Plus Plus...they sell Guinot, Epicuren, Jane Iredale, and Jan Marini. Talk about top of the line!
Pros: Best Facial And Massage in Long Beach!! Can Book Online!
Cons: They are very busy and hard to get in sometimes.
