I have not been for a facial in the city for a long time. While there are many spas to choose from, I had yet to find a place with a practitioner, worthy of my time, money, and skin! I usually go when on vacation now a days. Mostly I want the best care from the esthetician, one who is skilled, and also who has great touch. It is hard to find the whole package. The woman, Caryn who worked with me was very accommodating, used great products, and really knew her stuff!!!! She was down to earth, not at all pushy, or stuck up like some of the sales people, (oops I mean estheticians) which is such a turn off, even when we want to buy needed products.There is a lot of crap out there, and she was a gem. She only talked when necessary, so I could 'relax', and I did. Its hard to wind down, and it takes me a while, with the stresses of life. She did deep cleaning with extractions, and used Vitiman C, with AHA. She also did a little work on my neck, and she felt better than some massage therapists! And I'm very particular, fussy. Awesome results, with less pending irritation on my face. My skin really asorbed all the great ingredients, and she used only what worked. I was really impressed! And I learned a few things. The fitness area I saw was very zen feeling, as far as fitness goes. The cafe had some great healthy creative options, will come back for a meal, or real smoothie. Really good energy, Clay is a temple like said.
