I made an appointment with Glow after having read so many great reviews. I've never had very good experiences with facials, but I'm happy to report that I was not disappointed.
I was given a friendly greeting by the woman at the front desk. I instantly felt comfortable in this small, but very relaxing and soothing space. I was offered a beverage while I waited, but I didnt have to wait long. My appointment was with Marjorie. She was excellent! I had originally signed up for an acne clearing facial, but once she took a look at my skin, she suggested that I get the double surface exfoliating facial because my skin was so dry. I was very scared about extractions because they're usually painful and make you look awful in the end. She told me that for this first vist, hydration was most important and she ended up performing only a few extractions.
She explained everything she was doing so I always knew what was going on my face and why. Although I tend to think my skin is pretty bad, she made me feel pretty good about it. I left a little red from where she had extracted, but my face has NEVER been so soft. I just want to keep touching it. I still have some clogged pores because this wasn't an extraction focused facial, but my face felt clean and soft and I couldn't be happier with how it came out.
As for products, she did suggest which products would work best for my skin, but she did not try to push them on me. She provided me with samples of everything she used during the facial and even gave me a little booklet with instructions on how and when to use them.
I made an appointement for next month right there and then. It's a little pricey, but its your face! It's worth the investment!
Pros: Nice ambiance, friendly sevice, relaxing
Cons: Can't put tip on credit card
