We recommend our BeeSpoke Custom Facial. During this personalized facial, a Queen Bee Facialist will ascertain what your needs are and create a customized treatment.
In a word, yes. We select products designed specifically for more acne and oily prone skin. After this initial first facial with us, we might recommend one of our pro peels with LED. Choose the BeeSpoke Facial if you have acne prone skin, we can customize it as needed.
As I age, my skin is getting more dry, more sensitive, and fine lines are more visible. What facial should I choose?
As we age our hormones help dictate what our skin looks like, but so do environmental factors. Those sun loving days catch up with us, so do other vices like alcohol and tobacco. Stress and poor diet also factor into what our skin looks like. Fortunately when we reach this time in our lives, there is so much information online and professionals to help. We would suggest selecting one of our Pro Peels from our facial menu. Your facialist will choose one that is right for you and with our packages and memberships, you should be able to find something that suits you.
Hormonal changes combined with a poor diet, stress, lack of sleep and other environmental factors can wreak havoc on adolescent skin. Lifestyle changes can go a long way to improve the skin, especially alongside regular facials. Before you consider antibiotics or prescription acne drugs, come in and let us look and see if we can help. It might also be worthwhile talking with a registered nutritionist about your teens skin and how diet might be encouraging breakouts. Select our BeeSpoke Facial for your teen.
Absolutely. We provide a safe environment for our pregnant and nursing mothers. Beds are bolstered, and you’ll be propped in a very comfortable position for the duration of your facial. Chemical-free products are used at all times to ensure the safety of all of our clients. Please make sure you let the staff know you are pregnant at the time of making an appointment and congratulations!
