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. Please note: If you have a big event coming up and have never had a facial before, we don’t recommend getting one a day or two before the event. It would be rotten luck if you had a reaction to a product, so get your first facial two to three months before a special occasion, and if you’re considering a peel, come in for a consultation first.
In a word, yes. For oily, breakout-prone skin, we use products that clean and slough off excess oil and dead skin cells. After cleansing and a light scrub, gentle extractions are performed. Following extractions, your aesthetician will choose an appropriate mask for your skin, then tone and moisturize with an oil-free moisturizer. We may also discuss your lifestyle and recommend certain changes to help combat excess oil and acne. If you don’t want to come in for a facial, order a pot of our oil and pimple blasting pads Buzz Off Bumps! We have seen dramatic results with the daily use of these custom exfoliating pads.

Skin ages prematurely due to many factors. Overexposure to the sun, genetics, alcohol, tobacco, and stress can all take a toll on your skin’s elasticity and vibrancy. Menopause and losing testosterone can also affect how your skin behaves and appears. We cannot promise you miracles after your first facial, but we can guarantee results with consistent care and adherence to our recommended routine. To combat the various signs of aging, we recommend a more complex and focused facial.

You can absolutely still get facials. Experienced estheticians know that darker skin types are more prone to scarring and hyper-pigmentation, and at Queen Bee we know our limitations. You can receive gentle extractions, however, we will never force a blackhead out of your skin, and we will always use professional products to prepare and soften the skin before extractions.
