From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was calm, welcoming, and beautifully designed. You can immediately tell this spa values professionalism and attention to detail. The staff greeted me with genuine warmth and made sure I felt comfortable every step of the way.

Raquel waxes my eyebrows to perfection which is challenging because I have a scar on my right eyebrow, she is able to keep my eyebrows the same length where as others in the past would just wax it and that brow would be shorter.

I also feel she genuinely cares about my skin and set me up with some samples for me to try to make sure they don’t cause breakouts before I make a purchase....more

I've been going to Raquel for years now and have always received excellent service. I highly recommend!

My skin is sensitive, and I don't entrust many with my skin care needs. Raquel always listens and addresses any concerns, and my skin has never felt or looked better. I've learned so much from her over the years as she educates during every service. Her spa parties are also good for the soul....more
