Detailed review: I read a lot of great things about this clinic on Reddit and booked an appointment. I needed a facial with deep pore extractions as I hadn’t been to a professional in over 2 (!!) years and my pores accumulated a lot of gunk. I arrived 10 minutes late, but Hannah was kind to fit me in. I loved that she took her time to address all of my concerns. I also love that she doesn’t sell any skincare products, so her advice on aftercare felt honest. I ended up paying $150 for the facial and $80 for microdermabrasion - which Hannah recommended for my skin type (without being pushy). After the treatment, I was offered 15 minutes on a massage chair, which was a great touch. The downtime for me was about 4-5 days. During that period, I skipped on my actives and applied Neosporin and a thick moisturizer, followed by Vaseline to recover. You have to use SPF at daytime as well! For menstruating ladies: extractions do hurt, especially if you have a lot of impurities. It’s better to plan your visit accordingly because skin can be more sensitive during that time. Overall, an incredible experience for the price! Hannah has a very calm and kind energy. Thank you! I’ll definitely be back in six months.❤️

I have been going here for more than two years and each time has been very good! Hannah always gets everything out and my skin looks so much better each time. When I started going here, my acne was bad but after going here my skin has improved a lot. I have gotten both face and back extractions and they are done very well each time. I come here around once a month and only trust Hannah with my acne extractions! Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a good and thorough extractions! My skin has been so much better since coming here!

I have been a loyal customer here for over a year, which makes this experience especially upsetting. During my most recent facial with extractions, I briefly checked my phone afterward and noticed what looked like a remaining extraction spot. I politely asked Hannah about it. Her reaction was immediately defensive and condescending — she rolled her eyes and told me she had already cleaned everything, that she trusted her own work, and that if I didn’t trust her, I could go to another esthetician. She even said that she might not be able to continue serving me in the future, simply because I asked a reasonable question. I stayed quiet and did not escalate the situation. Later, Hannah apologized and explained she had lost her temper due to menopause. While I understand personal challenges, they are not an excuse for unprofessional, dismissive, or intimidating behavior toward clients. As someone working in the service industry, Hannah’s attitude made me feel very uncomfortable, disrespected, and unwelcome. This experience completely broke my trust.
