I ended up asking about my blackheads and Lina was so helpful, explaining to me why I couldn't get them out myself. I booked an appointment for microdermabrasion and a peel.

She customizes solutions that work specifically for your issues (mine were sensitive skin, firmness, tiny lines, and age spots). She has given me what I would call a beauty roadmap -- a long-term plan that will help me look my best as I age.

Read More On Citysearch mcolantu 10/2/2009 - Skin Essence A Day Spa is a luxuriating healthful experienceI had a deep tissue massage on my first visit. I suffered from chronic back pain for over six years, and after many visits to doctors, and chiropractors, and a final diagnosis of a slip disc and arthritis of the spine, I have finally found the only treatment that has given me any meaningful relief. I am now on my third massage visit, and my second facial.That's how good and pampered I felt.

She will sell you additional services and some products, but most of them are good; I...
