Thank you so much for such a glowing review

I am a new client and was very impressed with the whole experience.  I had facial waxing, eyebrows done and a facial.  She managed to treat and repair my sun damaged skin and my skin looks better than it has for years.  The massage was great and I would highly recommend.

So glad you are happy with your treatment
