I just love Vertex / Veronica. She has an incredible eye for detail and is passionate, professional, and knowledgeable. My current favorite treatment is facial massage. It helps to release tension from my face muscles and helps my skin to rejuvenate.

Oxana is utterly superb and her technique is quite different to a regular facial 🌹 I particularly would like to mention her brilliant buccal massage :) Unfortunately the noise from the Exercise studio where her rooms are located mar the peace necessary for relaxation … but Oxana is brilliant !

Tracy is beyond great in her offering superb facial treatment, and how to improve your look when feeling worked-out, and a bit tired. My facial today was fantastic, and my skin is glowing, and the eyelashes lift was just magic ! WOW. Can not wait for my Microblading treatment for eyebrows next week. Thank you Tracy :)

I was very happy with the whole treatment. I would say though that after a relaxing facial to have my nose black heads squeezed quite painfully took away some of the relaxing experience. Also the facial scrub was way too long and I felt my skin very raw. Being a mature lady, perhaps a little less vigor but otherwise, she was super, friendly, polite and I felt very comfortable with her. I came from Fishhoek so probably won't be visiting again but glad I could.

What a beautiful and quaint gem of a beauty salon hidden in the southern suburbs. My 11 year old daughter felt comfortable and at ease throughout her facial and she is excited for next appointment. Thank you, Mushfieka. May the Almighty continue to bless you and your business ♥️

I enjoyed a fabulous pamper session with Lauren K yesterday. It was blissful from start to end and I walked/floated out of there feeling like a new person! Absolutely loved the back and shoulder massage, facial and luxe pedi. All treatments were super relaxing. The room and massage bed were heated which was perfect on a rainy winter's day. Lauren K took her time with each treatment which I really appreciated. If you need some pampering in your life to feel revived and relaxed, I highly recommend Lauren K at Sublime. Thank you, as always, for your warmth and professionalism. :-)

Facial FAQs
The cost of facials vary according to the type you book and where you book it, however in Cape Town, you're likely to pay anywhere from ZAR 200 to ZAR 1,980.
There are many different types of facial including chemical peels, hydrafacials, lymphatic drainage, microdermabrasion, extractions and LED facials. Some treatments may incorporate different aspects of different facials.
Facials promote blood and lymph circulation beneath your skin’s surface, helping to renew your face’s skin cells, remove toxins, and decrease puffiness, leaving your skin glowing, deeply cleansed and moisturised.
Dermatologists recommend having facials once a month. Skin cells are in a constant state of regeneration because they naturally die and regenerate once every 4 weeks (not all at the same time, of course).
It varies according to the type of facial you’ve booked, but it’s likely to begin with a cleanse and steam, followed by an exfoliation to slough off dead skin cells. If you’ve booked an extraction (to unblock clogged pores) this will come next, followed by a massage to improve circulation and lymphatic drainage, then a mask. Your facial will end with an application of toner and a moisturising serum or cream.
It depends on the salon you go to, but products used will probably include a cleanser, mask, toner, and moisturiser. If you’d like to know the specific products your therapist uses, ask them before you book your appointment.
