Come here if

- You'd like to learn what your skin needs at home
- You want a facial and a body massage from one salon
Maybe not if
- You'd rather walk in without an appointment
What people say
Sensitive, reactive skin
People with rosacea, dermatitis or long-running hormonal acne arrive after doctors and creams haven't helped, and the facial is set to what their skin can take.
If you'd rather skip extractions, the beautician explains what they would clear and lets you decide how far she goes.
They explain what they are doing
Each cream and mask gets a word of explanation as it goes on, and you leave knowing what to use at home for your skin type.
Regulars who stayed
Some clients first booked a facial here back in the nineties, and they keep sending their sisters and schoolmates along.
The small extras
The massage beds are heated, and a cup of hot orange and ginger tea is brought out once you're done.
Mention the room feels cold and the masseuse will lay an extra blanket over you.
