Facials Before & After

Deep Pore HydraFacial Series

Treatment: HydraFacial (3-Series Package)
Concern: Clogged, congested pores and uneven skin tone


This client came in seeking a deep pore cleansing facial to treat her congested skin. After assessing her skin condition, we recommended a series of three HydraFacial sessions. Following just her first treatment, over 70% of her pores were visibly cleared, and her skin appeared smoother, more radiant, and refined.

"I can't believe how fresh and smooth my face feels already!"

With continued professional care and an at-home regimen tailored to her needs, she is now on the path to achieving an even-toned complexion and smaller, more refined pores.

Anti-Aging Facial

Treatment: Anti-Aging Facial
Concern: Deep lines, Rosacea, & Inflammation



This client came to us with sensitive skin showing signs of aging, including fine lines, rosacea, and chronic inflammation—likely worsened by harsh products and treatments used in the past.


During our thorough consultation, we explained how our anti-aging facial, designed with calming and rejuvenating ingredients, could help soothe  her skin, reduce redness, and promote collagen production. She placed her trust in our approach—and the dramatic results speak for themselves.


She enhanced her treatment with cryotherapy, a customized chemical peel, microneedling, and LED light therapy for maximum rejuvenation and results. Notice that the lines between the brows, the crows feet, and inflammation have greatly decreased.

Microneedling Facial

Treatment: Microneedling Facial (series of 3)
Concern: Rosacea, hyperpigmentation, & fine lines


This client came in seeking a microneedling facial to address concerns with fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and rosacea. After evaluating her skin, we recommended a series of three microneedling treatments for optimal results. Following just her first session, she noticed a visible improvement—her complexion appeared more even-toned, the texture was smoother, and redness from rosacea was noticeably reduced.

This facial was tailored to target her unique skin concerns and help her achieve her skincare goals by adding a couple of our facial enrichments.

Before & After Nails

Acrylic Full Set with Tips – Nail Rescue

Treatment: Full Set Acrylic Nails with Tips
Concern: Severely damaged, painful nails from previous salons, and skin picking

This client came to us with severely compromised nails after multiple visits to salons that used harsh, improper techniques—such as ripping off enhancements and excessive filing. Her nails were fragile, prone to splitting, and had even caused her discomfort from repeated trauma.


During our consultation, we discussed how our gentle application method—focused on preserving the natural nail—could help restore strength and comfort. By using careful encapsulation and avoiding aggressive prep, we gave her nails the protection they desperately needed. She put her trust in our expertise, and the transformation speaks volumes.

Her new full set of acrylic nails is not only natural-looking and comfortable—but also completely pain-free. Beyond aesthetics, the added strength and length have helped her break the habit of skin picking, giving her hands a chance to heal.

Ongoing Acrylic Nail Restoration Journey

Treatment: Custom Acrylic Overlay  with Tips
Concern: Lifting, bleeding, brittle nails from years of over-filing and trauma



After years of harsh treatments, this client came to us in urgent need of nail rehabilitation. Although we didn’t capture the full “before” set, the remaining damage was extensive. With gentle filing, nail plate repair, and custom encapsulated acrylic application, we were able to restore strength and create a brand new look.

 "They feel nothing like before—no more lifting, no more pain. I finally love my nails again!"

We also discussed proper nail care routines, how to avoid damage, and how consistent rebalancing every 2-3 weeks will continue her path to healing. Her nails now look beautiful—and feel even better.

Builder Gel Set with Tips – Nail Rescue

Treatment: Full Set Builder Gel with Tips
Concern: Severely damaged, painful nails from previous salons



This client arrived with sensitive, damaged nails from harsh techniques used at previous nail salons—including forced removal and aggressive over-filing. She shared how her nails often lifted, broke, and sometimes bled from improper handling.


After a detailed consultation, we explained how gentle builder gel techniques and proper nail bed encapsulation can protect the nail plate and support healing. She trusted our process—and the results speak for themselves.

"These are the first nails I've had in a long time that don’t hurt. And they’re beautiful!"

Her new builder gel full set is natural-looking, comfortable, and completely pain-free. More importantly, she now understands the importance of nail health, maintenance, and choosing a licensed professional who prioritizes her well-being.
