Posted on by

Happy Fall! We hope you are enjoying the change of seasons and perhaps getting back into some nice routines.

CHEMICAL PEEL SERIES – now is a great time of the year to try a chemical peel or a series! This treatment will encourage your skin to repair itself revealing healthier, younger looking skin. These treatments have a cumulative impact if done in a series.

10% off if you book a package of 4 peels. Or try one and see the instant results! Applies to both LactoFlora and Micro Retinol Peels.

SUGARING – We now offer sugaring services! We love this option for its gentleness on the skin (less painful than waxing), its ability to grab shorter hairs (less waiting time for regrowth) and its all natural ecofriendly formula. In addition, the results tend to last longer and there’s less redness. We invite you to give it a try, it’s a great alternative to waxing!

HARVEST PARTY – Save the date for our harvest party open house! We will be celebrating the new and existing herbal vendors, offering give aways, discounts, chair massage and more! Bring a friend, sip on elixirs and check out the copper hydrosol still demo as we welcome some new vendors including Botany of Being, Anima Mundi and Sacred Abundance. Thursday, October 24th from 4-7pm. Bring a friend!
