Some back ground information may be required before starting on the Facial. The questionnaire we ask the guest to fill out explains that the root of Aveda’s holistic spa philosophy, Elemental Nature, is based on the five elements found in nature (and within each of us): Infinity, Air, Fire, Water and Earth. Before each service, we ask our guests to complete the Aveda Elemental Nature Questionnaire which allows our estheticians to create personalized treatments and self-care rituals based on your Elemental Nature, to bring you back into balance.

Radiant Skin
A natural approach to complexion care, customized for all natures, and features special professional-only products based on tourmaline, a naturally energizing mineral. This rejuvenating service encourages the skin’s own natural process through refined products and a high-touch treatment approach, to leave skin with visible improvement and radiance. For optimum results, a series of four treatments with a personalized home care system (which can be purchased at our spa/salon) is recommended.
Self Renewal
This head-to-toe experience is designed for total relaxation and skin rejuvenation. Your skin is cleansed, toned and exfoliated, followed by a heat application (to open pores) and extractions (removal of debris from pores). During the service you experience an integrated foot and scalp treatment. The Aveda Face Massage, featured as an important part of the treatment, is a combination of pressure point, lymphatic drainage and Ayurvedic massage techniques that will leave your skin looking refreshed and alive.

Special Treatments
Problematic Skin
This service is Designed to target irritation and redness as well as breakouts. A variety of calming and skin soothing products are used throughout this service. The skin is cleansed and toned, then vapor is used to open up the pores, which makes extractions (Removal of debris) easier. Applications of coolness are applied throughout the facial to diminish redness. This service is highly recommended every 6 to 8 weeks.
Mature skin Facial
This service for Mature Skin varies slightly from our other facials, in that it concentrates more on targeting visible lines and wrinkles rather than cleansing or hydrating. While the some basic cleansing and toning procedures are used, exfoliation of the skin on the face is minimal and these are no extraction. (Removal of debris from pores). The most unique aspect of this service is Aveda’s signature 5-phase face massage and treatment. Using selective Aveda products from their Skin Care line, the products are spread evenly over the face, neck, and upper shoulders.
