ALONA IS THE BEST. Had my eyelashes done and they are still holding up, makes me look great. Also, had a wonderful facial. Alona is so geniune and really knows what she is doing. She always has good advice for keeping my skin healthy and it makes sense. The location is very nice, everyone greets you when you walk in. Highly Recommend booking an appointment with her.

I had such a calming and refreshing facial experience! Alona is very professional, knowledgable, and shared helpful skincare advice personalized to my skin. The Korean skincare products left my skin feeling hydrated, smooth, and glowing. I left feeling completely refreshed and pampered. What a treat! Highly recommend and look forward on coming back.

Thank you sooooo much!!! I came in for a facial after a long day at work and it was exactly what I needed. I have rosacea, redness and some congestion, and after the treatment my skin just felt so clean and fresh, like it could finally breathe. It looked brighter, my pores were less noticeable, and I had such a nice natural glow. I usually wear foundation or try to cover something up every day, but after the facial I didn’t even want to put makeup on — I actually really liked how my skin looked without it. And the chest and neck massage was sooo relaxing. I left feeling lighter and refreshed. It’s been about two months and today I realized I really need to come back! 🤍

I've been seeing Alona to clear up my acne, and she has truly delivered. I always tried different products to help my acne, but nothing really worked until I met her. Not only did she help me achieve clear skin, but she also restored my confidence. She's incredibly kind and caring, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for effective and supportive skincare help.

As a busy mom, taking time for myself doesn’t happen often — but this facial at Face Essence Studio was so worth it. The experience felt calm, professional, and genuinely caring from start to finish. My skin was glowing, and I walked out feeling lighter and more like myself again. Highly recommend.
