Best Place for Facials!

by Irtz at Citysearch

Sweet Skin Spa is more than your ordinary spa. The owner and sole esthetician, Jill, holds a wealth of knowledge about proper skin care. She is kind, professional, hip -- and her facials are like nothing you've ever experienced. As an adult, I've suffered from adult on-set acne. Jill not only helped me to get clear skin, but has set-up a maintenance program for both my skin's needs and my budget.

The best treatments at Sweet Skin Spa are the peels! These leave your skin feeling fresh, giving your face a dewy look. Of course, Jill knows exactly which facial to use for your skin type. And she never leaves your side during your facial. You’ll find her giving you a head, neck, and arm massage using her favorite creams.

I highly recommend Sweet Skin Spa for any of your spa needs. You will not only have fun, but you will leave feeling even more beautiful than when you walked in.

• Pros: Holistic knowledge of skin care
• Cons: When you have to go home.

Sweet Skin Spa really is sweet.

by Annemal at Citysearch

I've been seeing Jill for years. I started seeing her when I accidentally took off too much of my brow. Thank god for her brow shaping! I can vouch for the great comments from the other reviewers about the benefits of sugar vs. wax, about the quality care and service that Jill and her staff provides, and the relaxed atmosphere that is all about making you feel comfortable. I never feel self conscious as Jill always makes you feel well cared for.

I had a family emergency a few years ago and I had to cancel my appointment for emergency travel. Jill kindly offered to squeeze me in and I had a little moment of peace before a week of funeral hell. My brows were a mess, my lip fuzzy, and my skin blotchy from days of crying. She spent 1/2 an hour and simply fixed me. And sent me on the way with soothing skin products. Honestly, it was one less thing to worry about when making funeral arrangements and meeting important family that I had never met before. Not that I cared what I looked like, but I knew I wasn't unkempt and messy and would make my mother proud. SSSpa cared for me when I most needed it. Thanks :)

Sweet as Sugar

by Canadagirl42 at Citysearch

I first met Jill about 4 years ago, and have been a loyal customer ever since. She is as sweet as the sugar she uses to give the best treatment ever! So much more comfortable than waxing. You will notice the word "sweet" pops up in many of this Spa's reviews because of Jill's warm, welcoming, and simply sweet personality. Combine this with high professionalism, and you have a rare combination in this gem of an aesthetician. As someone who makes a huge effort to shop as close to home (walking distance or short bus ride) as possible, this is the only service I cheerfully make the drive for. No matter how I feel when I arrive, I always leave feeling cared for by a friend.

I'll follow Jill anywhere!

by oliversmama at Citysearch

I have followed Jill for 5 years and would hesitate to go anywhere else for waxing (she uses sugar which is much better than wax; why aren't more people using this?). My brows look great every time I walk out the door and they're never red or bumpy, which always happened with hot wax (pre-Jill). She's the best kind of esthetician; sweet, professional, and cares deeply about your happiness with the final product. Isn't that what everyone wants?

Esethecian and spa who knows their stuff

by nicolecaven at Citysearch

This spa is so great. I have had skin problems for a long time never felt like any esthetician really cared about my skin or issues past my appointment. Jill really sees skin issues as her problem to solve. She actively helps you figure things out without making you feel like you have to buy a ton of products. She does however have some fabulous products and I buy a lot of stuff from her now! She really does her homework and research and makes sure to give you the best products and facials for your budget and skin type. I highly recommend this place and Jill for her expertise and fun loving attitude.

• Pros: Great products, great employees (Emily and Jill are so sweet and helpful); great facials; Jill does her homework and makes sure to do the best she can for your skin
• Cons: none at all--I am absolutely and completely a happy customer!
