Facials F.A.Q.

  • What is your philosophy on Skin Care?

    Why KISS? How often have you decided you were going to start taking care of your skin and...

    • The product over-promised and under-delivered
    • You purchased the whole regimen only to find out in a week that the multiple steps a day were not realistic to keep up.
    • You tried the latest treatment and didn't see the result.s

    That's why you decided to come to Spa Liz to get a professional skin analysis from a licensed aesthetician.


    Liz believes that skincare can be simple and sustainable both in easy to use steps but also affordable.


    Lets set realistic expectations in both treatments and home care so you can see the results and the skin you dreamed of!


    Spa Liz is always learning and incorporating new innovative treatments. I want to provide you with treatments that give results and can stand the test of time. 


    Spa Liz offers all-inclusive facials!!! You will never experience up-selling "add-ons" as Spa Liz.


    If your skin needs it and I offer it, your skin will get it from gadgets to products!

  • Should I wash my face before coming?

    No need to as a double cleanse as it's part of the facial experience. A reason not to wash your face for 24 hours before a facial is to understand better how your skin produces oil, moisture level, and overall skin texture.

  • I have sensitive skin, should I come in for a facial?

     I would advise if you have susceptible skin to come in for a free test patch test to see how your skin will react.


    A test patch involves applying the product(s) to an area not usually visible to see how your skin reacts to the product(s).


    The normal areas we test are behind the ear or on the inside of the forearm. 


    You'd wait to shower for at least 24-hours post-patch to see if you had a reaction and are contraindicated to a product.


  • I have a big event coming up in the next month and would like a facial to look my best?

    If you have sensitive skin, I would suggest not scheduling a facial within a month of the event.


    The general rule of thumb is to start coming in for facials 3-6 months before the event giving you the maximum benefits of a facial and making sure no issues.


    It is hard to gauge how a person's skin will respond to a facial because we must consider skin sensitivity, skin condition, lifestyle, occupation, and home care regimen and products. 

  • What Conditions (Contra-Indications) Would Prevent a Massage From Being Done?

    When you have any of these TOTAL Contra-Indications, please do not book a facial/massage:

    • Fever
    • Neuritis
    • Skin diseases
    • Contagious or infectious diseases, including any cold or flu, no matter how mild it may seem
    • Under the influence of drug or alcohol—including prescription pain medication

    These LOCAL Contra-Indications will allow me to do a facial/massage but not over the areas affected by:

    • Varicose veins
    • Undiagnosed lumps or bumps
    • Bruising
    • Cuts or abrasions
    • Sunburn
    • Undiagnosed pain

    If you suffer from any of the following MEDICAL Contra-Indications, massage can only be performed after it has been approved in writing by your physician:

    • Cardio-vascular ailments (thrombosis, phlebitis, hypertension, heart conditions)
    • Edema
    • Psoriasis or Eczema
    • High blood pressure
    • Osteoporosis
    • Cancer
    • Neurosis or psychotic conditions
    • Heart problems, angina (wearers of pacemakers)
    • Epilepsy
    • Diabetes
    • Bell’s Palsy, trapped or pinched nerves
    • Gynecological infections
    • Recent operations or acute injuries
    • At-Risk Pregnancy 

    The restrictions previously stated are in place to protect your health and well-being. I hope you understand and consider them as seriously as I do.

  • What is the pressure of your massage?

    When it comes to massage, my philosophy is if you can relax the whole body and mind, then the individual areas will release.


    My style would be described as medium pressure with emphasis on the upper back and neck area. 

  • I am pregnant, can I come in?

    All services offered at Spa Liz can be customized for the pregnant mama!


    Just when scheduling, please make a note so that the room can be set up accordingly.


    Spa Liz does not charge more just because you are pregnant. It is the same price as a non-pregnant client.


    When receiving a facial/massage at Spa Liz when pregnant, it will be done with the upper body elevated, and if having a back massage, it would be in a side-lying position.


    Side-lying is the best, safest way to receive a massage because it does not compress major blood vessels and puts more stress on the lower back. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me via email or phone!


    As always, if you have any contraindications (see contraindications tab), please wait until after your pregnancy to book your appt.


    Also, always check with your ob/GYN to approve the service you wish to have.

  • Does Spa Liz and Company except male clients?

    Yes, Spa Liz does except male clients but not for male genitalia waxing or electrolysis in that area, as I am not trained in that service.


    Also note, if you are looking for some "happy ending," you should know that I take my jobs very, very seriously here.


    Understand that any illicit or creepy remarks, deeds, or advances made by the client will result in the service's immediate termination.


    The full fee will be charged for the terminated service. Spa Liz & Co. will deny any future appointments.


    I would hate to involve the authorities but won't hesitate to do so if the issue warrants it.

  • Why do you need to make a copy of my Drivers License or State ID?

    Due to the services being offered at Spa Liz and Co. and to protect against credit fraud,  Spa Liz may require a client to present a state valid photo ID and a copy made for records to ensure that an individual's safety is protected.
