What People Say

"Desiree is a delight! I had a filler facial. She explained everything she was doing, made sure I was comfortable, and at the end of the treatment I was so relaxed!"

"To begin I should say my skin is extremely sensitive--to the point where I was once hospitalized for three nights at University of Chicago hospital. I had a head to toe, unbearably itchy skin eruption. The extremely experienced doctor in charge of dermatology called it, "The most profound skin rash I have ever seen." The only thing that could control it was steroids. It took years, but it's finally (mostly) under control. As you can well imagine, I am cautious about letting anyone use unknown products on my skin. Desiree chose carefully and my face was very happy with the products. I expected a facial would improve the look of my skin. (it did), but I had no idea it would be such a fabulous renewing experience. Desiree not only gave me the best facial I have ever had, her treatment included a lymphatic massage to my face/neck/shoulders/upper chest/upper back. I don't let go and relax easily. The racing hamster on the wheel in my brain simply never wants to stand still. However, Desiree's expert massage put that critter right to sleep. Amazingly I found myself truly letting go, breathing deeply, in a meditative state. I will be returning every five weeks to repeat this luxurious experience. I left her calming atmosphere with both my skin and soul glowing. I must remember to write about it again after doing this regimen for a year. Betcha my face will be gorgeous and my hamster will have moved on to torment some other poor victim. Yay!"

"This was my very first facial with an esthetician and I am SO incredibly pleased that it was with Desiree! She was recommended by a friend who drives almost 2 hours to see her, so I figured she must be good. Desiree is so knowledgeable, professional and warm. I was a little nervous not having had this type of work done before. From the moment I met Desiree and we began chatting about my concerns I was put right at ease. She has a very calming presence. I opted to have dermaplaning and the Sculptra Mask facial. What a relaxing experience! Desiree clearly explained all that she was doing BUT was quiet when no explanation was needed which I really appreciated. Nothing worse than trying to relax and someone continues to make small talk. This was such a soothing experience! While some of the products are working on the skin Desiree gives you a massage of head, neck, upper back area. Oh my goodness!!! Seriously THE BEST massage I've ever received!! I did not want it to end! I am so please with the results. My understanding with the Sculptra Facial is that the results are cumulative. After only one session, my skin looks so good. There is a subtle luminescence to my skin that seemed to peek a few days after the facial and that is still noticeable almost a week later! About Day 3 my partner and I went out to dinner. As I was talking I could tell he was looking at my face more intensely. He then remarked that my skin look really good! He isn't someone that typically buys into skincare treatments so this unsolicited remark was genuine and appreciated! I would highly recommend Desiree and am looking forward to future treatments."

"The best of the best!! This is one of the first times I have seen MAJOR immediate results from the techiques and products used by an estitician. Desiree is a master of her trade and has made an immediate change in my complexion! I have had facials all over the world and still fly from Florida to Los Angeles just to get my filler. This is how picky I am. So, when I say she is the best trust me you'll be amazed. The liquid filler combined with micro-kneeling a has given my face a "glow" and a mini-facelift result. The environment has a soothing, spa-like effect. It is a professional atmoshere and very clean. She offers other services such as lash extension, waxing, brow sculpting and more. I drive an hour each way to have this service and it is well worth it!!!"

"Wow! Can you say GLOWING! I had the most amazing experience with Desiree. It was my first facial in more than a year, and I must admit that I was a bit apprehensive. From the very beginning, Desiree made me feel like a VIP. She calmed my nerves and helped me to relax... and boy did I relax! I can only describe my experience as luxurious. It was incredible from start to finish! During my treatment, I did not even know what planet I was on. I did not have a care in the world as she made me feel better than I've felt in years. Afterward, my skin felt so refreshed and pampered. My skin was dewey, smooth and glowing! Desiree is an angel on earth. She has a gift! My pores felt so refreshed and I felt like I was floating on cloud nine. It was such an incredible experience from beginning to end and I can't wait to book again! Thank you, Desiree!"

"I cannot rave about Desiree Strong enough. She is a miracle worker! I have always struggled with my complexion and it has impacted my confidence. I went to Desiree for a HydraFacial to unclog my pores and treat my naturally oily skin. It was immediately apparent that Desiree is an expert with regard to skin care. She explained the procedure and put my mind at ease. The treatment itself was refreshing and enjoyable. I left feeling relaxed and better about myself. I strongly recommend that anyone who struggles with their complexion she Desiree to develop a skin care plan. Desiree is an expert in her field and I cannot wait to book my next session with her!"

"I had been contemplating starting facials for a long time, but with it being such an investment, I had always been hesitant. My first visit with Desiree was absolutely amazing. I booked a consultation just to see what the best steps for my skin would be. I brought all my skin care products that I use and we discussed the best products and regimen to use for my 25 year old acne prone skin. I spend my days working on a boat, so we made sure to discuss safe products to use with high UV exposure, as well. She was extremely knowledgeable and comfortable to talk with. I never felt pressured or anything and ended up staying for the VIP 50 facial because I instantly trusted her. I wanted to slowly replace my current regimen with IsClinical products and she helped me pick out the best products to start and incorporate into my current routine. It was the best experience I could have asked for. The facial was heaven and I already am craving my next visit."

"This was my first ever facial and I absolutely loved it. Desiree is sweet as pie and explained everything in full detail before she even got started, going over all of the products she uses, techniques, and frankly told me more about my skin than my dermatologist! The facial was heaven, and I feel confident in my ability to take care of my face after this consultation and new products she set me up with! Thanks, Desiree!"
