Services
HydraFacial
HydraFacial treatment combines cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration using advanced water microdermabrasion technology. This three-step process removes dead skin cells while infusing antioxidants and peptides to improve texture and radiance. Suitable for all skin types, it addresses hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and acne with immediate visible results. The treatment requires no downtime, allowing clients to resume activities immediately with glowing, hydrated skin.
Infrared Sauna
Infrared sauna sessions use penetrating light therapy to deliver therapeutic heat at deeper tissue levels. This treatment promotes detoxification through sweating while improving circulation and muscle relaxation. Clients can choose single or group sessions lasting 45 minutes in a controlled environment that maintains optimal temperature for therapeutic benefits. Regular use supports overall wellness and stress reduction.
ProCell Microchanneling
ProCell Microchanneling stimulates natural collagen production through controlled micro-injuries to the skin. This treatment improves fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars by activating the body's regenerative capabilities. Multiple sessions yield progressive improvements in skin texture and firmness. The procedure works on all skin tones with minimal downtime compared to traditional resurfacing methods.
CBD Massage
CBD Massage integrates full-spectrum CBD products with targeted massage techniques to address inflammation and chronic pain. The treatment combines aromatic inhalation with strategic pressure application to relieve muscle tension and promote mental clarity. Specialized protocols focus on areas affected by stress or physical strain, enhancing overall relaxation and mobility.
Urban Signature Facial
Urban Signature Facial offers personalized skincare solutions through advanced exfoliation techniques combined with professional consultation. The treatment includes glycolic peels, dermaplaning, or microdermabrasion tailored to individual skin needs. Licensed estheticians provide at-home skincare recommendations following comprehensive skin analysis to maintain treatment benefits.

I would NOT suggest purchasing a giftcard from here. I was given a gift certificate and call to see if I could get it extended since I have not made it in within the year time frame during covid. they said they could not honor it so they just pocketed $80 and we are out of luck!

Report
The front desk attendant who scheduled my next appointment made a mistake and booked an appointment for me with the wrong massage therapist. She realized the mistake right after she booked it, and booked the correct appointment for me. I asked if she had removed the appointment I DID NOT ASK FOR and she advised me she had. Today I receive an email stating I will be charged for this appointment. This is absolutely ridiculous. If my card is charged, I will be filing a charge back. If this situation is resolved in a timely manner I will update my review to reflect that, and update my rating.

I had a great experience! I did a 60 minute deep tissue hot stone massage with Ieshia. She was very friendly and made me feel comfortable. The inside of the building was so beautiful!
