Suzie is AMAZING! She is very knowledgeable and has a healing touch.

I was diagnosed with Rosacea about 8 years ago. My option from the Dermatologist suggested using a prescriptions cream (which burned my face!) and laser treatment with a bill to break my budget as it was not covered by insurance. I have tried all sorts of "sensitive skin" formulas that I found online, department stores, several different herbalist concoctions, etc. Nothing worked, and most things made it worse.

When I met Suzie, she gave me some samples of products to try, and they worked! It brought down the redness, and my acne cleared (my skin was healing!). Her facials are gentle and healing. I highly recommend The Skin Care Studio.

Suzie is amazing! I did not know what I wanted to do for my dry skin, she had all the right suggestions and I felt very comfortable with her. She did not try to sell me things I did not need. 
I was Incredibly impressed with how clean and sanitized everything was!!!!!
She had all the bases covered. I feel completely comfortable and confident with her! 
I needed an establishment  that takes the proper percussions to ensure everything is sanitized!  
I would recommend  Suzie to everyone!

Had a nice relaxing facial here! Suzie was professional and her studio was small, but clean and curated very well. It was also an easy to schedule an appointment online.

THIS IS IT!!!

Okay, so I'm pretty sure if you're reading this it means you are interested in receiving a facial!! You've come to the right place. I too was so scared and nervous because I didn't trust just anyone with my face esp. if they are going to be touching it and putting products on it. I wanted someone who understands what they are doing and doing it right. I decided to try Suzie out because of all the positive 5 stars reviews plus the sweet deal on Groupon. I think usually her facials are $99? but with Groupon they are only $50! Def. a great way to try it out. Her studio is really small and hidden in a building with only one bed but its a 1 woman operation so you really don't need much room! Its really clean and super homey inside ^__^

My experience: LOVED IT. Suzie is passionate about what she's doing and she understands. She asked me questions about my skin care if I have one, how often I use certain products, and what I am looking for during our session together. She then stepped out to let me change and get comfortable. During our session we talked about an array of random things but most importantly I was comfortable and relaxed. She answered all my questions and also kept me informed the whole time she was working on my face so that I wasn't surprise at any given time. The total time of the facial was an hour long. When I was all done, she even gave me small samples to take home that are suitable for my skin type along with instructions on how to use them. 

If I were to trust any stranger with my face it would be Suzie. Really grateful and glad to have found her!

"Definitely 5 Stars! My first time, via Groupon, and I had a wonderful experience. Suzie is very detail oriented, and ensures that your skin gets what it needs.  She is also very knowledgeable thus, a great source of info.

She also uses and has great natural ingredient products, but is not pushy to sell anything. A very relaxing experience.

Will definitely return."

"Suzie is amazing! She is honest, caring, and highly skilled. She loves to educate her clients and gives samples as an adjunct to help establish their home regimen. She is never pushy. Suzie is incredibly gentle with your skin and your skin feels amazing for days after the facial. She makes you feel comfortable in your own skin. 10/10!!"

"Suzie is the most passionate, caring, conscientious skin care professional I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.  

Being a cheapass, I refused to go to her, even though my boyfriend said that she was truly amazing and her facials felt like massages.  I scoffed at him and said that for facials to be effective, they have to hurt.  I was wrong.

He got my cheap ass a gift certificate for Christmas last year, and I made an appointment (because obviously, if I don't have to pay for it, why not).   It.  Was. Life changing. Facials aren't supposed to hurt, you guys!

She is clearly overworked as hell, but if you text her, she will reply.  She has the cutest, most positive social media IG page ever.  Her rates are high because guess what, rents in SM are effing ridiculous.  

Do not be a tech a-hole and take advantage of her or I will have to smack you.

TLDR: If you lack confidence because you think you have bad skin, go to her.  If you want free therapy and a massage for your face, go to her.  If you want to make a sweet new friend, go to her.  If you want natural products that are affordable and already thoroughly vetted and researched so you don't have to waste your time doing that crap, go to her.  JUST GO TO HER IF YOU WANT A DAMN FACIAL."
