I've been going to BRS for several years and absolutely love my results. Cathy is very experienced and up to speed on all the latest treatments. I have been to other spas and I feel BRS is far more qualified than others. I get compliments on my skin from my hubby and friends all the time. How great is that!!!! :) LOVE BRS!!

I am impressed how Cathy and Janet are handling the transition to Cathy's retirement.  Usually people run for the hills when it is time to retire.  But Cathy and Janet are working together during the transition.  It was comforting to meet Janet with Cathy present.  Janet is a wonderful facialist, she was trained by Cathy so I know I am in good hands.  I LOVE Janet she is kind and funny and extremely knowledgeable.  I was nervous about seeing someone new, I have seen Cathy for 15 years.  The place hasn't skipped a beat.  Thank you Cathy and Janet for caring so much about your clients.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Cathy for talking me into using the Progressive Peel.  I have used it for a couple of weeks and I love how it works already. I like the peeling isn't really noticeable to other people.  I always shy away from peels because they look so bad while they are peeling.  This peel is different.  I can feel it, but nobody can really see it happening.  It's hard to explain. My skin feels so much better already.

I just finished my 5th Collagen Induction treatment with Cathy.  My daughter noticed a big difference in my skin.  This made me so happy.  I have not seen her for a few months because she is away at college.  She was unable to come home for the holidays.  When she arrived in early January she noticed right away.  That made my year!!  I still have 3 more appointments to go.  I am very excited to see the differences in my skin.  I 100% recommend this treatment.

I have been seeing Cathy for over 10 years.  I have followed her to each new location.  This newest location is just as great as all the others.  I had to stop seeing Cathy for a while in late 2017 due to health issues and costs.  I was able to get back to my monthly facials in 2018.  I cannot believe how much better my skin looks.  In all fairness I went through some rough patches with my health, but my skin sure did take a hit.  I feel I am back on track now.  Thank you Cathy!

I had my first facial this week, with Cathy.  My skin feels great.  It was nice that she used whatever treatments she needed to use without charging me more.  I think she called it the moldality?  My skin feels softer and looks brighter.  Looking forward to my next appointment.  She was not pushy with products.  She told me about her products but didn't pressure me, I like that a lot.

I can't say enough about these products. I've always taken care of my skin, but these products have taken the health look and feel of my skin to a whole new level. For the first time ever, I can feel my skin breath. It's never too late to love your skin, and a little bit goes a long way!!  These products are WONDERFUL! My skin feels so clean and healthy after using the exfoliating scrub and my lips look and feel healthy and hydrated!!

Full disclosure I went to high school with Cathie; that said when I asked her about my oily forehead she stepped up. Cathie was able to provide some solid advice, recommendations for controlling my oily face and products that did the trick. I'm in Phoenix, AZ and will reach out to her anytime I need assistance or help with skin conditions, she rocks, thanks, Cathie!

Just finished a series of Collagen Induction.  It isn't a very pleasant experience, Cathy uses numbing stuff to make it more tolerable.  I am happy I did it.  I can see a big difference in the lines around my eyes and mouth and forehead.  My husband noticed too, rare. I like this place because she is making changes in my skin, for the better.  I am 44 years old trying to put off big medical stuff as long as I can.

OMG! What a difference in my skin since seeing Cathy and using the products she recommended.  I don't break out anymore.  I can tell when it is time for my monthly facial, my face feels incredibly soft afterwards.  My makeup glides on effortlessly.  I am 55 years old, I have always gone for facials.  None of them made a difference, they were nice, but mostly just relaxing no skin improvements until I started coming to BRS.  I am hooked.

Cathy did my facial treatments today and it was absolutely perfect!! I felt refreshed and was glowing afterward! What sets Cathy apart is the fact that I left feeling better about my skin than I ever have. I have insecurities about my complexion and Cathy made me realize I in fact have healthy skin and I have been my own worst critic. I appreciate the honest feedback on her products too and felt absolutely no pressure to buy anything I didn't already want!!!

So thankful I found this place. From the moment I walked in to the time I left, I learned so much from Cathy about my skin type and the treatment that is best for me. I have had skin issues since I was a teen and have tried every skin care product out there, yet still struggle with oily/dry skin. She identified my needs and I can honestly say my skin has never felt this soft. She has a customer for life and can't wait until my next visit! Thank you so much!

I've been going to BRS for several years now and have been very happy with my skin. I recently decided to try the Collagen Induction Treatment because I'd been noticing some bags under my eyes and felt that my skin looked a little 'tired'. I was impressed with the results. There was a noticeable reduction in the bags as well as the wrinkles around my eyes. My skin also looks plumper and less tired.

Cathy is every aging woman's dream. Her knowledge coupled with skill set is unparalleled. Went in for my first Collagen Induction treatment...asked so many questions during the procedure, some pertinent to the treatment, some general practice. Not only did she offer answers but explanations. Though the procedure was uncomfortable, she kept me distracted with what's going on in the skin care industry. Fascinating!  Cathy really enjoys what she does, not just for a living but for her clients. She thrives on the one on one contact, knowing who's lying in front of her. Have you seen Cathy???? I want to look like her when I'm in my 50's!

Had a lovely, long, relaxing first-time facial with Cindy. She was so sweet and pleasant to talk with. More importantly, though, she provided the most amazing facial. The products are all lightweight and silky and the tools are top of the line technology. The basic modalities facial included 3 cleanses, microdermabrasion, LED antibacterial light, high frequency light, and ultrasound. She also gave a nice scalp massage at the end. It was definitely worth the price. My face looks so clear and bright and I feel very relaxed. Highly recommend.

I've been aware of how important skincare is and received facials since a young age. As my skin matured, I realized I needed more diverse treatments to target ageing and hyper-pigmentation. I've traveled to Manhattan Beach, Newport and everywhere in between before finding Cathy. With other locations, I was never truly 100% sold on their services. But after the first treatment with Cathy, I knew she was the aesthetician that would keep my loyalty.

Her honesty and passion about her work shows during each of my contacts with her. The modalities and skincare line she uses are fantastic because of their differing abilities to target various concerns to your skin. I've tried the expensive Obagi line to Dermalogica back in 1992, and am a huge fan of her Skincare line. You get a lot of bang for your buck, the products work and smell great and have made noticeable improvements in my skin. It's a compliment when someone asks if I've had injectables and I say "no", I just see Cathy on a monthly basis and use the skincare products.

Lastly, Cathy is very accommodating to us new mamas who find it hard to make it in monthly because of our little. Thank you for all you do and who you are Cathy!

I am ashamed to say I never took very good care of my skin.  I never could pay for expensive skin care.  A friend of mine who lives in West Covina sees Cathy for her facials. she uses BRS products.  She told me they are not expensive and they work.  I finally ordered some for myself.  I think I was using them wrong at first.   I emailed BRS to ask some questoions and Cathy talked with me on SKYPE and showed me how to use each of the products, that was SO COOL!   BRS is so nice and they seem to really care.  My skin does look better, my husband says I look rested.  I wish I was rested, but at least now I can look rested.  Thank you BRS for all your help and for caring.  I have told all my friends about your products.

I can't say enough about the caat treatments I get here.  I have had 6 treatments in the last 2 years. I'm 52 years old and have tried everything under the sun.  Laser, Botox, Peels, Dermaplaining you name it.  I still get Botox done about twice a year.  With these caat treatments my skin looks great!  Very highly recommend this.  As others have noted in their reviews, there is a noticable change, people see the difference.

I just finished the series of C.a.a.t. treatments.  I LOVED it, OMG!  My face is fuller and people have noticed.  I notice the difference mostly around my mouth and jaw, definitely is lifted and fuller. I wanted to try this last year but did not get around to it.  I did it when they had the juice class and it was on sale.  It is expensive so I was not sure, it was worth it.  Thanks BRS for taking good care of me.  Been a customer since 2011.

I recently finished chemotherapy for breast cancer.  My skin, hair, entire body is in bad shape.  I came here because I need something more than a facial with creams and hot towels.  Boy did I get something more than that!  I am working with Cathy on getting my skin back in shape, it used to be quite nice but recent events have taken a toll on my appearance.  I have been coming in every 2 weeks and I use the products too.  Cathy seems to know what I need each time she sees me.  Last time she did a lymphatic something or other that helped tremendously with  bags under my eyes.  She seems to have a machine or treatment or product for everything.  I am very impressed and very enthused that I found BRS facial spa.  I can't wait to see how much better my skin looks in a few more months of coming here.

My first visit I did not know what to think.  Cathy explained to me what was going to happen, but wow!  She must have used 4 or 5 machines on my face.  Never had a facial like that before.  My skin was super soft and glowing when I left.  She gave me samples of some products to use, they are very good, and smell nice.  Since my first visit I have used BRS products and I see Cathy twice a month for a modality facial.  My skin looks so much better.   That non-invasive facelift is AWESOME!!  I want her to use it every time.

I was going to another place for my facials for years.  Mostly liked going because it is relaxing, but never saw any difference in my skin. I tried BRS facial spa when the other place went out of business and have been loyal ever since.  It is relaxing but what I love the most is my skin looks much better than it did before.  They use machines and the products are wonderful.  I can see a difference when I look at old pictures.  That is the best way to see changes.  I'm a believer.

Not only has Cathy turned me onto the best facials ever, she has also taught me much about my health overall.  I am now an advid juicer thanks to learning about juicing from Cathy.  She has many relationships with other professionals to help with what people need.  She recommended a wonderful doctor to me to help me through menopause, she is just a wealth of information.  I enjoy my appointments and look forward to them all month.  The newest treatment I had was the caat.  I was a little freaked out at first, it is a strange process, but I absolutely LOVE this treatment.  My skin is SUPER glowy and fuller.  In fact my face was so much fuller my husband noticed it and asked what I did.  I was not sure if he meant that in a good way or not.  It filled in lines well.  The best part is not needing to wear much makeup, I feel good about how my skin looks now and the products to use at home are top notch!!

My partner sees Cathy every month for his facials.  He finally nagged me enough to make me get a facial.  I have been seeing Cathy every month since.  I don't know what I was expecting, for some reason I had no interest in this type of thing, but I do like it very  much.  My skin is much improved.  I do not get the ingorwn hairs I used to, and I do not break out nearly as much or as severely as I once did.  I like  the place is not overly feminine in its decor.  I pictured a place that does this type of service to have pink curtains and purple couches.  The decor is quite nice and comfortable for both men and women.  I give Cathy a thumbs up.  If you're a guy and think this is not for you, you should give it a try.

Not your mamas facial that is for sure.  All the equipment and machines makes me feel like I am definitely being tuned up.  Someone always notices how good my skin looks after a treatment, to me that's the best way to know if it is working.  Love BRS facial spa and Cathy.  Unique and it works.  If I had to choose a favorite treatment it would be the Carboxy one.  LOVE that one!!!  Super tingly.  My face looks so good after that one.

I lost my job last year and had to stop getting my facials and using the products.  My face was not looking so good but I couldn't do anything about it.  I started a new job 5 months ago, thank you Jesus, then went back for products and face work.  What a difference.  If anybody thinks getting facials and using good products does not do anything just try not doing it for a while and see what happens.  My skin looks way better already.  Thrilled to be back.

My sister and I travel from San Clemente to see Cathy.  We met Cathy in San Clemente at Farmer Market and noticed her beautiful skin.  I had to ask her where she goes for her facials.  When she told me she has her own business in Claremont I did not think I would  go all the way out there.  I started talking with Cathy on SKYPE and she was always so nice, answered all my questions and spent time with me, and didn't charge me!  Finally I just had to go to her place.  I have been so happy with my results that I have told my sister and other friends about her place, they all see Cathy now.  We try to come out together, but her schedule gets so full it is not easy to work that out.  We usually come out on our own, it is  worth the trip, Claremont is a fun place to hang out.  Sometimes a group of us comes out, maybe 1 or 2 of us can get a facial while the others hang out in the Claremont.  Great place, great service, and I love her products too.  My skin has never looked better, please open one in the O.C.

I have been seeing Cathy since 2010!  I must confess I have tried other places in between when she couldn't get me on her schedule.  I learned early on to make sure I schedule before I leave or I might not be able to get in.  Other places do a glorified face wash and massage, not here.  I don't even know what the all the equipment is that she uses, but it works.  My husband and I were looking through old photos this weekend and he noticed that I look younger now then I did before!  Good enough for me.  This place is different, they really do specialize in anti-aging.  The products are the best, and I have tried so many.  Between the treatments and the products my skin looks younger and I am happy.

A good friend came to see Cathy a couple of months ago and told me about this place.  I came in for a facial and back for the peel.  Oh my gosh, so much skin came off!  I got the whole package which meant after the peel I came back for the microdermabrasion and the C02.  My skin has been glowing ever since.  I just got the products 2 weeks ago, people at work have noticed.  My makeup goes on better too.  Very happy with such great results in so little time.  A little far to travel, but worth it, no other place like this near me.

I had to write to say Thank You to Cathy for being so honest with me about receiving the Non-Invasive Facelift treatment.  I have recently lost over 100 lbs (YAY) leaving my face droopy.  Cathy told me we cannot be sure what results, if any, would be gained with this treatment.  She recommended a full surgical facelift due to the reasons for the drooping is not caused from lack of muscle tightening but due to loose skin.  I decided to give the non-invasive facelift a try anyway, because I am not fond of surgery.  After 8 treatments I have seen significant and noticeable difference in the lift around my jowls especially.  Friends have noticed and I feel so much better!  Sure it isn't as much lift as a full surgical facelift would have been but it it made a huge difference and I'm happy with that.  I can only assume if you don't have all the loose skin like I did the results would be even better.  I especially thank Cathy for being so honest with me and working with me anyway!  I will be returning for regular monthly facials while continuing to receive the non surgical facelift at each visit to keep everything in place.  BEST PLACE EVER!!!!

BRS is the greatest place to go if you want to truly take care of your skin in a natural, healthy, atmosphere. Women of all ages are welcomed and Cathy does an excellent job in providing a thorough explanation of what is happening to one's skin at all ages. She makes you feel proud of who you are and provides options for treatments which helps one maintain a heathy glow and firmness without surgery. Yet, she is always open to discuss what other alternative are out there for consideration. I always look forward to my monthly visits. She is amazing~

Without a doubt Cathy is amazing. First and foremost Cathy is concerned with her clients overall experience; from walking in the front door to the time spent with her in her treatment room. I have been a client for well over 4 years and have never experienced anything less than her undivided attention and my face is so much better for it. I would HIGHLY recommend Cathy and BRS and have to many of my friends.

Updated - 3/22/2014 Cathy and BRS are worthy of more than five stars...more like 500! I have been getting facials and skin treatments for many many years and I have never been more loyal to an esthetician; I have been going to Cathy exclusively for almost two years. First and foremost, Cathy is extremely knowledgeable; she knows about anatomy, hormones, chemicals and all of the various types of treatments and products that work the best for aging skin. Second, she is an ultimate professional; her salon is super clean, organized and peaceful. Cathy knows how to treat clients well and she is fun to be around. Finally, Cathy really cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to ensure they receive the best treatment. When my hormones went out of whack a few months back, Cathy saw me every other day for spot treatments and was very concerned and helpful. (Cathy has great reviews on Yelp--one barely readable discordant review is completely off the mark and should be discounted completely.)

Diane S.

Ah, yes! As other yelpers have mentioned Cathy does quite an amazing job. Sometimes when I'm even laying there I just want to fall asleep because everything is just so soothing and serene. I absolutely love the aroma of all the products or formulas that she used on my skin and the next few days my skin was glowing. Another thing that I loved about Cathy was that she was just so competent and knew all the products front to back. She never once even tried to "up a sale" or pressure me into buying anything, which was great because I find that to be a little unprofessional and annoying.

I was lucky enough to discover Cathy and experience one of her heavenly treatments a few years ago. I have had many facials and Cathy stands out from the rest. Her skin treatment is based on your personal skin type. It isn't the same for everyone. Being in her care is a healing and restful experience. I felt beautiful and rejuvenated when I left. I moved out of the area and cannot continue to receive her personal care, but I am a loyal consumer of her skin care products. I have been using them for about six years. I feel like I am doing the best I can for my skin. She is always available for questions and concerns. Her products are quality and most affordable. They were formulated using her years of experience and knowledge. I take advantage of her mailing service to get them to me .I feel comfortable recommending Cathy to anyone who takes skin care seriously.

I have been going to Cathy for now almost 2 years now and I feel she has been a great help in making me feel young and helping keep my face amazingly healthier and looking good. I have recommend her products and facial to lots of my friends. The product she has is amazing and should be shared with the world in major stores. I have tried many and hers works the best. I have people tell me all the time how good my skin looks. The treatments that I have had throughout the years have just enhanced my skin to become healthier and look younger. The other thing that I tell so many friends about and appreciate in Cathy is that if you don't need a treatment that you think you might need and she feels that your skin is good and you don't need it, she will tell you to save your money and do it another time when you need it. How many business' or owners would tell you that and tell you to save the money for a later time? NOT MANY THAT I KNOW. If you want a great facial or other services I truly recommend you to try Beautiful Radiant Skin out.....and the product for everyday use is the best you must try it, it works. Thanks Cathy.....

I have been seeing Cathy for monthly facials and other treatments for 2 years now, and my skin as never looked better. I had dry, sun damaged skin and large pores and had tried every skin product on the market. My skin is also very sensitive so I needed someone that is well-educated and well-trained. Cathy has been in the business for a long time and continues to educate herself with the latest and best skin care and anti-aging treatments and products. Not only is Cathy very professional, but she is a truly great person with an awesome personality. I look forward to my monthly facials and know that she is doing what is best for my skin.

BRS is as good as it gets. I have traveled to the top spas (Canyon ranch, Mirival, Auberge) and Cathy has created a facial experience that is second to NONE. A full hour of attention based on the latest anti aging techniques. Not only is the facial magical and renewing but her products are affordable and they work! He line is well researched and she takes the time to recommend and work with you on what combinations are best for your skin needs. I feel very lucky that BRS is minutes from where I live but would gladly travel many miles for her superior services. Also, she's just all around a kind, caring and lovely person.

I had my first facial from Cathy a few weeks ago, and I must say she really earns every one of the five stars! Not only was I able to notice a difference in my skin right after the first treatment but I was also highly pleased with the service I received. Everything was set up perfectly, had a little mint chocolate waiting for me on the treatment bed and even the music was nice. If you believe, just like me, that a great experience is in the details, BRS is the way to go.Also, the follow up products for skin care have worked great, my skin looks the healthiest it's looked in a long time; went from being somewhat dry and having breakouts to a very clean and moisturized skin. Truthfully, I can't wait to go back because it's an overall relaxing and satisfying experience from the second you walk in the door.

Cathy and her spa are amazing. I have been going to her for many years and my experience has been great. I have been using her products as well. She do a great job analyzing what the best thing to do for your skin and then makes her recommendation always keeping in mind your budget and the long term. I am 59 years old and people tell me all the time that I do not look 59...I really attibute that to Cathy and the treatments I have had over the years. I am now do the the C.A.T treatment and the results are amazing. Looking forward to many years of coming here. Very honest.

Cathy, her products, and her product selections are amazing! My sister, my mom, a fabulous family friend, and I went to a makeup event at the new BRS store in December. Cathy introduced us to a wonderful new makeup line called Youngblood. Since going to Cathy for nearly a year had seen my face amazingly improve and become healthier, I was in need of a lighter, more natural looking and feeling makeup. I didn't need the heavy stuff anymore because the blemishes and breakouts were a thing of the past. Cathy had a professional makeup artist give us all a free makeover and we were sold on all the products. I have been using the entire makeup line since then and I have gotten multiple comments on how good my face and my makeup look. Trust me when I say that's the first time that's ever happened (sad, I know). The makeup is light but provides full coverage. I never look like I have a "caked" face because the products blend in and look more natural as the day progresses. What's great is that Cathy carries the makeup line in her store and employs a makeup artist to assist curious clients. We are all Youngblood enthusiasts now and I encourage everyone to try it out and see and feel the difference! On a side note, I was late today to my appointment (rain + traffic=bad) but Cathy patiently waited for me and ensured I got the relaxing session I needed after my stressful 2 hour ride to get to her. She did the Modality treatment and it is worth every penny. Don't get me wrong, I like being pampered but the treatments she uses and the results I'm getting are worth bypassing the hand and arm massages. Cathy is phenomenal and I'm so grateful I found her on Yelp over a year ago.

Update from Melissa H. 

Cathy is amazing! She has brought moisture balance back to my face and I love the results. I rarely break out anymore and I love the products. I use them religiously and I feel like they are helping to stop the march of time across my face. She customizes every facial session and I always leave feeling amazing. Cathy is a walking advertisement for how well her sessions and products work. I always look forward to my appointments because its a productive hour of pampering and relaxation but also an investment in my future, plump, wrinkle-free face. :-)

Wow, what an amazing facial, different than any facial I have ever had.  My skin was left glowing after my first visit with Cathy.  She used all kinds of machines on me.  She explained them before she started.  It was the most relaxing facial I have had and the most detailed.  I don't think she missed a  thing.  My skin looks GREAT.  What a great find.  The receptionist  took  time helping me with makeup at the end.  The entire experience was personal, caring and just a delight.  the place is SUPER clean and inviting too.

Wow! I have been receiving monthly facials from Cathy for over a year. My skin is in the best condition ever. Cathy recently added the Carboxy CO2 facial to my skin, I absolutely loved it and the results. Friends and family are asking what I did to my face. I just smile and say "It is all because of Cathy at BRS" If you haven't tried a facial from BRS.

Every time I go for a facial I ask why I cannot get rid of this dry patch on my nose and above my eyebrow.  Everybody has told me I need more moisture, but it never goes away.  Cathy recommended I see my dermatologist because she said it could be a form of skin cancer.  She tried not to scare me, although it did.  Good thing I went!  I had 2 biopsies taken which  both came back Basil Cell Carsenoma.  I had it removed, I will be fine.  I'm grateful to Cathy knowing and caring enough to suggest I get checked out.  Maybe now I can get that facial and leave without those annoying dry patches.  I see Cathy again next month.

​My Mom gave me a facial with Cathy for part of my graduation gift.  It was the best facial!  She didn't hurt my face with painful extractions they do at other places I have been to.  Whatever she did got rid of my blackheads and my skin was super soft when I left.  I can't wait to go back next month, I am getting the Oxygen Facial I think :-)  Oh yeah, and she used some bubbly stuff that was amazing.

Cathy has been taking care of my mug for a few years. I come from Orange County to see her.  Last week she gave me something called Carboxy because I have a reunion this weekend.  My skin looks exceptionally good.  The next morning it looked tighter and super smooth, I hardly needed make-up.  It was a relaxing facial, I especially loved how it felt when she put the mask on, it sizzled, it felt SUPER bubbly and intense, in a good way.  Different than anything else I have had.  Recommend this one!  I will be getting it again next visit :-)

​I see Cathy once a month, sometimes more.  Been going to her since 2010 when the wife said my face needs work.  I no longer have ingrown hairs,  the bags under my eyes are gone. She seems to have people come to see her from all over the place.  That says something, especially with the high gas prices.  I use her products because they work.  I was never a product guy, like most guys I wash my face with shower soap.  The wife has it in the shower so I use it.  I noticed a difference, now I am a product guy.

I am in the middle of the RF treatment series with Cathy and boy how I wish I would have started this earlier.  I could see a difference after the first treatment, and it is getting better.  She has been telling me about this treatment for several months, I should have listened earlier.  My eyes look lifted, my jawline feels tighter, and the overall appearance of my skin is significantly better.  Impressed.

Kathy was kind enough to honor my voucher, even though it had expired.  I am so glad I found this place, what an incredible facial.  Cathy was very kind, attentive and helpful.  She really knows her stuff, she talked with me about all of my concerns and answered all my questions.  Best of all she sent me off with some wonderful samples of her products.  I love them, they work great and smell so very good.  I made another appointment to return.

I feel very fortunate to have found out about Beautiful Radiant Skin.  I have been going through some pretty distressing skin issues and Cathy is helping me through it.  She is both extremely knowledgeable (scientist!) and talented (artist!) in what she does.  I always feel very comfortable asking her questions as she is very warm and friendly.  Clearly, she genuinely cares about each of her clients.  I particularly like how she takes a holistic approach and discusses multiple factors that affect the health of my skin (exercise, diet etc.)  Furthermore, I look forward to each visit and treating myself to some "me time."  As for the product line she offers, it is wonderful and makes a positive difference on my skin.  Best of all, they're all natural and you can feel good about what you're putting on your skin.  If you really want to pamper yourself (for very reasonable price, by the way) AND see results, see Cathy at BRS Facial Spa.

I've been seeing Cathy for the last few years.  I had a facelift 10 years ago, it is beginning to show signs of aging.  I thought because I had a facelift it was not as important to take care of my skin as it was before.  I went in for a facial and Cathy explained how important is is to take care of the skin after a facelift to make it stay nice longer.  I started to see it sagging again so I had the Micro Current done.  It has helped a lot, also I notice that my Botox lasts much longer when I am taking care of my skin.  I am not going to sign with my name because my friends do not know I had a facelift :-)  But I had to give Cathy credit for putting me straight.  I love her products too, my husband is happy I am not asking for more work.

Looked up a place for a Microdermabrasion online and found this place.  I got much more than a microdermabrasion.  My skin was absolutely glowing when I left, so much so that my husband noticed it.  Cathy was kind and professional, the place is very cute, quiet and parking was easy.  Great find.

Cathy is amazing, what can I say.  I began going to her just over two years ago at the suggestion of a friend.  Suffice it to say, I haven't stopped.  The level of professionalism is INCREDIBLE.  Its you and only you when you're being treated.  She takes her time, uses products "Au Natural" from her line, which I truly believe are great and VERY affordable.  I recommend EVERYONE to her who is trying to assist with the aging process or just wants assistance with good skin care at ANY age.  Cathy is the real deal.  Oh yeah.....she ain't gonna bombard you with trying to buy $200+ products like most salons on your first visit......(I hate that).  But, I encourage you to ask about them cause they are GOO- good!

 I've been going to Cathy for almost a year now and I love her.  I was scared to try someone new after moving far away from the place I use to go to but I'm glad I took a chance.  Cathy explains in detail what she recommends for you and goes step by step on what shes doing if you've never had it done before.  What I also love is that she examines your skin every time you go in and knows exactly what your skin is going through and what treatment it needs.  I've seen a great difference with my skin and I didn't have bad skin to begin with.  I love how personal her spa is, her facials are relaxing, and she is so loving a professional.  She makes you feel special and gives all of her attention to you.  Her prices for services and products are very reasonable and worth every penny.  I'll be staying with Cathy as long as she'll have me!

Both Cathy and her treatments were spectacular and first class!  What a find!!!!  I'm thrilled with the service and results.  Never-mind that she's a walking commercial for her regimen (she looks 15 years younger than she is!)

Took advantage of the Yelp deal and I'm SUPER glad I did.  I'm going to be on my fourth session of microdermabrasion (one at least every other week) and have already noticed some great results.  How great?  As far as my makeup regimen, I went from six year of Estee Lauder coverage to Bare Minerals!  Not trying to advertise here, but that was pretty big deal to me, especially after Cathy informed me of the evils of liquid foundation, I've also been sticking to her products since we started and they've been working great with my skin.  I can now look in the mirror makeup free without feeling bummed out.  Gaining confidence is a major plus.  I'm very grateful to have found this lovely little spa and Cathy!  Top notch customer service.

It has been a long time since my last facial, but I have had many over the years.  I think the reason I don't go more often is because I never felt like I was getting anything more than a super wash.  Cathy used different things, I don't even know what, lol.  The facial was much more than a day at the spa, I left with different skin than I showed up in.  I go once monthly to see Cathy and can't image going anywhere else.

I can't believe I haven't reviewed Cathy's facials yet!  The way we met was she offered some skin care classes parties and I won a free one.  My girlfriends had a great time enjoying some wine and cheese, some great skin care tips and products and getting to know Cathy.  I highly recommend trying a class if you haven't yet.  Anyway, we were all impressed with 1) Cathy's skin -- she's basically a walking commercial for her skills. 2)  Cathy's warm manner and no-pressure approach.

I finally got around to booking a facial for myself a few months ago and I can  honestly say that she gives the best facials I've every had.  For me, I look for the best bang for my buck.  I have been to some decent facials at cosmetology schools that were dirt cheap and some crummy facials at overprices, high end spas.  Cathy is the best balance of both worlds.  Her prices are beyond reasonable for the atmosphere, treatment and knowledge she offers.  She pays attention to every detail, customizes the facial, even as she goes along (when she tried out the oxygen mask on me and I didn't like it, she immediately took it off and replaced it with another treatment that was more to my liking) and lavishes you with personalized treatment that you would expect at a much more expensive spa (and sometimes don't get there)  But seriously, just check out her skin.  The woman is unreal - if she can that for herself, I'm pretty sure she can help me out! LOL
