The European Facial is the foundational skin treatment that every other facial builds on. The name refers to a style of treatment standardized in 1900s Europe — typically a methodical multi-step approach focused on deep cleansing and skin health rather than chasing a single concern. You get cleansing, exfoliation, warm steam to soften pores, careful extractions if needed, a targeted mask, and finishing massage. It's the perfect monthly maintenance facial for adult skin.
Something Cool
The "European Facial" is actually based on a 19th-century Vienna spa tradition where wealthy women would visit for monthly skincare rituals — and the multi-step sequence (cleanse → steam → extract → mask → moisturize) has barely changed in 150 years because it works. Modern dermatology has reaffirmed the value of the approach: routine professional cleansing and extractions every 4-6 weeks measurably improves skin clarity and reduces breakouts. A European Facial at a downtown spa runs $90-$150; we charge $45 because of our student-salon model.

I highly recommend that you venture into this establishment to have your aesthetics and hair done. I was exceptionally pleased with the customer service I received from Harman. She is an excellent mentor and hairdresser...with integrity, honesty, transparency and with a kind demeanor. The prices are fair and the service exemplary.

I have been attending for facials, hair removal and they are absolutely wonderful and professional. I would recommend this academy either if you are pursuing a career or just to pamper yourself with their various services offered. I am very happy I decided to go and continue going.
