Pick your skin concern to see what Monica recommends.
“Depending on sensitivity and severity, I recommend a series of Brightening Vitamin C & Honey Facials or Diamond Microdermabrasion Facial, plus a Vitamin C focused home care routine.”
I understand that waxing can be a bit anxiety-inducing so I strive to make you feel at ease. For the smoothest, longest lasting results, body hair should be a minimum of 1/4″ long.

I highly recommend Monica and her Organic Purity Facial, you will not be disappointed! … She spent extra time with me to talk about my skincare concerns and goals … I can't rave about Monica and her work more, she is a true expert and we are lucky to have someone like her in Raleigh.
Amazing place with high quality facial! It's worth it to try and come back again.
