SQ Facial guide
Which facial is right for me?
The right facial is the one built for what your skin looks like right now. Below, our 8 facials are sorted by concern, from oily or breakout-prone to dry, dull or mature-looking, and whichever you book, the skin intake at the start decides the final adjustments.
Find your facial by what your skin is doing
Each facial on the menu says who it's for. Here they are sorted by those same words, so one facial can turn up under more than one concern. Prices run from $79 to $119, and appointments from 1 hr to 1 hr 30 min, skin intake included.

Not sure? Book the closest one
Skin rarely has just one thing going on, and it changes from week to week. So don't overthink it: book the facial closest to what you want, and we'll adjust it after the skin intake.
Every facial starts with a short intake form and a look at what your skin is doing that day, and that's what gets treated. If another facial on the menu suits you better that day, we'll say so before we begin.
Clearer-looking skin usually takes a steady routine at home and more than one visit.
Tell us about these before you book
The intake form asks about these because they change what's safe for your skin that day. Answer straight and you won't leave with a reaction you didn't need.
If one of these applies to you, it usually doesn't mean no. It means a different treatment, or a different week.
How a facial goes, step by step- Retinol, Tretinoin or Retin-A
- Accutane / isotretinoin
- Salicylic acid and AHAs
- Prescription acne medication
- Recent peels, microneedling or laser
- Botox or fillers
- Active cold sores or skin infection
- Pregnancy or nursing
Wearing lash extensions? Book a different day
Book a facial and a lash set on separate days. Steam and cleanser around the eye are what shorten lash retention.
