Hey beautiful! If you’ve been thinking about getting your first facial but haven't booked yet, I’m going to make this super easy for you:

Your first visit should always be a Custom Facial.

Why? Because your skin is unique, and you shouldn't have to guess what it needs off a menu before you’ve even stepped through the door. Every single Custom Facial at Makenzie Grace Esthetics includes a complimentary full skin consultation so we can figure out together what your skin is asking for.

If you’re feeling a little nervous about what to expect, take a deep breath! My treatment room is strictly a judgment-free safe space. Here is exactly how your first Custom Facial experience goes down from start to finish.

Step 1: Your Free Consultation & Skin Chat

Before we touch a single product, we sit down for a cozy, 1-on-1 skin consult.

We’ll talk about your main skin goals (acne, dryness, glowing skin, anti-aging—you name it), your current routine, and any frustrations you have.

Girlfriend Rule #1: You do not need to wash off your makeup before driving over! I’ll be double-cleansing your skin anyway, so come straight from work, errands, or wherever—just come as you are.

Step 2: Double Cleanse & Skin Analysis

Once you’re melted into the warm treatment table under soft linens, the relaxation begins.

I start with a gentle, soothing double cleanse to clear away makeup, SPF, and impurities. Then, under proper lighting, I take a close look at your skin texture, hydration levels, and barrier health. This is where I build the customized part of your facial in real time—tailoring every step to your skin’s exact needs that day.

Step 3: Targeted Custom Treatments

Depending on what we discover during your consultation and analysis, your Custom Facial is packed with tailored goodness. It might include:

• Gentle Dermaplaning: To whisk away dead skin cells and peach fuzz so your makeup glides on like silk.

• Custom Enzyme Peels: To refresh and brighten your complexion with zero aggressive peeling or downtime.

• Hydro-dermabrasion: If during our consult I felt a Hydro Facial was a better fit for you I would suggest that option as well. Our Hydro Facials are advanced treatment with a cost increase but it will be up to you if you wish to go that direction.

Everything is designed to heal, nourish, and support your skin barrier—never attack or strip it.

Step 4: Pure Relaxation & TLC

While your custom mask works its magic, you don't just sit there waiting. I’ll melt away your tension with a relaxing shoulder, neck, and scalp massage. Skincare is self-care, and your mind gets a total reset while your skin gets the glowing treatment.

Step 5: Post-Glow Protection & Your Tailored Plan

We wrap up by sealing in all that fresh hydration with nourishing barrier serums, moisturizer, and SPF so you walk out glowing, bouncy, and refreshed.

Before you leave, I’ll give you a simple, no-stress homecare routine. No 12-step nonsense that costs half your paycheck—just honest, effective advice on how to keep that post-facial glow alive at home.

Quick Prep Checklist Before You Come In

To make sure your skin gets the absolute best results, keep these 3 simple rules in mind:

1. Pause the actives: Stop using Retin-A, Retinol, or strong exfoliating acids (AHAs/BHAs) 3 to 5 days before your appointment.

2. Sun exposure: Avoid heavy sun exposure or sunburns right before your visit.

3. Come ready to unwind: Wear something comfortable, leave your worries at the door, and let me handle the rest.
