Waste of money! It's my first time here doing facial with extraction! She's actually put a mask on my face and that's it, I was expecting a deep cleaning with extraction, but she didn't do anything, and they said it's an hour of service, she spent only 20 minutes, and said " your skin is very clean", I know how my skin looks like and I what it needs! NOT RECOMMEND
