Custom Blend Relax Facials

Do you have dry flaky skin on your cheeks but oil control issues on your forehead? Or maybe your skin is sensitive but it needs a little extra TLC from time to time. We at EXP do not believe in a one product fixes all mindset, we believe everyone is created differently and therefore deserve a custom skincare routine to spotlight their radiant skin!

When scheduling a massage with our team, we prefer to start everyone on our Relax facial, this is a 60 minute custom blended experience. Our Relax facial is personalized only for you: your environment, your lifestyle, your age, your stress level. From the moment you walk through our doors, this facial is custom created for you, starting with our Skin Reading.

Skin Reading: 
When you arrive, your esthetician will ask you to fill out a SkinReading form detailing important lifestyle factors, medications, conditions, skin concerns, etc and then you will discuss the form in a professional consultation. Once you have completed your form, your esthetician will take you back and chat privately about all of the concerns you have with your skin, this is where they begin formulating your custom facial. Through these important first steps of the appointment, your esthetician will identify your main concerns, like aging skin, dehydration, breakouts, excess oil, scarring, etc.

Treatment:
Now for the best part! Your esthetician has now formulated their plan to best address your skincare concerns with professional-use-only formulas throughout each step of your facial. Our custom blended experience targets skincare concerns such as:


  • Dehydration
  • Flakiness
  • Rough texture
  • Dull skin
  • Aging skin
  • Lines and wrinkles
  • Loss of firmness
  • Smoker’s skin
  • Tanned skin
  • Environmentally stressed skin
  • Pigmented spots
  • Post-acne dark spots
  • Sensitivity
  • Redness
  • Visible capillaries

At Home Treatment:
Once your facial is complete, you will be greeted out front with a refreshing glass of water and your esthetician will create a custom prescription skincare plan to maintain the results of your facial. It is at this point you will have the option of getting the products you purchase custom blended with the same treatment used in your facial. This ensures your skincare routine is completely customized around you, and did I mention this custom blending is complimentary with any facial service?

With that being said, we cannot wait to serve you and help create the perfect custom blended experience for you! You can call and schedule your Relax Facial today at (585)243-3890.

Behind the Scenes: EXP Model Shoot

14/9/2021

0 Comments

 
In March, the EXP team decided to put together a full blown hair model shoot to help rebrand and redecorate the salon. We had Ginny, Reid and Valentina working with 5 different models' hair from our salon. The ladies came in late on a Saturday after business hours to have their hair cut and colored, they returned to the salon first thing in the morning to begin hair and makeup. Our makeup artist Shea worked on created a natural look for each of our models in order to draw all attention to the hair. We decided to stay true to our Geneseo building on Millennium Drive and chose to shoot above the salon, the location is priceless and historic to the area (our building was the poor house for women and children). Each and every model was an absolute delight to work with and they all enjoyed their time spent modeling for us! If you have been in our salon as of late, you cannot miss the 20x30 Metal Prints created by our photographer Jamie Pankow. Below you can view our top images from each model along with a few fun behind the scenes from the big day! Enjoy.
