My Experience at fresh.beautiful: the skin studio

Posted on January 30, 2011November 22, 2014 by Elaine
I learned about fresh.beautiful:  the skin studio through the one and only Stephanie Daga aka BlushPretty who also is the owner of the the studio.

It was BITTERLY cold the day of my appointment and I was also suffering from the beginnings of a migraine (I was unfortunate enough to find out later that evening)!  BUT…I had booked my appointment back in December so I was NOT going to miss out.
I’m sure glad I went!   I met the lovely Lori who was so friendly and I did not feel intimidated at all.  I don’t know about you, but as much as I love going to spas and being pampered there are many times when I feel intimidated and out of place.   When I met Lori I honestly felt like she was one of my girl friends 🙂
I was excited but I guess a little nervous as I had never had either service before.  Lori was great and explained the whole process to me and the benefits of crystal microdermabrasion and cold laser therapy.

I DO NOT have great skin 🙁  I’ve always had acne as an issue but it seemed under control for most of my 20’s and as soon as I neared my 30’s the breakouts began once again. I also now have signs of previous sun damage showing up as well.  It will take a few sessions for me to see the full benefits of both services but my skin was much softer and smoother the next day.  I even had a pimple showing up that Lori concentrated on and the next day it was less noticeable.  I also found that my makeup went on much nicer after the treatments.I am definitely going back for more treatments, I’m really excited to see what several treatments will do for my skin 🙂

Have you ever gone for similar treatments?  What were your experiences?

  • Lip balm that changes color depending on your skin’s pH?! @winky_lux pH Lip Balm goes on clear, then transforms to a perfect color based on your skin’s pH (level of acidity). It’s so fun to see what color the balm becomes! It’s giving major mood ring vibes The formula is silky (not sticky), and the color lasts pretty well! So far, I’m impressed.

  • Nail extensions that last weeks but don’t damage your natural nails?!?! Check out the process for getting Après-X nail extensions! There aren’t many salons in Toronto that offer this service, but so far, I’m a fan! I love bio-gel, but I have the WEAKEST nails, so after I get the extensions removed, my nails shred and take forever to grow back out. I heard about this soak-off style, and couldn’t wait to check it out for myself! I haven’t gotten them removed yet, but I’ll update you all when I do! ✅ durable like bio-gel ✅ light and thin ✅✅✅
  • The big reveal!!! TL;DR - removal was painless and left my nails in a WAYYYY better state than with dip or bio-gel removal I did still have some trouble with the ends being thin (defs needed to trim the length so they wouldn’t rip ), but the rest of the nail bed was so much more comfortable and healthy-looking than when I’ve had other long-wear manis removed ✅ All in all, I’d say I’m definitely an Après-X convert! Especially as someone who doesn’t want to get a mani every month, this is perfect for special occasions. The nails were really
