WHY WE HEART IT: Immaculate in cleanliness – modern in design – warmly greeted by the staff upon walking off the elevator. All pluses in our book. When it is then married with the most phenomenal services and top-notch estheticians, who take a deep interest in both the work they do and the clientele they perform it on…well all of that wins you a spot on our #BestIn list.

DELUXE CHOCOLATE FACIAL
Get yourself and /or loved one a luscious 60-minute treatment, which culminates with slathering the face with creamy, melted chocolate clay mask that fights aging, promote healing, and accelerate cellular rejuvenation. The scent of chocolate triggers the release of chemicals in the brain that produce a similar feeling as when one first falls in love. The natural anti-oxidants in our chocolate mask neutralize free radicals and smooth, firm, and tone your skin, leaving it soft, supple, and glowing. The service comes with chocolates & champagne, $169
ULTRASONIC-CAVITATION LIPO TREATMENTS
In 20 to 40 minute non-invasive treatments treatments, ultrasonic waves seep beneath the skin’s surface, potentially helping to reduce fat in trouble areas, such as thighs, hips and buttocks. This is a ZERO pain procedure. Occasionally, you will hear a slight buzzing inside your own head (no, you have not lost it – those are the sound waves travelling through your body). Our suggestion – use this service for the stomach area vs. thighs and butt. We saw much better results in the abdominal region.
