| - I'm still trying to process the events of what just happened. I'm pretty sure it was magic though! My amazing sweet boyfriend wanted to get me a facial as a gift. I haven't gotten a facial in perhaps a decade or so. My skin would always be super red afterwards and it just didn't appeal to me. I did a lot of research and read a lot of reviews before deciding on Laya Spa. I opted for the Ayurveda Facial because I liked the idea of using all natural ingredients instead of the crappy chemical filled gunk most places use.
I called to find out more information about the service and pricing and spoke with a few different woman. Each were incredibly helpful, patient, thorough, and friendly. It didn't feel like I was being rushed off the phone. That pretty much sold me on the place.
The place is BEAUTIFUL. For a small spa they really have done something incredible with it! The atmosphere is clean and calming and really attractive.
I started in the steam room for 30 minutes which is included in the facial. It was amazing. Very relaxing and I LOVE the heat!
Following that Alice took me into the room to begin the facial. She asked me to hang my things up and lay on the table. I've never done a naked facial before but I'm game for most things so I was fine with it. She left for a while, and the wonderful subtle smells in the room and the spa-style Bob Marley music near put me to sleep. I should mention that I'm really sensitive to smells but the smell in the room was nice and not overpowering. Alice came back and began the magic.
I can't tell you exactly what she did but it involved a lot of amazing massaging of my upper chest, back, arms, and abdomen . She did a light extraction which wasn't painful. It involved a great deal of hot towels on my chest, face and back. Heaps of delicious smells. A mask made of chocolate, turmeric, honey, and probiotics. I honestly could have licked my face until it was clean and felt very happy about it! Apparently each person get's something different and tailored to their body type. She used Aloe and rose water and some other stuff that was light.
When I was done I went to change, and they brought in some freshly squeezed grapefruit juice for me which I downed and it was delicious!
My only few things that would make this absolutely perfect would be larger robes for the steam room. I asked if they had but they didn't. I'm a big girl with lots of hip and the robe only covered one leg. The other thing would be to clean the marble on the entrance to both the steam room and the shower. The whole place is REALLY clean but those two areas didn't look it although the steam room and shower itself were spotless. And lastly I like to know information and what's happening. Perhaps other people just like quiet and like to relax, but I would have liked if Alice had told me what she was doing and putting on me. I just find stuff like that interesting. But she was honestly so amazing in every way that this is just me nit picking and who cares! I'm still in heaven, super relaxed and my skin looks incredible and is so soft!
Thank you Laya Spa and Alice for this amazing experience. I will definitely be back! And I will tell all my friends!!
