How to find the "Best Facialist"

Do facials scare you? Several of our clients have told me that they were terrified of seeing an aesthetician. While some people may prefer the tough-love approach, most of us would rather not be abused when we're already feeling vulnerable about our skin.

Being assertive and informed will help you get the most out of a facial. Here's how to find a facialist who will nurture you and your skin:

• Ask for referrals from your friends who have beautiful skin. Chances are that at least some of them have a talented facialist www.jamieleemetz.com on speed dial. Convince them to share the phone number with you.
• Go for a consultation before you book your first treatment. This is your chance to check out the facility. Are the rooms and equipment clean and modern? Are they relatively spacious and private? How easy is it to get an appointment? It should not be too easy. Pick up a price list so there won't be any surprises when it's time to pay.
• Ask if there are any promotions or specials going on? www.jamieleemetz.com/monthlyspecials/
• Tell the facialist what your skin concerns are, and make sure she's experienced in those areas. For example, some specialize in acne and extractions, while others concentrate on sun damage or mature skin. Ask her what she would recommend for you.
• Find a facialist who matches your vibe. Do you prefer natural and organic ingredients, or more high-tech products and procedures? Do you like to chat during the treatment, or would you prefer to relax in silence?
• Read reviews http://lasvegas.citysearch.com/bestof/winners/2009/facials in categories. Such as facials, skin care, waxing, Brazilian waxing, laser hair removal and best day spa. This is how Jamie Lee Metz, Advanced Aesthetics became "Best of Citysearch" 2009.

If you feel pressured or intimidated into purchasing a treatment or product, firmly but politely decline. You can always reschedule or go somewhere else.
