If you’re new to the world of facials — welcome! You’re about to treat your skin (and yourself) to something truly refreshing. 🌿

Getting your first facial might feel a little intimidating at first, but we promise, it’s one of the most relaxing and rewarding skincare experiences you can give yourself. Whether you’re looking to de-stress, target specific skin concerns, or just reset your routine, we’re here to walk you through exactly what to expect from your first facial — no surprises, just glow.


💆‍♀️ 1. Comfort First

Facials at Fancy’s are customized to your skin and your comfort. You’re in good hands from the moment you arrive.

Your facial begins the moment you walk into the spa. Your esthetician will greet you warmly and make sure you feel completely at ease. You may be offered a robe or headband depending on the service, and you’ll always be guided through each step.

Some facials include a quick neck or shoulder massage at the beginning to help you relax and settle in. It’s your time to feel taken care of — and we take that seriously.


🕯️ 2. A Relaxing Environment

One of the best parts of any facial? The ambiance.

Soft lighting, calming music, cozy linens, and a quiet space to just… breathe. You’ll lie back on a warm treatment table while your esthetician gets to work. This is more than just skincare — it’s a little slice of peace in your day.

Think of it as a reset for your skin and your nervous system.


🧴 3. Personalized Skincare

Here’s where the real magic happens.

Your esthetician will begin with a professional skin analysis to get a detailed understanding of your skin’s condition — from hydration levels and sensitivity to pore size and texture.

We’ll also take a few before-and-after photos to track your skin’s progress over time. This helps us personalize your treatments now — and adjust them as your skin evolves.

Based on your skin’s needs, your facial could include:

  • A gentle cleanse
  • Light exfoliation
  • Steam to open your pores
  • Extractions (if needed)
  • Hydrating or detoxifying masks
  • Serums or peels
  • Facial, neck, or shoulder massage for added relaxation
  • Moisturizer and SPF to finish

You can always chat about any sensitivities, goals, or concerns. The facial is tailored just for you.

💡 Bonus: Your esthetician may give you skincare recommendations or product suggestions based on what your skin needs most — so you leave glowing AND informed.


🌟 4. Smooth, Glowy Skin

The best part? The results.

After your facial, you’ll likely notice:

  • Smoother skin texture
  • A dewier, more radiant look
  • Fewer visible blackheads or blemishes
  • A fresh, healthy glow

Your skin might be slightly pink for an hour or so afterward (especially if you had extractions or a peel), but it should quickly settle into soft, calm radiance.


🙋‍♀️ FAQs: What You Might Be Wondering

Will it hurt?
Nope! Most of the facial is gentle and relaxing. If extractions are done, you might feel a little pressure or slight discomfort, but it’s short-lived and worth it.

Can I wear makeup afterward?
We recommend giving your skin a break post-facial — let it breathe and soak in all the goodness.

How often should I get facials?
Every 4–6 weeks is ideal for long-term skin health, but even one can make a difference. Ask your esthetician what’s best for your goals.
