Pamper yourself with a good value. I've been getting microdermabrasion facials with Lillian at Joean for the past 5 months now. At first, my skin was dull with large pores. After going for 5 months, my facial complexion is a lot more clear with with a pink glow.

I feel pampered when I walk into the salon. In addition to microdermabrasion, I get a nice facial and upper body massage, brow trim, extractions, and soothing mask in 1.5 hrs time. I emerge refreshed.

I just signed up for my second package of 6 facials for the price of one and can't wait for my next appointment!

Great Value. Great value for what you are getting. Joean gives an excellent, relaxing facial. The downside is that the quarters are a bit cramped and if there are many people getting facials someone could literally be right next to you with only a curtain in between. The technicans are very good at what they do, however, they really push on having buy a series of 6 facials in advance.

Sometimes a bargain is anything but.. The Services
While Joean boasts that its $35 facials are the "best deal in town," the spa's questionable cleanliness makes it hard to recommend a visit. Waxing, skin care, mani/pedis and massage are on the menu at bargain-basement prices, but myriad spas offer comparably-priced services in environments that won't have you running home for a shower. And the three-table treatment room is odd, at best.

The Scene
At the sole manicure table, we were surprised to find that tools were not pulled from a sterilizer. (The defense was a frightening "We rub them with alcohol.") The polishes--a mish-mash of brands stuffed in a cookie tin, with oily, separated consistencies--are equally unappetizing. The only diversion is a collection of Guinot and Clarins products sharing space with bizarre items like nipple pigment reduction cream and ultrasonic beauty wands.
