Our core values...
The best facials I’ve ever gotten in my life
I’ve been getting my monthly facials with Monique for the last year and I NEVER miss a month. It’s the highlight of my month because not only is it relaxing, but I always leave with glowing skin and a plethora of new knowledge on my skin. Monique has helped me to refine my skin care routine to meet the changing needs of my skin as I enter my 30s. It is a bonus that she is the kindest soul and she makes the experience feel luxurious at a reasonable price point! 1000% would recommend her to anyone. I’m even planning on bringing my mom in soon!"

transparent and meticulous treatments
"I have been going to Monique for facials for a little over a year now. I have always had a wonderful experience with her, and I appreciate her wealth of knowledge on skin health. She is also transparent and meticulous about treatment and ingredients used for facials. As a Black man with oily and acne-prone skin, it is often challenging to find estheticians who have knowledge about skin issues from people of color. However, Monique is the first esthetician I have had to fill this need for me, and she has continued to provide information and solace on skin health for people like me."

"Monique has such a calming presence...
I felt an immediate sense of warmth from her from the moment she greets me. Her passion for her work is evident in every detail, from the soothing atmosphere she creates to the exceptional care she puts into each step of the facial. She has an incredible touch and a natural ability to make you feel completely relaxed, which made for an unforgettable experience. My skin felt revitalized and glowing afterward, and I walked out feeling lighter and rejuvenated. If you're looking for a transformative experience, this esthetician is truly a gem. Highly recommend."

THE ZEMI FACIAL
The foundation facial where we determine skin need and set treatment intention. Whether you are looking for a quiet pause or looking to learn more about skincare, here at Zemi you are in the driver's seat. Through proper skin analysis, we can determine skin type and condition. Once our intention is determined a facial treatment is crafted to support those needs. Target treatments can be added (outlined below) to accelerate results. All targets come at an additional cost and can be built in to your 60 minute treatment window. We can determine target options after skin analysis to ensure no contraindications exist. We recommend booking the Zemi facial as a great starting point to healthier skin.
Cell Turnover
Best targets for advanced exfoliation and cell turnover are microdermabrasion or a chemical peel. Great for scarring, acne treatment , skin brightening, texture and fine line minimization.
hydration/ sculpt
The oxygen mist is great for targeted hydration. Gua Sha is ideal for facial drainage/muscle tension. Naturally sculpts.
produce collagen/light therapy
Both LED and Nano Infusion are both great targets that promote collagen production. Nano improves texture and LED work out the skins tone.
