I went in to see Yvonne based on Catherine L.‘s review. I have to say, I agree completely with everything she said. Yvonne is a ray of sunshine. She was cheerful and informative. She seems very passionate and knowledgeable about her work and, I have to say, with her gorgeous skin — she must be on to something. I also agree about the price of Jean D’Arcel products. They are more expensive than drug store junk, but they are far more reasonable than many other products. For example, the toner that Yvonne suggested was $ 30 for 8.5oz. A similar Acure Organic product is $ 15 for 2 ounces. I’m eager to go back to Yvonne. I hope she does well in Belmont!

Yvonne is my secret weapon! I constantly get comments about how beautiful my skin is – seeing Yvonne pays off! I’ve been going exclusively to Yvonne for skin care for about 10 years(this is her new location, co-located with Michele’s Hair Care but independently owned). I won’t let anyone else touch my skin! As if amazing skin isn’t enough reason to see her, setting aside time to see Yvonne is like a mini-vacation. She is warm, funny, positive, and a wealth of information when it comes to all aspects of holistic skin care. She is a breath of fresh air, and I always feel blissfully content when I leave her treatment room. Her products from Jean D’Arcel are top of the line, the best I’ve ever tried; if I run out of something, my skin definitely registers the difference when I use a temporary substitute — but fortunately, that is easily cured by another visit to Yvonne! While the Jean D’Arcel line may not be priced as cheaply as drugstore products(with correspondingly cheap ingredients), they are not nearly as expensive as some of the other«high end» skin care available out there, and very importantly for me, tested for safety by strict European consumer protection standards but *not* tested on animals. What more could you ask for? Yvonne also does an excellent job at brow tinting and waxing; she has a feather-light touch and perfect technique(I have pretty sensitive skin, and never had any issues whatsoever). I’ve never waxed anything else ;-) but you can bet that I would trust Yvonne over anyone else to do the job professionally and thoroughly! An added benefit of seeing Yvonne is that she is highly educated in many fields — from her professional degree in skin care and cosmetology, to Ayurvedic techniques, to holistic nutrition, to massage therapy, and even oncology skin care — and she is more than happy to share her knowledge if you are interested. One last thing — Yvonne’s location inside Michele’s Hair Care is great! You can easily schedule an appointment online(through the salon’s website); the salon is in a cute little house; the atmosphere feels private and friendly; and parking is easy(plenty of free street parking, plus a small lot in the back). Yvonne, you’re the best! See you soon!
