Skintastik Day Spa

I’ve had eye lashes applied at other facilities, and Skintastik’s technique by far surpasses any other! I also highly recommend the micro current treatment. I was skeptical that results would be dramatic just on the first treatment, but it was! One half of my face was worked on. I looked in the mirror and literally the side that wasn’t worked on looked droopy. This treatment is simply a miracle! Thank you Alyssa

Let me start by saying that I have struggled with acne for about 12 years now. Even till now, I still feel like I haven’t found a good routine that works for me, that really controls my breakouts. At least not one that won’t break my bank.
My mom asked me if I wanted to join her and get a facial at Skintastik. Sure why not, can’t hurt. And it didn’t! Ginger greeted us, and she was my esthetician. The place is nicely decorated and provides a nice, calm atmosphere. The individual rooms are really pretty and comfy. She began my facial, and I told her that I didn’t really have a great skin routine at the moment, and I felt like I could never find something that works well consistently. We had good light convo throughout, and she was great at communicating with me. If anything ever irritated my skin, she would adjust treatment immediately. I really appreciated that.
Also instead of the typical painful extractions I’ve normally gotten during facials, this one didn’t really hurt at all, which was great. At the end, my skin instantly looked a lot healthier. Ginger didn’t even push any products on me, and just kept a line of communication open for when I’m ready to try some new products she would like to recommend. Having skin issues for so long, I’m used to people always pushing me to use their products and it gets tiring and discouraging when they don’t work. Ginger was the first person to consider my comfort level with trying something new, and I think that’s really great.
I’m pretty confident that I am going to incorporate this place into my overall skin care routine. I’ve paid waaay more for less effective treatments. Service is wonderful. Will definitely be returning.

Ginger ROCKS. Having never had eyelash extensions before, I was a little nervous about the maintenance and upkeep after the initial appointment. She made sure to let me know the daily expectations with washing tips & makeup tips. Super helpful. Ginger was very personable and gentle with the application of the lashes. She listened to what I wanted and accommodated. The salon is in an industrial building and a bit hard to find. The air is off in the building on Saturday’s so be ready for that. It wasn’t uncomfortable, but dress accordingly. The Lashes are still going strong and it has been two full weeks. They do not do fills, they take off existing and replace 100% :)Ginger had great pointers and I cant wait for my next appointment with her!

Upon my arrival to this really beautiful spa, I was greeted by Alyssa. The spa is very professional relaxing with great ambience. It was professional from the time I booked the appointment to the time it was confirmed the day before and during and after the facial. I was surprised that the facial was both relaxing and therapeutic. I really felt the results afterwords. Alyssa took the time to explain what she was doing and why. It was a very very positive experience from A to Z. You really get personal service.
I would recommend this place to anybody. obviously, make an appointment because they are very busy.

I have been going to Skintastik for over 3 years now and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I do the ultrasonic and microcurrent with Alyssa. She is amazing and completely accommodates my skin with it’s every changing needs. Sometimes my skin is very dehydrated and she will often use extra products to give me that healthy glow back. I always feel well taken care of when I go there.
Friends have often commented on how flawless my skin looks and I often will give them her number.
The spa itself is always very clean and comfortable and beautifully decorated. I look forward to going monthly as I know I can completely relax and be well taken care of. I buy all my products there also. Alyssa is a wealth of information and is always researching and on top of the latest products and services available.

I was lucky enough to find Kara just by the website. I started eyelash extensions 3 years ago. I have a demanding job and am really active surfing in the winter and waterski/​wake surf all summer with my lashes!!! Kara takes her time does a perfect job every time. I get endless compliments, and with the medical grade glue, have never had an issue. Kara is such a professional, I can’t imagine going anywhere else, since I live 130 miles away it’s a big compliment. My lashes last on average 4 – 5 weeks. The facials here are amazing too!!! I recommend Skintastic and Kara to friends and colleagues all have become return clients, this small beautiful day spa does not disappoint !!!

Skintastik is by far the best day spa in Folsom. I have been going to see Alyssa at Skintastik for over 8 years now! I live in Sacramento but happily make the drive out to see Alyssa for my eyelash extensions, (SHE’S THAT GOOD!) The spa is lavishly decorated and I feel relaxed from the moment I step in.
Alyssa does an AMAZING job on eyelash extentions, She is very knowledgable and really is an artist at lashes! She’s so precise and maticulous! She takes her time and makes sure that you’re lashes are exactly the look you want. The quality of the lashes is outstanding. Alyssa is a perfectionist who takes great pride in her work. The outcome is a completely natural looking lash, regardless of length you choose. You are sure to leave with the most incredible, low maintenance (but looks like I spent an hour in the mirror) look ever. ALERT: It’s crazy addicting, but oh so worth it! I am constantly getting compliments on how long my «natural» (wink wink) eyelashes are– even my optometrist AND opthohamologist thought they were real!
The lashes are synthetic but comfortable and weightless; the glue is also very strong (she doesn’t use the cheap stuff) and I have never had any lashes fall off due to the glue. Your lashes will naturally shed, but even after 3 – 4 weeks, things still look good. My lashes even held up through a week of humidity in Hawaii.
On a side note Skintastik is a great place to get a facial, once you do, you will walk outta there with that J. LO glow! I can’t say enough good things about Alyssa at Skintastik. LOVE LOVE LOVE! :)

Best place to get eyelash extensions!

I wanted a facial. But I was looking for results that I couldn’t achieve just by spending an hour washing my face at home. Skintastik’s advanced treatments intrigued me so I decided to try the ultrasonic facial. It’s definitely different than a typical facial. Overall, it felt like a clinical procedure. There was a lack of relaxing elements (no massage for shoulders/​arms, scrub, or mask). And I had to wear a metal bracelet to ground me so that I wouldn’t be electrocuted!
First, my face was cleansed with two different products. Then the esthetician exfoliated my skin using a machine that releases low frequency ultrasound waves. Next she applied a couple of more products and did extractions. Finally, she used another gadget to stimulate my skin with an electric current.
After the facial, my skin felt very soft. It didn’t have that shiny clean look that sometimes occurs with facials. Nor did my face look red and irritated. My skin didn’t look much different, although it felt different. The website recommends a series of 6 – 12 treatments to obtain optimal results. I’m happy with the facial. But considering that each ultrasonic facial costs $ 140, I doubt that I will complete a series.

Update: As I mentioned above, my face felt very soft after the facial. A week later, my skin still feels the same way. Hooray for technology!
