Booking your first facial can feel exciting—but also a little intimidating if you don’t know
what to expect. At Emily Nicole Studio in Hermosa Beach, my goal is to make every
client feel comfortable, cared for, and confident about their skin.
Whether you’re looking for acne relief, anti-aging treatments, or just a chance to relax,
here’s exactly what you can expect at your first facial in the South Bay.
Step 1: A Personalized Consultation
Your facial experience begins with a one-on-one consultation. We’ll talk about:
- Your current skincare routine
- Past treatments or concerns (like acne, hyperpigmentation, or sensitivity)
- Your lifestyle and skin goals
This step ensures your facial is completely customized to your skin—not a one-size-fits-all
spa treatment.
Step 2: Skin Analysis
The general rule of thumb is every 4–6 weeks. Here’s why:
Using professional techniques, I’ll analyze your skin type and condition to determine what
treatments and products will work best for you. This step is essential for creating a targeted
plan that delivers results.
Step 3: Customized Treatment
No two facials at Emily Nicole Studio are the same. Depending on your skin’s needs, your
first treatment may include:
- Deep cleansing & gentle exfoliation to refresh your skin
- Extractions to clear congested pores
- Gua sha or lymphatic drainage for circulation and sculpting
- LED light therapy to reduce inflammation and boost healing
- Targeted masks or peels for hydration, brightening, resurfacing or tightening
Each step is designed to leave your skin glowing and balanced.
Step 4: Relaxation Meets Results
While I focus on improving your skin, you’ll also experience the soothing benefits of facial
massage and a quiet, private studio setting. This is your time to relax, recharge, and enjoy
a self-care moment away from the busy South Bay lifestyle.
Step 5: Personalized Skincare Recommendations
After your treatment, I’ll share tailored recommendations for your AM/PM skincare routine.
The goal is to help you maintain your results at home and continue progressing toward your
skin goals.

FAQs About Your First Facial
How long does a facial take?
Most treatments last about 60–75 minutes.
Should I come without makeup?
Yes! Arrive with clean skin if possible—but if not, I’ll take care of cleansing at the start of
your treatment.
Will my skin be red after?
Depending on your skin and if extractions are performed, you may experience slight
redness, but it typically fades within a few hours.
