How Do I Choose Between a Signature, Targeted and Seasonal Facial?
Choose by what you want from the hour. The Signature Facial is a full, customized facial with plenty of massage, the Targeted Facial is a peel facial built around one specific concern, and the Seasonal Facial changes its products with the time of year. If you are still unsure, tell us how your skin feels and we will help you pick.
Key takeaways
- Signature: a complete 65 minute facial with a long massage.
- Targeted: a peel facial focused on a specific skin concern.
- Seasonal: products that change with the weather and your skin.
What Do You Want From the Visit?
Before you compare names, decide what you want to walk out with. Do you want an hour to unwind, or do you want to focus on one thing, like build-up or uneven tone?
Maybe your skin is reacting to the weather, or you are short on time. Your answer points to the right facial faster than any menu description.
What Does the Signature Facial Include?
The Signature Facial is a 65 minute service customized from start to finish around your skin type and key concerns. It includes a double cleanse, exfoliation, extractions when needed, a mask and a lip scrub, then serums and moisturizer.
A hand, arm, upper chest, neck and foot massage with warm booties is part of it. Choose it if you want the full experience or you simply want an hour to yourself.
What About the Signature Facial+?
The Signature Facial+ runs 90 minutes. It adds a double mask and a longer massage that reaches the shoulders, neck and lower legs.
When Is the Targeted Facial the Right Pick?
The Targeted Facial is a peel facial built around one skin concern you want to focus on, such as build-up or uneven tone. It lasts up to about 45 minutes, depending on how sensitive your skin is, and includes a neck, hand and arm massage.
Choose it if one thing about your skin is on your mind and you want the visit built around it. It is a focused service for how skin looks and feels, not a medical treatment.
Who Is the Seasonal Facial For?
The Seasonal Facial is a 50 minute service for skin that shifts with the weather. The products change with the season and are customized to your skin.
Choose it if your skin feels tight in dry winter air or different in summer heat and humidity. Ask what the current seasonal products are when you book.
Where Do the Mini Facial and LED Fit?
Two shorter services round out the menu. Both are easy to fit into a busy week.
- Mini Facial: a shorter 30 minute facial. It works well for teens, as an express option or as a first look at your skin.
- LED Light Therapy: a professional-grade LED mask with a cleanse, serum, moisturizer and a hand and arm treatment, about 35 minutes.
Ask about a Calm Skin Facial or a Teen Facial when you book. Call the salon to ask whether either one is the right fit for your skin.
How Can You Decide in Under a Minute?
- If you want to unwind and have everything looked after, book the Signature.
- If you want even more massage, book the Signature Facial+.
- If one specific concern is on your mind, book the Targeted.
- If your skin is changing with the season, book the Seasonal.
- If you are brand new or short on time, book the Mini.
Current times are listed on our Service Menu, and our facials page explains each one in more detail.
Can You Switch Facials From Visit to Visit?
Yes. Skin changes, so your facial can too. You might book a Signature at the start of a season and a Mini between visits.
There is no wrong order. Our esthetician is a certified FarmHouse Fresh Skin Therapist and will suggest what fits your skin each time. For timing, read how often to book a facial.
How Should You Get Ready for Each Facial?
Before a Signature Facial
Come as you are and leave a little time to relax afterward. Cleansing is the first step, so there is no need to remove makeup.
Before a Targeted Facial
Tell us about the products you use and any sensitivities before you come in. If you use strong active products, ask whether to pause them first.
Before a Seasonal Facial
Share how your skin has felt lately. That helps us choose the right seasonal products for you.
How Does Skin Usually Look Right After?
Skin often looks fresh and feels soft. It can look a little pink for a short time, especially after exfoliation or extractions.
Keep your routine simple for a day or two, protect your skin from strong sun and skip harsh scrubs. Your esthetician will give you instructions for your service.
What If You Want Exfoliation as Well?
You may want an exfoliating service alongside a facial. We explain those options in our article on choosing dermaplaning or microdermabrasion.
For the full skin care menu in one place, see our facials page.
