My experience with Katona was absolutely exceptional! This was my first facial and she not only walked me through step by step but she made me feel… just comfortable. Excited! Calm. She is exceptional and I was so excited to book my next appointment. She made me wash away my insecurities and just treated me like it was okay that “I could be doing better for my skin” (my words, not hers). I left being grateful and feeing her experience set me up for success. 12/10 recommend!

I had a very disappointing experience at this facial spa. I paid $125 for a full facial, and all they did was dermaplaning for almost half the appointment. The rest felt rushed and honestly ineffective. My skin looked exactly the same afterward — no glow, no hydration, nothing that justified the cost or the time spent.

It felt like a complete waste of money, and I left feeling frustrated rather than pampered. I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for a real, results-driven facial.

Response from the owner:Hi there, thank you for sharing your feedback from your facial on November 19th — we didn't hear back from you from our follow up text on 11/21 so we are very sorry to learn that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. At The Only Facial, our facials are a full 60-minute service, and that is the amount of time we spent with you during your appointment. Dermaplaning is one of the steps included in the 60 minutes in which we do two passes. The second pass after microdermabrasion allows us remove any vellus hairs that were laying flat or missed during the first pass of dermaplaning. Our goal is always to provide a balanced, results-driven service that includes exfoliation, extractions as needed, massage, hydration, and finishing products tailored to your skin. We never want a guest to leave feeling disappointed, and we’d love the opportunity to make this right. If you’re open to it, please reach out to us directly at theonlyfacialcolumbiamo@gmail.com. Thank you again for your honesty — it helps us continue to improve and ensure the best possible experience for every client.

I had the best experience with Jesslynn at The Only Facial in Columbia, MO! She walked me through every step of the facial and explained exactly what she was using and why. She also suggested follow-up products that were actually affordable, which I really appreciated. I’m 17 and drove two hours to see her—100% worth it. I’ll definitely be back! Thanks Jessyln- Marney from Palmyra

Response from the owner:So glad you enjoyed your glow! Columbia deserves the best facials, our team is proud to deliver them with treatments like dermaplane and microdermabrasion.

Amazing! Kinzee provides impeccable service!!! I have seen major results in my skin's health; the atmosphere is calming and everything is clean. I have received so much education and support from Kinzee to improve my routine (previously non-existent, and Kinzee NEVER judged me ❤️) and all recommendations were catered to my comfortable price-point, again with no judgment, just positivity and support. Would give more stars if possible!!!!

FAQs

Will visiting The Only Facial cause me to breakout?

The Only Facial provides an exfoliation and detox for your skin. On rare occasion, it may stimulate a post-treatment breakout. As part of your facial, we will use a high frequency wand to control bacteria and decrease inflammation. If you have any post-treatment breakouts you can stop by to have the area treated again at no charge.

Will dermaplaning cause my hair to regrow in a coarse and stubbly fashion?

Some people believe shaving hair causes it to grow back thicker and darker, but this is not the case! Dermaplaning will not cause the vellus hair on your face to grow back thicker or darker. Initially re-growth after dermaplaning may feel slightly different because the hair has been cut straight across. Dermaplaning does not affect the hair growth cycle.

After the vellus hairs are removed for the first time your skin will feel much smoother, and when the hair grows back you may be more likely to notice it (even though it was there before). When your skin is smooth, your products can more easily penetrate your skin and your make-up will go on better!

How often do I need The Only Facial?

Did you know that our skin produces new cells every month? New skin cells travel from the lowest layer of your epidermis to the top layer, where they shed off to reveal healthier, younger, ‘glowing’ skin. The problem? As you age, your skin cell renewal slows down, and you begin to build up dead skin. Dead skin = dull skin.

When you come see us you can expect an intense exfoliation and detox for your skin, getting rid of dead skin, and stimulating your cell turnover rate with regular sessions to keep it turning over on an ideal 4-6 week cycle.

Come see us every 4 to 6 weeks for best results towards continued improvement in the health and appearance of your skin!

Why does my skin seem dry after my facial?

It’s completely normal to experience a bit of dryness after your facial. During our sessions, we accelerate your cellular turnover rate and slough off dead skin to reveal the new, healthy skin underneath. As a result, you may experience 3-5 days of dryness and mild flaking, which is completely normal! If you have dryness and/or flakiness, use a natural oil for hydration until the barrier function is restored.

As your skin gets used to The Only Facial your recovery process will decrease due to the health of your skin increasing!
