Jennifer Rozell

Bailey was wonderful! She explained what she was doing, reminded me to relax, and showed knowledge and care throughout my entire facial. My skin is smoother than ever, and I love the lingering feeling of deep moisture... especially in these frigid temps! I've already booked a facial for next month. Thanks Bailey, see you then!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your review! We’re thrilled our dermaplane and chemical peel left your skin glowing—this is why we’re known as the best facial in Columbia.

I had a wonderful experience with Bailey at my facial today! She explained everything, took her time and made sure to take care of my skin. I have dry skin so she tailored my facial to fit my needs! So great!

Jenny Lenggenhager

Highly recommend this facial!
Bailey took her time to address my skin concerns, helped provide real solutions, discussed my personal care/maintenance routine, and sent an affordable/effective product recommendation.
Her passion for skincare goes beyond a basic facial, and extends to treating the underlying causes and issues.
She is very skilled and confident with massage and dermaplaning!

I am confident that you'll love your experience with Bailey, she is very talented!

Response from the owner:Your feedback makes our day! The Only Facial Columbia combines dermaplane, microdermabrasion, and chemical peel elements to create results clients call the best facial in town.

What a lovely experience with Bailey! My skin has been very dry and I was worried about having a facial today but I’m so pleased with everything she did! Really worked to heal the reason why it’s so dry and adjusted facial accordingly. She was outstanding ❤️

Ashley Blair

She was excellent. Very knowledgeable and delicate with my skin.

Haley Perez

Mary was definitely the most thorough and precise esthetician I’ve had before. I highly recommend her for your skin care. Gentle, sweet and can hold great conversation as well. Very educational and will see her again.

Response from the owner:Thank you for the GLOWING review, Haley! Here at The Only Facial our aestheticians take pride in making sure you receive a fantastic and relaxing treatment every time! See you soon! xoxo

Makayla Scott

Feeling amazing after my facial appointment with DawnAnn. She was extremely kind and very knowledgeable. I was worried about trying something out like this for the first time since you never know what to expect, but this was beyond the best possible outcome. I felt very well taken care of! I was reassured that if I have any post-facial breakouts that I can come back for a complimentary high frequency treatment, which is so great! DawnAnn made sure I felt comfortable, safe, and happy with the results and I cannot recommend this place enough for anyone wanting to try out a spa day for themselves for the first time. Definitely worth the drive! Will be coming back occasionally for special events. 🩷

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.

Edit: I was offered a complimentary facial after my review, and the experience was much better than my initial visit. I appreciate the follow-up and customer service.

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.

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!

Audrey is amazing! I absolutely love this place and the experience every time.

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!
