The Seaholly facial · 75 minutes · esthetician
Not a menu item with a fixed script. Your esthetician reads your skin under the lamp, asks what changed since last time, and builds the seventy-five minutes from there. Your routine is checked at the end.

Results vary from person to person. Nothing on this page is a promise of an outcome, and a treatment may be postponed or declined if your skin is not ready for it.
Why it works
Skin in Charleston in August is not skin in Charleston in January. The same person can be dehydrated and oily, reactive in pollen season and calm by autumn. A fixed facial treats the menu, not the person. Ours starts with a reading and a question, and the steps follow from both.
The last ten minutes are the part people remember: your esthetician goes through your routine card and changes one thing at most. Most visits, nothing changes, and we say so.
Skin under the magnifying lamp, the week you have had, what your routine has been doing.
Cleanse, exfoliate to suit the day, extract only what is ready, mask, massage.
Sunscreen on before you leave, and your routine card checked.

Who treats you
Founder and Lead Esthetician
Simone opened Seaholly in 2019 after a decade in spas where every facial ended at the product counter. She runs the Skin Audit, writes most of the routines, and is the reason the studio sells so little.
Esthetician
Grace leads the acne facials and dermaplaning and keeps the humidity notes for every client. Grew up on James Island and has opinions about pollen season.
Illustrative stories. Seaholly is a fictional studio; these are written examples, not client reviews.
Simone changed the whole facial when I told her I had been in the sun all weekend. No script, just attention.
The routine check at the end took two minutes and changed nothing. That was oddly reassuring.
It is built on the day. The reading at the start decides the exfoliation, whether extractions happen, the mask and the massage. Two visits a month apart may look nothing alike.
Only what is ready to come out, and only with your agreement. Forcing extractions is how facials cause breakouts.
You can, but most people leave it until the next morning. We put sunscreen on before you go.
Yes, for $45, if your skin suits it on the day.
It is the usual first visit, but not required. If you book a facial first, your esthetician will ask about your routine at the start.
