Positive: Communication, Professionalism, QualityI had my first spa experience at Barefoot on the Beach Spa and Wellness yesterday, and I was really impressed. After having an expensive spa day at Bad Hair Day last month, I was skeptical that “beach aesthecians” know what they are doing. My back facial at BHD was with a very inexperienced facialist, so I did not have high hopes for BFoTB. I was so pleasantly and impressively surprised. My “bacial” or back facial was with Erin, a cosmetologist apprentice, and her experience level was way above the aesthetician that I saw at Bad Hair Day. Erin did all of the steps that should be included in a facial (I have had dozens), including cleansing (usually more than one), exfoliation, extraction, masking, and moisturizing. There was no extraction or exfoliation at Bad Hair Day. Erin did extractions, including ones that should have been done last month, and the Farm House Fresh products used were tailored for my skin and current skin needs. Erin is extremely experienced in using and talking about Farmhouse Fresh Products, and I’m not someone who likes it when salons “tout” their products, because it’s usually because they want to make recommendations so that you purchase them, but Erin was spot on. After my back facial, I had a deluxe pedicure, traditional manicure, and wax treatment. These were also treatments that I had at Bad Hair Day last month, except the manicure. Again, the experience was superior. I want to truly recommend Erin, because she really took care of me during the pedicure. I have had many surgeries on my legs and feet, and I have areas of sensitivity and dry skin and irritations near scar areas and where I had years of edema bruising. Again, Erin tailored her touch, care, and FHF products to my needs. She was able to help elevate my legs and use a special cactus product to help reduce swelling – it worked! and took care of dry areas with some great products. Erin is completely transparent about where she is on her learning path to becoming a cosmetologist, but I can honestly say that she is more experienced and intuitive than many experienced in the field. I talked her ear off (thanks, social distancing and lockdown – lol – sorry, Erin), but she will hopefully be stuck with me for years to come (don’t go anywhere! lol). Thanks for taking such good care of me at Barefoot on the Beach. For anyone else considering this spa compared to others, the only other spa that I would recommend is The Avenue Spa, but you will get a more individualized experience at Barefoot on the Beach, and I only say that because The Avenue books up and they really stick to the time frames, so you are in and out and sometimes feel rushed.
