As I mentioned before, I've never gotten a facial before, so I talked to my good friend and know-it-all expert, Google, so I would have a good idea of what to expect. Well, Google prepped me for a totally different kind of facial.
I was excitedly expecting to go to a back room of the salon, put on a plush robe, lay on a comfy cot-thing, wrap my hair back, and have cucumbers on my eyes and all sorts of creams, exfoliants, and more fun and yummy-smelling things. That's not what I got.
I walked in, introduced myself and the lady doing it did as well. She had me sit in a hydrolic chair (like what you sit in to have your hair cut). My hair was already in a ponytail, so no worries about that one. She then discussed my skin care needs, skin type, etc. Once we decided which facial would be best for me, she used a warm towel and wiped my face off and applied a cream. I sat under a steamer for 5 minutes, then she wiped that stuff off. She put another cream on my face, lotion & baggies on my hands and wrapped them in another steamy cloth. This time, I got yummy smelling cream on my face. Then the timer was up for them, she did my makeup and sent me on my way.
It was an experience that lasted about 30 minutes total and my favorite part was Debbie doing my makeup. I asked her to try some techniques and colors that I had been wanting to try at home, but I'm never daring enough to try on my own.
It was fun, but I had no idea of what to expect, and knowing that would've been a little better. Oh yeah, the name of the facial that I had? Merle Norman Express Facial. Which I found out once I got to the salon.
