How do I prepare for my first facial?
All you need to do beforehand is pick the room you’d like to have your treatment in, clear 2x2m of floor space for your facialist to set up their beauty chair or bed and have a table nearby that they can use to lay out their products and tools.
You’ll also need to ensure that your face is clean prior to their arrival.
