Alluna Skin Care

I have been coming to see Rose (the owner) for facials over the last few months. I had received a
gift card and I figured I would give them a try! I am so glad I did!
I have tough skin, (oily/​dry/​acne) so it can get pretty gnarly. Rose is not only amazing at her craft but incredibly kind, knowledgeable and patient. Each time I have seen her it’s like I have a new face. She has no fear to go after the bad blocked pores on my face, cysts and acne. Without her, and the wonderful products she recommended, I would be finding myself in the dermatologist’s office on either oral antibiotics or a third round of Acutane within the last 5 years.
Leading up to my wedding in October she was able to make my skin look so wonderful to handle all the makeup for my big day.
I have also had a spray tan here too, and it was nothing short of flawless. My very pale skin was turned into a beautiful sun-​kissed tan looking incredibly natural.
This place is truly a gem and I’m so lucky that this is in my backyard in Canton!
A side note to Unilocal!,I was disappointed to see that so many 5 star reviews for this business marked as «not recommended». I don’t think that’s very fair because they look like legit reviews, so why would you not let those great reviews show?

Wow! Great value, especially with groupon. 75 minute, thorough facials are not easy to find (aka afford). Very relaxing, quiet, spacious atmosphere. Steam room looked awesome, wish I had a chance in there too!

Stil love them. Always new products to check out. I’ve been seeing Alia for the past few years and she always takes great care of my skin, making recommendations and keeps my eyebrows in check. They really are a hidden gem in Canton.

Came on 2 separate occasions. I had a groupon for a facial and a Brazilian. They wouldn’t let me book both for the same day which was very inconvenient. They said that was their policy with groupons (heads up) I have never had this issue with other places but oh well. The first time I came was wonderful, my facialist Nicole did an excellent job and I will definitely be coming back to see her. She was very knowledgeable and the experience was highly relaxing. My face was happy and glowing after. The second time however was awful. The lady, I forget her name, was nice and welcoming but the actual wax was no good. She did not hold the skin taut and it was very painful! There was a lot of spot bleeding and irritation to the area and many of the hairs ripped instead of being fully pulled out. The wax was not very thorough either. I had lots of strays left behind. A day later I broke out allover the waxed area! And now less than 3 weeks later it looks like I need a wax again. Sigh. So hard to find a good Brazilian these days. But this was unexpected after the first visit. I will not be coming back for a wax. I took one star off for that and one for the groupon issue. The facial gets bonus points though!

Alluna is the only place I go for my eyebrows which are very tough to shape the way I like them, she uses an overhead magnifying glass to make sure they are perfect since I have this odd scar in my eyebrow.
I have also had a ginko biloba eye treatment to help get rid of the circles under my eyes that comes from the lack of sleep that goes along with having twins!
I think I will be trying the mud and hot stone treatment next!
Thanks for helping to keep me beautiful!

(reviewing for an experience in Feb/​March 2013)
I decided to get a groupon for 2 microdermabrasion treatments as a way to prep my skin for my wedding.
The entrance was admittedly confusing and I walked in to multiple doors before I realized that I was supposed to walk around the building entirely. Anyhow, I was greeted warmly, and though I had 2 different estheticians each time, they were both very friendly. I was pleased with the interior and set-​up — it certainly felt like I was coming to be pampered, which is something I’m always looking for with any personal/​beauty service I indulge in.
The treatment itself took time (which I also appreciate) and every step was explained to me. Microderm isn’t exactly a walk in the park but it’s bearable. One woman was more heavy-​handed than the other and it’s an awkward procedure to have every part of your face sucked and scrubbed, but the results were great. They used products to help soothe the skin and gave detailed instructions on how to treat your skin post-​treatment.
All the dead skin was removed and left me with baby smooth skin. I had no breakouts and my skin was ready for all-​day makeup on my wedding day. You do walk away flushed and «tender» so I would recommend spacing it out if you’re getting multiple treatments. If you are doing it for a special occasion, perhaps schedule your final one a week before. But I have no professional knowledge whatsoever so just listen to them. :)
They definitely do try to pitch you additional services and products, but I understand it’s a business and I can always kindly decline.

I first tried Alluna with a groupon. The staff was very friendly and the premises were really clean and inviting. Rose, the owner goes above and beyond to accommodate for comfort and pricing. They have really great packages that you can get for facials which don’t expire so you can use them for a couple of years if needed.
I have referred at least 6 friends to Alluna and all of them were very happy with the service. The only reason I don’t give it 5 stars is because I am not a big fan of the
’Heat mask’ and feel that it doesn’t get to all the nooks and crannies.

The staff here were very friendly and accommodating, and went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable.

I had a livingsocial for a Brazilian Bikini Wax, I went last night and Alia was my esthetician — she was great! This was my first so I was a little nervous, but she made me feel very comfortable. I will admit it hurt a bit here and there but definitely worth it. The end result was great! I scheduled my next appointment and will be sure to see Alia. I would definitely recommend her!

Had a wonderful massage from Marea. She listened to my issues and focused on all the right spots. It was very relaxing… which was just what i needed! I would absolutely recommend her for a massage. The owner, Rose, is very responsive and seems genuinely care about her client’s experience.

I had a groupon so decided to try Alluna. My esthetician was very nice, although she was a little heavy-​handed when performing her treatments. Her hands moved quickly and roughly. I am used to facials and hand treatments being quite soothing and relaxing, but this was just a little «high-​strung» for me. Also, instead of steaming she used a plastic heat mask over an herbal composition. I didn’t leave feeling as clean and hydrated as I do with steam.
The other thing is that Alluna recently moved locations and there must have been recent construction… unfortunately they did not clean the floor afterwards and it was covered in dirt and dust. I found that very off-​putting.

Based on the other reviews on Unilocal,I made an appointment here. I wish I had saved my money. My facialist kept leaving the room, and the walls are not very soundproof so I could hear her chatting away when she did leave. When she came back she kept talking again. I wouldn’t have minded the conversation if it were about the products and procedures she was using on my face. She did not explain what anything was, or what it was going to do to my skin. I asked questions as to what the products were and she claimed she would show them to me after the facial (which she never did). Since it was my first time there, I filled out an informational card. It was apparent she did not even read the card because she asked me all of the same questions throughout the facial. As for the extractions, I wouldn’t even say that she performed extractions. It felt to me as though she was running behind, so she rubbed what smelled like rubbing alcohol on my face, then proceeded to tell me that she wouldn’t be able to do all of the extractions today and that if I came back again, she would get them all. Now I do not have bad skin to begin with, but I do get occasional clogged pores around my nose, chin (the usual places). Also, the signature facial is supposed to come with a face, neck, and shoulder massage. This «massage» lasted about two minutes. Maybe my expectations were higher than they should have been, or maybe the esthetician shouldn’t have left the room as many times as she did. I received no recommendations and was very disappointed. Although I do appreciate the owner reaching out and offering to correct the issues, I still don’t think I will be returning.
