Atlanta Review: Fabu Facial Spa

For Valentine's Day my DH set me up with an Eminence Fruit and Vegetable Facial at Fabu Face Spa in Decatur, GA. I love getting facials, they relax and recharge me. Fabu was recommended to me by a friend and I've been meaning to go for a long time but like most moms me time is pushed to the back burner. So after months of thinking, I should really get a facial, I finally got one.

My first impression of Fabu was warm and welcoming. When I first walked in the woman at the front desk welcomed me with a warm smile and asked "Jennifer?" when I told her I was there for a facial. She led me to the waiting area and offered me water or tea. The waiting area isn't very impressive. It's partitioned off from the storefront with a folding screen and a few chairs around a coffee table. However the storefront area isn't loud and it's filled with sweet smelling perfumes, makeup, clothing and all the accessories that make you enjoy being a girl. And to keep you busy while briefly waiting for your session to begin, they have every recent magazine you want to read but never have the time to read since having kids. It's pet peeve of mine when a waiting room has magazines from last season.

I was impressed by their brief questionnaire. It wasn't too long and asked if I was open to product recommendations at the end of my facial. I'm happy to hear recommendations for my skin but I don't want the hard sell to buy $300 worth of skin care products and said so.

Jessica Kane, welcomed me with bright flawless skin and perfect makeup--not too much, not too little. Once in the room I noticed two Best of Atlanta awards. One specifically for her giving the best facial in Atlanta from 2005. I was impressed that she's being at the same location and experienced.

Jessica lived up to her award, she gave a great facial. It included arm, shoulder and back massage which was great. Not to hard, not too soft,but just right. She worked on my skin for the entire seventy minutes. (I've had many facials where they apply a mask and then leave the room for 20 minutes while it sets.) My skin was glowing when she was finished. Something to note, when we started Jessica explained the process and then didn't talk until my facial was over. The silence was very appreciated. I get facials to relax and don't want to have to talk or fear of coming off rude.

A nice touch at the end, Jessica left a piece of chocolate for me next to her card. That's when I decided not only was she getting a nice tip but I was booking my next appointment upon check out. (I'm not sure if the chocolate was just for Valentine's Day or if it's customary.)

Jessica's makeup was so perfect and I had to ask her what she used and to set me up with some. It's a tinted cream with SPF. It goes on smooth and has no smell which is key for me.

Out of the other Atlanta spas that I've had facials: Spa Sydell, Jazmin Spa, and Natural Body, Fabu is the best. *Please note: Fabu and Jessica are unaware of this review and I've received no compensation for this review.*
