Lisabet's MOD Beauty Squad comes to you -- at home, at your office, at the beach! And EVEN GUYS can get the treatment.
de Vos is MOD Beauty Squad's "Chief Glam Master". She told me the other day that her mobile skin care, eyebrow and lip waxing Squad had primarily women clients, but that men were getting into "manscaping".
After several of my female friends told me "You skin looks old and your eyebrows ... well, you GOTTA DO SOMETHING!", I decided to try out the MOD Beauty Squad.
BUT, just for a test, I told de Vos: "Let's see how mobile you are. How about eyebrow waxing and a hydroxy peel AT THE BEACH!?!" Even though she makes her living going into people's homes, to their offices, and to parties to work her skin care and beauty magic, I thought that would be too much for her.
She didn't bat an eye.
"Does Juanita Beach have power?" she asked. When I told her it did, the appointment was made.
What a GREAT experience for a first-time "manscaper". The sun was out, a cool wind was blowing, and I was scared to death sitting in her chair. But de Vos calmed me down. The eyebrow waxing? Painless. The best part? She looked at me and said "WOW! That REALLY changes your look! Your eyes look GREAT!"
Then for the hydroxy peel and facial. Again, I was nervous. Acid on my face? But de Vos talked me through the process, explaining that the facial peel helps cleanse the skin while restoring moisture.
WOW! What a sensation! 6 hours later, I can still feel it! It feels like my entire face is "breathing"; the air feels fresh on my face, and I have a healthy, youthful shine to my skin.
de Vos also recommended a massage of my hands, which I gratefully accepted. As a web content writer, editor, and marketing consultant, my hands are typing 70 wpm for about 10 hours a day. They take a beating! But a gentle healing lotion and a wonderful massage of my hands, wrists, and forearms... I'm ready to write!
And all this without having to go to some fancy spa somewhere -- instead, I just chilled at the Beach, and in less than 45 minutes, I was done!
It was an amazing experience, but the most interesting part? The Looks. I wasn't even out of the parking lot, and a young (30-something) blond lady in a convertible caught my eye, turned, and smiled. And it's been going on like that all day. My skin must look decades younger, my eyebrows really show off my eyes... who knew?!? For the price ... a great value!
