Over the weekend, I helped celebrate the 40th Ruby Anniversary of Three-13 Salon, Spa & Boutique in Marietta, Georgia. When I walked in, it looked like organized confusion, because there was so much going on, and even more things to do. I wasn’t sure if I could keep up, and I was told it is always crazy busy on the weekends, and I believe them. Although there was so much going on for this happy occasion, the time I spent at Three-13 was so exciting, yet relaxing at the same time.

I was given the opportunity to have a facial done by their Repechage International Educator, Lauren Streeter. Repechage is the only skincare line they carry, because it’s so amazing. I was so excited about this experience, because I cannot remember the last time I had a facial. I, of course, came with an unwashed face, because I wanted Lauren to see my skin in it’s true element, so that she could advise me for my future skincare.

When it was time for me to go to the back, I was given a locker for my clothes, a robe, and flip flops to wear. There was a sweet young lady who waited for me, and when I was comfortable in my new Three-13 attire, she took me to another young lady who gave me a parrafin wax on my hands. This is a warm wax, that feels luxurious. I was given a few scents to choose from, I decided on coconut-melon, and it smelled amazing. I was told to wash my hands, and then to place my hands flat in the warm wax. She wrapped my hands in bags, and then I placed my hands in what seemed to look like oven mitts. After my hands were wrapped in warmth, I was taken to the “Quiet Zone.”

When I walked into my quiet room, I met a woman with flawless skin; it was the Repechage educator, Lauren.  She was really sweet.  When the warm wax had hardened, Lauren slide the wax off of my hands, and they looked, and felt great. My hands were rejuvenated, they glowed, and they were so smooth. She than accessed my skin, and told me that I had pretty good skin, but it was oily. She told me that, that can be a great thing for me. She said that oilier skin, like mines, ages slower. So my chances for getting things like crows feet, and wrinkles are less likely to occur. (Yay for me!)

After our talk, I laid down, under an electric blanket, and she began to cleanse my face. Then she did a Honey & Almond Scrub, by Repechage. Made with pure honey, oatmeal, and almond meal, the scrub was very light, but it made my skin feel very clean and fresh.

When my scrub was done, she wrapped my face in heated towels, infused with Jasmine. It was so soothing. My skin was already starting to glow.

After all of this, there was still more to do. She pulled out this huge machine, that is known as a 7-in-1, and told me that we would be doing a galvanic.  She placed a cool face mask on me, that would be used with the galvanic to push moisture into my face. This was a little scary for me, since I couldn’t see it happening. I wasn’t allowed to move, because it could cause shock, and I had to hold onto a piece of metal, and it felt like little shock waves hitting my face. Overall, it wasn’t bad, and I enjoyed the experience.

Lauren was the absolute best, and made me feel comfortable the entire time. She answered all of my questions, and when she finished working her magic, my skin felt clean, fresh, and light. She pulled all of the dirt out of my face. My skin-tone looked even, more defined, and tighter. I LOVE IT! Her advice to me was that I should get a facial at least once a month, and I to continue my at-home-care as well.I do just about eveything from masks, exfoliates, and daily cleansing, toning, and moisturizing.

My experience at Three-13 was just beautiful. I was treated like a goddess, but this wasn’t just the “Brittney Treatment” they treat every guest as the best. They have over one-hundred beauty gods that work in Three-13, and they are all busy, and very well educated on all things beauty. I was given a tour by an awesome guy, Jason, and he took me to all of the different stations within Three-13. There is a make-up bar, a color treatment area, a cut and style area, shampoo room, intimate manicure and pedicure rooms, and party rooms.

They have it all!

They are also having fabulous contests, giveaways, and specials going on for their 40th anniversary. So be sure to visit them!

I know mother’s day is approaching, and if you’re looking for something nice, but different, get her a gift card to Three-13 Salon, Spa & Boutique, and have her pampered. She will truly enjoy it.
