Privy Skin Care

"I have been seeing Joyce for a little over a year now. I initially saw her for acne that was mostly all over my cheeks. I had never had acne like that and on my own, NOTHING was working and it was truly depressing. I followed Joyce’s recommendations and my skin cleared up COMPLETELY. It’s like night and day, and my self confidence is back! We are still working on a few things for my skin, but I really appreciate that Joyce values getting someone’s skin better so they can continue on their own, instead of making them dependent on her. She is so knowledgeable, a joy to be around and truly great at what she does. Thank you so much, Joyce!"

"This review is too long overdue! Joy is amazing in her profession, she is at the top in her field of skincare with extensive knowledge and expertise on how to best take care of your skin and body. I've been regularly having facials with Joy for over two years; I originally went to seek her advice and help on my adult acne issue. When I had my very first facial in her clean and relaxing cozy environment I immediately felt at ease with her personality and true care. She inquired what products I was currently using in my skin care regimen, what my diet consisted of, and even asked if I had any changes in my laundry detergent and my sheets were the culprit. She asked that I stopped using my current skincare products and had me switch to a zinc soap for starters. I saw Joy religiously as no dramatic changes happen over night, consistency is key. And over time she slowly recommended and introduced other products into my skincare routine so my skin didn't have a shock with multiple products at once. All of the above really shows me know that she cares about the health of your skin and isn't trying to push products on you like I've experienced with previous aestheticians. I ended up booking acne facials with Joy twice a month, even when I didn't necessarily need it because it was my time to relax and pamper myself. She is so gentle with extractions on the skin, not to damage the tissue, and warns you if it might hurt (and it rarely did at that). After extractions I did a red light therapy (she has a top line red light machine) and at that point I would take a nap; she has a cozy blankets available if you would like one. I would continue to nap after the red light therapy while she applied a face mask and finished my facial. I really enjoy the way Joy gently wipes off the mask with synchronicity in one direction and doesn't wipe opposite direction where she previously cleaned the skin. That last detail really matters because I recently had to move out of state and had a new facial experience where it did not feel sincere when they wiped my skin. Joy will make you feel comfortable and important with her personality, environment, knowledge, and the way she sincerely cares about your skin and loves her job. I honestly just want to travel back to Vegas for facials and don't even want to try a new aesthetician as no one would be able to compare after my experience with Joy. Didn't mention this yet as it may have been apparent from my experience and consistent acne facials but I have not been experiencing any breakouts for so long now and this is the first time in my adult life where I feel comfortable in my own skin and I never use any foundation, only sunscreen! It's an amazing to finally feel so confident in this area of my life; and I know that with a bit of patience, consistency, and perseverance in the personalized routine Joy will help design for any new client they will feel the same way!

"Joyce provides service like no other. She will sit down with you and talk to you before doing anything to your skin. She is extremely knowledgeable unlike a lot of places and she truly CARES about helping you in a sustainable way. After years of misdiagnosis by dermatologists, Joyce was the one who suggested that I see an allergist, which resolved all of my skin problems. I have nothing but respect and trust for her!"

"I don’t even know what to say. I had not had a facial since before Covid. Joyce did an absolutely exceptional job. My skin hadn’t looked or felt that good in years. She knows her business inside out. She is also marvelously intelligent and great fun. I don’t see why I would ever want to go anywhere else."

"I have been beyond impressed with how much Joyce has continued to help my skin heal for the past year, since my first appointment with her. After seeing many people (doctors & beyond), searching for answers for my persistent adult acne, Joyce is now my go to person. Joyce takes the time to thoroughly take into account all aspects of your health to address your skin-health in the best way. She makes sure to fully vet any product she recommends and they all work impeccably. Joyce applies her breadth of knowledge in science to her practice as an esthetician and how knowledgeable she is makes a huge difference. She is not only meticulous while performing facials but also in sanitation and making sure her office is beautiful and kept clean. On top of all this, Joyce is an incredibly caring and kind person—her ethic and personality are what run and make this five-star business."
