The knowledgable and friendly staff offers an assortment of facials from a thirty minute Mini Facial to an hour long Classic Facial, improving the overall skin tone through cleansing, exfoliation, extractions and massage. Clients also have the choice to add on to any facial, among the variety of options are masks and peels which remove excess debris, tighten, hydrate and rejuvenate the face.
While visiting the Petite Spa, I was able to experience the Mini Facial. Everything was carefully explained to me throughout the treatment while the soothing cleansers and creams were worked expertly over my face. The overall result that I experienced was a deep sense of relaxation along with surprisingly smooth skin.

Organic products are used for most procedures. One of the lines carried is Organic Skin Food from Dr. Alkaitis. Only living ingredients are used in this unique collection, they are never tested on animals, there are no harsh chemicals or synthetics and to preserve the healing power, all products are shipped within two weeks of creation.
Custom blends are an available option at the Petite Spa when a service uses oils. Clients select up to three essential oils to personalize and enhance their experience. Some of the blends include fresh strawberries, sea salt and organic honey bought from the local farmers market.
The forty-five minute scalp treatment is another service I received. To begin, a specialist expertly massages a mixture of organic, nourishing oils and coconut milk into your scalp. The head is then wrapped in a warm towel and foil, sealing in the treatment. After a short period of relaxation, Dr. Alkaitis's revitalizing organic shampoo is massaged throughout your entire scalp and hair, leaving you with a smooth and healthy mane.
Additional services offered are head-to-toe waxing, make-up application, eyelash extensions, tints and perms, scrubs and body microdermabrasion. The Dry Brush treatment is another invigorating option, using a natural brush that stimulates circulation throughout the entire body while eliminating dead skin and toxins.

Petite Spa applies the modern day trend of enhancing your well-being through all-natural services in a contemporary, serene environment. The staff was experienced and knowledgeable about every treatment and product, creating a healthy, positive environment that I would recommend utilizing regularly.
In honor of Mother's Day, Petite Spa offered an Orange Blossom Honey facial. This treatment includes a citrus cleanse and steam followed by a lip exfoliate, which is an all-natural lip plumper. Completing this treatment is a relaxing face, shoulder and chest massage along with a Vitamin C mask that will give you the golden glow you've been missing.
