She explained, "I like to get to know the person behind the face so I know what they are like, what kind of time they have to treat their skin, what kind of care they can afford to give to a regimen, what kind of products would they use, what will they actually use. at way, they know how to build on the ben- efits of my treatments and I can give them the most beautiful and radiant skin they can possibly have. It's personal to me so I don't measure my treatments in terms of time, I measure them in terms of quality treatments, what the client needs — that's my philosophy." In today's fast-paced world, there is a beauty to slowing down which is why Mandy's schedule is only able to accommodate a maximum of four to five clients a day. Receiving a skin treatment that is specific to you and designed by an expert who views you as more than just a number takes time, but un- doubtedly results in an outcome that is unequaled. At e Art of Beauty, the spa services go beyond the depths of your skin and Mandy's intuitive ability to connect with and guide her clients reflects her unique insights into self-care. As far as treatment options, unlike most places, you're not ordering off a menu with itemized descriptions or self-prescribing what works for you, it is up to Mandy to decide what your skin needs and what your skin gets. "e client doesn't necessarily choose the facial—they are not trained to analyze the skin like I am—that is why they come to me. Everyone's skin is different in some way and the skin will need different treatments at one time or another and my skill is that I respect the skin and know what it needs." VUE ON BEAUTY V U E N J .
