Facial treatment begins

Before the Gua Sha massage, our standard facial procedure will begin with cleansing, enzyme/acid/derma-plane exfoliation, extractions (if appropriate), and application of treatment serums.

Gua Sha massage

Gua Sha  is done with light to moderate pressure and performed from one full side of the face to the other. We use the jade stone to work up the neck, over the jawline, under the cheekbones, under the eye, over the brow bone, and up on the forehead—lifting and detoxifying with each pass.

Finishing the facial treatment

After the Gua Sha massage, our standard facial procedure will continue. A treatment mask will be applied with ice therapy and the treatment will end with a moisturizer and SPF.

GUA SHA RESULTS

After just one treatment with Gua Sha in Kansas City, you will notice a nice glow thanks to the increased blood flow. This brings much needed natural nutrients toward the surface of the skin. The lymph system will be flushed, causing the skin and under eyes to appear less puffy.

Overtime, regular Gua Sha treatments will help lift and tighten the skin.

I have been going for regular skin treatments for close to a year now, and it has made such a difference in my skin! All the ladies are so friendly and welcoming.
- Jessica
The Facial Bar never fails to exceed my expectations! I always leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated (and with glowing skin of course).
- Ellen
I cannot say enough good things about this place! They are just so spectacular at what they do. I starting coming here spring of 2022 thinking I’d address a few skin issues I’ve had for years. I had never had a ~real~ skin care routine nor had I had a facial before. They helped me so much by addressing the issues I had with my skin and guided me through what products I should be using. My skin improved so much and being able to maintain that has been such a huge confidence booster for me. I felt like I was in great hands here.

The Facial Bar hosted our bachelorette party facials and we had a wonderful experience! The staff was very kind, the place is clean and orderly, and we were provided a good mix of relaxing and talking as needed. Would recommend!
- Jacqueline
Just had a facial at The Facial Bar, and it was seriously the BEST! The whole atmosphere is so chill, and the staff is amazing. They walked me through every step, dropping some skincare knowledge along the way. I brought my teen daughter in with me and they were so wonderful with her and used age appropriate treatments for her skin. You'll also leave with a little regimen sheet so you know exactly how to apply your new skincare products. We'll definitely be back!
- Alex
