“Brightside Aesthetics the atmosphere is very professional and welcoming! The staff are very friendly. Amanda is my Aesthetician She is super professional, absolutely amazing, She is patient and knowledgeable. My time with Amanda is outstanding, She is truly one of a kind. Blessed to get such a wonderful service, She’s a “gem””
“I have been going to Brightside Aesthetics ever since they started and the staff are so nice and very accommodating. I love seeing Sydney! She explains everything she will do and follows up on how you’re doing after the service! Going here has helped a lot with my acne. I recommend their SaltFacials and spa facials! Plus the smell of the place is divineee. Very pleased!”
“My skin and face have never looked better since I started going to Brightside. When I met Amanda she did a thorough intake and asked what my goals were and took pictures so we could look at the condition of my skin from multiple points of view. I appreciate her knowledge and friendly demeanor. At every appointment she asks how my skin was after the treatment and in between. I get dermaplaning and she introduced me to the benefits of salt facials. Adding salt facials to my routine has made the biggest difference. I now get so many compliments on my skin. My skincare routine works so much better and my skin is so healthy. I highly recommend Brightside and Amanda.”
“I walked into Brightside after a dermatology appointment out of curiosity and to schedule a consultation. They were able to get me in that same day which was so great! I was greeted warmly, given a coffee, and treated with such kindness. Anastasia was absolutely lovely and so helpful. I felt like I was truly valued and cared for — which is absolutely not the normal for medspas. 15/10 HIGHLY recommend. Their facility is beautiful and their staff is amazing & SO welcoming! So glad I found them! 😊❤️”
“I had an awesome experience at Brightside today! Anastasia did lip filler on me and explained everything and made me feel comfortable knowing it was my first time getting it. She made my lips look just the right amount of fullness while still keeping them natural! So happy with them! Definitely recommend her for any of your needs!!”
