“I’ve had such a wonderful experience with Cynthya at Skin by Lovely! She helped me plan out my facials leading up to my wedding, making sure everything was timed thoughtfully and tailored to my skin. She also introduced me to DiamondGlow, which has been a great option for my rosacea-prone skin. I felt so cared for throughout the process, and I still go to her regularly. I’m so glad I found her and would absolutely recommend her!”
“I started seeing Cynthya for Diamond Glow facials in March 2026 in order to prep for my October wedding. Not only did my skin look the best it ever has on my wedding day, but Cynthya's talent and genuine care for what she does is so refreshing and appreciated! She would remember exactly what worked for my skin and what didn't - making minor adjustments at each session. She introduced me to products I will never stop using! She is incredible and I'm lucky to have found her!”
“I can't say enough positive things about Skin by Lovely. I've been going here for years, and I look good! Yesterday I had a VI Peel with Dane. She was so caring, made sure I was very comfortable, not rushed in any way, and made me feel pampered. She gave me very good, detailed follow up instruction and made me feel very confident in my treatment. They are truly professional, personable and talented.”
“I had such a great experience with Nicole! I got Botox and filler, and the entire process was so easy and practically painless. She made me feel comfortable the whole time, explained everything, and was very gentle. The entire staff is super welcoming and friendly. I’m so happy with my results and will definitely be coming back!”
“Candice at Skin by Lovely is amazing! I have been going to her for all my treat ments for 4+ years. I trust her advice, knowledge, and technique entirely. She gives you her honest opinion and never tries to oversell. Her approach keeps you looking youthful and most importantly natural. She is also a lovely sweet human. Highly recommend booking with her for a consultation:)”
