    Long time SWINA client and would recommend it to absolutely everyone. SWINA is my go-to for facials (and occasional other spa treatments), and has been since 2008. It's a win-win in that you get a great facial at an excellent price, and the students get to learn hands on, with teacher guidance. You truly cannot beat their prices, with their top notch products, and the in-depth knowledge that's being passed down. I've learned a ton as a client, myself. My entire skin care routine was learned here and it's what's kept my skin looking great. Go here!!
