Fabu Face Spa — Attraction in Decatur

I arrived at FABU around 7:49 a.m. No one was there, which surprised me since my facial was to begin at 8:00. I dialed the number on the sign in the parking lot and left a message that I was there. Then a black SUV pulls in to the parking lot at 7:56 a.m. and a woman who I assumed to be Lisa got out and walked straight past me with her head down, no wave, no recognition I was sitting there, nothing. Then I received a text at 8:01 a.m. just saying "come on in". No hi, hello. When I went in, I received no apology for anything, maybe none was due. As far as I was concerned, there was. Lisa just seemed like she did not want to be there at all. I thought this was going to be a very relaxing and beautiful experience when I booked it. But then I knew it wasn't once this all occurred. I became very tense and really wanted to cancel and leave but did not want to lose money. Lisa abruptly, while sitting behind me, put a cold compress over my eyes without letting me know what she was doing. Whenever she laid her hands on me, I did not feel good at all...at all. To me she was very abrupt. Part of it probably was the way the whole thing started off, but I believe part of it was just Lisa. I bought some products and rebooked with her for the 20th of August. But after thinking long and hard about it, I was like, I am not going to pay that much money and tip someone for being what I classified as rude and uncaring. I only tipped 15% when I usually tip 20-25%. I actually was going to tip 10% but went with the 15% for some unknown reason. I do 20-25% only when I receive exceptional service, which I do not feel I did in this case. I work at the courthouse, and I came to FABU back in 2013 under the recommendation of then Judge Becker. I had good experiences both times and expected at least the same or better. From reading the reviews, I heard that Amanda was someone to ask for. So I did cancel my future appointment with Lisa and rebook with Amanda. Coming to a spa is supposed to be a totally relaxing and enjoyable time, especially with all that everyone is dealing with these days. I never mind spending whatever to have a great and relaxing experience. Maybe it will happen on my next visit to FABU. We'll see. Thank you for the opportunity to let you know my honest opinion on my visit...

A Pore-tal to Bliss at Fabu Face Spa 🌙✨ At Fabu Face Spa, where calm softly hums,
Lisa weaves beauty with magical thumbs. A genius of glow, a maestro of peace,
She awakens the skin so radiance can release. The facial began with fruits that enchant-
They softened, they brightened, they taught stress to can’t. Each pore sang open, releasing trapped light,
As tension took flight on a luminous rite.
My face was aglow, both dewy and clear-
Like moonbeams had whispered their magic right here. Then entered the chord-monochord, true!
A stringed spell of sound that shimmered right through. It vibrated gently, dissolving old cords-
The tissues released as my spirit soared. The issues I carried, the stress in my seams,
All melted to music and softened to dreams.
The tones wrapped around me, subtle yet deep-
Calling my nervous system into sweet sleep. Lisa’s brilliance? A blend of the seen and the felt-
A guardian of beauty where stillness is dealt.
With sound and with touch, she restores from the core-You leave not just glowing-you are something more. So if you seek balance, if harmony calls,
If your skin seeks the glow that gracefully sprawls- Let Lisa receive you, she’ll know what to do...
At Fabu Face Spa, where the magic...

I took my mom to Fabu Face Spa for a birthday facial last week. My mom had a 70 minute facial with the owner, Jessica, and I had a 70 minute facial with Lisa. Both were INCREDIBLE, and here are a few things that really stood out to me about our experience:

The Spa itself is beautifully decorated. From the moment that you enter, you feel like you are in an oasis. It's obvious that no detail has been ignored - there are even beautiful wood sculptures on the ceilings that you can admire during your treatment!

The Fabu staff is professional but also very warm and welcoming. They've perfectly struck the balance between being clinical and friendly.

The facial itself was very thorough and tailored to the individual client. My mom and I compared notes after and learned that we had each had unique and incredible treatments.

Lisa demonstrated a deep background knowledge of skin care that you do not often see. I have had a rash on my face for months that even the dermatologist misdiagnosed. Lisa immediately identified it as an allergy to my toothpaste. Toothpaste! So simple! So brilliant!

So, yes, I will definitely be going back and I highly recommend that...
