AKIN Aesthetics & Wellness — Attraction in Riverton

I have been to Akin a couple times now and have thoroughly enjoyed my experience every time. I originally didn't know what to expect when I realized the spa was in a strip mall, but as soon as I walked in I was instantly put to ease. The spa is incredibly clean, serene, and comfortable. I was quickly greeted and checked in for my appointment, and was offered something to drink while I waited. After only a couple of minutes I was greeted by Steph, who introduced herself and took me back to a tranquil and calming facial room. She explained my options for undressing and changing, depending on my comfort level, and how to get comfortable under the blankets on the facial bed. After I was ready she came back in the room and made sure I was warm enough and comfortable. Steph has such a friendly and calming presence, she instantly put me at ease and made me comfortable. She asked if I had any specific concerns or problem areas before beginning. Once we discussed that she began the facial. She explained each step of the process as she went and used the perfect amount pressure, asking more than once if the pressure was okay. While the gentle chemical peel, and later a soothing face mask, were working their magic, Steph gave me a hand, arm, and shoulder massage. When I tell you I've never been so relaxed in my life, I am not exaggerating! I also loved that Steph was comfortable chatting if I wanted to, or letting me relax in peaceful silence. When Steph finished the facial I was incredibly relaxed, and my skin was radiant and glowing. I genuinely did not want that facial to end! It was 100% worth the money and time. I wish I could go once a week! I cannot wait for my next facial, and I will only be booking an...

I ended up getting a groupon because I got tired of my skin problems but did not feel confident on how to best correct the problem. I called and spoke to Nicole who has this unicorn trait balance of professional and cordial. As soon as I walked through the doors I was greeted by Emily who is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about products and Spa offerings. She helped explain differences between processes I was curious on. I had previously never had microneedling or chemical peels done and she helped guide me through it and was kind given that it was a new area for me to explore. She gave a very detailed walkthrough of the area and what each room houses. My appointment itself was with Heidi and she explained each step of the process in great detail and of she needed to change approach she provided a clear understanding as to why. She provided guidance on how I can better care for my skin whether it be by product or even lifestyle changes. That level of education showcases her dedication to aiding others to feel confident and comfortable with themselves. All in all, every interaction made me feel at home with the process and confident in how to better take ownership of...

Edit: reached out to the injector and was told people metabolize fillers differently. That was it.

Yeah... I've had filler several times and have never had this kind of experience. Knocked down to one star.

I had dysport and lip filler done here last month. As of less than two months later the dysport has almost entirely worn off, too. I have no idea what is up with this place but NEVER GO HERE. PERIOD. I've gotten lip filler several times and NEVER had such major volume loss after one month. I'm really disappointed because the injector did a good job with the shape and all, they just look like I got maybe half a syringe instead of a full one like I did, and it's only been a month. My lips look almost exactly the same as before I went in, and I've asked friends for honest opinions and they've all agreed. Not going to return.

Edit for response: absolutely not going to come back there and drop over six hundred bucks on lip filler that doesn't last a month, when I can go to another place I've been where it lasted six....
