Akoya Face + Body — Local services in Webster

I'm deeply hurt and disappointed by the way I was treated by the owner, Judy, while I was there waiting for my mom to be finished with her appointment. I sat quietly in the lobby with my daughter, out of the way, not bothering anyone. Judy approached me multiple times, harassing me, and asking me to move to another sitting area to which I kept replying, no thank you. She then stated that the bench I was sitting on was "unstable" implying that I was too fat to sit there. (I'm overweight and very petite but not so morbidly obese that I would damage furniture and even if I were and the bench was truly "unstable" then that is a liability waiting to happen and the establishment is actively discriminative against people who are overweight.) I eventually left to go sit in my car and not only did she not care that I was visibly distressed but seemed happy that I was leaving. After a few minutes, I decided to come back in to speak to her about how she made me feel but she'd already left for the day. I spoke to Sabrina, my mom's aesthetician, about what happened and she seemed confused about why Judy told me the bench was unstable because it hadn't been a problem before. It felt like the real issue was that she wanted me to move because I was sitting too close to the skincare inventory and was concerned I would steal. I also believe she didn't care how she spoke to me and what she did to make me uncomfortable because I'm a woman of color and she didn't want me in her establishment. I was fat shamed, discriminated against and deeply hurt by Judy and we will never return to her business. She pretends to be a kind, friendly person but is prejudiced and cruel.

Sabrina was kind, understanding and empathetic and my mom immensely...

WORTH THE READ!!! Akoya Face + Body is one of the best spa's I have ever been to. Let me start from my entrance into the building, I was immediately greeted by my aesthetician and the front desk by name. They then escorted me to a small sanctuary room where they welcomed me with the most delicious hot tea I have ever had, and a chocolate. From there we discuss my reasons for wanting a hydrafacial and massage, and they scanned my skin to see what my skin actually needed which was pretty cool to see the advance technology being used. After our discussion, I was then taken to the facial room, where I was given a soft robe to change into, and my hydrafacial began. She worked her magic and by the time my facial was done my skin had been transformed! I was completely amazed by how just by looking and working on my skin, she could tell what my diet was consisting of and how it was impacting my skin!!! She told me the recommended changes I needed to make as well as adding two new products to help with my blemishes and dull skin. Afterwards I was then taken to have an amazing massage that was truly relaxing! I can't wait to go back! THANK YOU AKOYA YOU ARE...

Yesterday, I visited Akoya Skin and Body Spa and after a skin consultation with my esthetician Sabrina, we decided on a full body scrub called an Australian Jindilli Body Scrub to help with my extra dry, itchy and flaky skin.

This incredible treatment is a four step, 90-minute COMPLETE BODY TREATMENT that incorporates prepping the skin with macadamia oil, an amazing scrub, a balancing cream and a nourishing hydra-opulence deep tissue moisturizer.

My skin has never felt better - back to baby soft! I even took a shower this morning and my skin is still retaining the moisture and smoothness from this treatment and made shaving and moisturizing much easier!

I’ve never experienced such an immediate result like this anywhere else and Sabrina is fabulous at executing it! She’s got the strong hands of a masseuse yet the gentleness of a great esthetician!

I couldn’t be more happy with the results and plan to return for this exact...
