GREER’S BEST BUYS:

Share via

One of my favorite aestheticians is huge on giving back.

Kelley Cahill at DeHaven’s Retreat — a quaint space offering beauty treatments inside Bella Faccia in Costa Mesa — works tirelessly for Working Wardrobes, and now she’s adjusting her prices downward to help out her clients during this economic hard time. Her specials include microdermabrasion facials, oxygen facials and all peels at a 50% discount. The cost is $75. All other facials range from $85 to $90. And she’s offering a $25 gift certificate on top of that! So all $75 facials will cost $50 (that’s $100 off the regular price).

She’s also offering specials on packages: purchase a series of six treatments and receive the seventh treatment free; or purchase a combo package of micro and oxygen facials and get the second free. The cost is $450 for seven facials of your choice, or $900 for 14 facials of choice. And the packages do not expire. With every facial, Kelly gives an arm and foot massage with heated mitts; and her facial room is very cozy. After any facial, you can have a complimentary make up application with mineral makeup treatment line from TRUE. Bella Faccia also offers custom gift baskets and gift certificates wrapped beautifully for the holidays. Open 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday at 269 E. 17th St., Costa Mesa. Call (800) 697-7249.
