Testimonial

Maggie is the owner and operator of Complexions on Carter. The testimonials online convinced me that this boutique had the experience, techniques, and products to consistently provide exceptional customer service and skin care treatments for any skin type. The décor is elegantly designed to create an atmosphere of relaxation, intimacy, and calm. When I met Maggie, the rapport was instant. It felt like I was visiting a long-lost friend sitting in her living. The teas and coffee presented covered a unique variety to satisfy any palate. Initially, I was anxious that the products available would cause irritation to my skin. Maggie went painstakingly through her inventory of products to assure me that I would not have an allergic reaction. My skin looks amazing and people are telling me I look amazing. I tell them that Maggie is the reason and that they can look as good as I do if you visit Complexions on Carter. While in the boutique, I received a Brazilian wax, which was completed in an efficient and professional manner that minimized discomfort, and awkward positioning. The cooling, healing skin care products were refreshing. The wax, facial, and other complimentary services I received convinced me that Maggie is a consummate professional that uses pharmacy-grade skincare products, which promote restoration and healing for any skin type. Do yourself a favor, call Maggie, and schedule your next skin care service. You are worth it, and you will not regret going to Complexions on Carter.

I was 19 years old when I received my first facial, and it literally changed my life. It was an awakening, an epiphany, and the first step on a path I’ve been following ever since.

The glowing complexion. The well-groomed brows. The deep, healing relaxation opened my eyes and my mind to the concept that has become my business and personal philosophy: Skincare = Self Care.

You see, we are Holistic Beings ~ Mind, Body, Spirit ~ and each of these aspects of ourselves require maintenance and attention. A really great facial (the kind I offer!) has the power to address your Whole Being in about an hours’ time.

How so? Let me count the ways:

MIND: There's nothing quite like receiving bodywork that brings the feeling of drifting away into an Alpha State (Light Sleep, Dreams, Creative Visualization, Connection to the Subconscious)

BODY: The skin is our largest organ and an outward reflection of what's happening inside. Nourishing the skin from the inside & outside is an important part of caring for overall health.

SPIRIT: A facial is a nurturing treatment that offers an opportunity to let go, while trusting that the Esthetician is taking care of everything. Your spirituality is completely honored in this space.

I look forward to seeing you soon!

Love & Beauty,

Maggie

Plant Stem Cells - The Future of Skincare

17 years ago I stepped onto my skincare path at the Aveda Institute of Minneapolis. At the time, the school was still owned by Aveda's Founder, Horst Rechelbacher. Attending the program at that time was a truly amazing experience for the 20-year old me, opening my eyes, ears and awareness to the philosophy of Ayurveda (Sanskrit for The Science of Life); Plant-based products; Organic eating; the many styles of Yoga; Essential Oils vs.

Seasons Change!

What an absolutely lovely fall we've been having! Blue skies, sunshine, yellow leaves falling around us ~ truly spectacular! However, this change marks another effect: cooler, crisper, DRY air (the drought is catching up to the Land of 10,000 Lakes!) and our precious complexions are feeling it, too.

Summer Skin Love

Since it's an early summer and the sun is shining ~ If there is one thing you can do to support your skin's natural ability to protect itself from UV radiation, it's having a love affair with Green Tea. It's a magic potion packed with antioxidants, has a bit of caffeine to stimulate your metabolism, fights & burns fat and helps your skin protect itself from the sun. So drink lots of hot OR iced green tea this summer!

Your Inner Goddess wants to take front and center!

The sun is shining, birds are chirping, new life abounds in the gardens, and we put away our warm, heavy winter clothes and fill our closet with colorful, light summer clothes! Lighten up even more with an exfoliating & hydrating Signature Facial, a bright & cheerful lip gloss, and the inner glow that comes naturally when you take time to pamper yourself. You deserve it. When you let the Goddess within rule your world, the results in your life are amazing!
