Lex Facial Bar and Spa LLC

This isn’t the perfect way to launch something new at Lex but I don’t really care 🤷‍♀️😂

The past few days have had my nervous system extra fried and it’s reminded me why I wanted to create this space in the first place.

I feel like our nervous systems are fighting for their lives right now.

We are constantly connected. Our phones. Social media. The news. Emails. Texts. Ads. Everyone has an opinion about everything. And there is SO MUCH happening in the world right now. It’s hard to escape it. Even when you’re not looking for it it’s right there in your pocket or on your TV or coming up in conversations.

Then add work, kids, relationships, bills, responsibilities and all the normal s**t that comes with being a human.

No wonder so many of us feel overwhelmed, overstimulated, exhausted and like we can’t fully shut our brains off.

Everyone’s nervous system seems to be shot.

And the last few days have made me realize I don’t want to wait until I have the perfect photos or the perfect launch or everything completely figured out.

I just want to get this going because I know I’m not the only one who needs a place to get away from all of it for a little while.

So…here it is

The Reset Lounge

A private space where you can step away from everything for a little while.

Come by yourself or bring a friend or 3(up to 4 people in the room at a time)
Color. Journal. Read. Drink tea. Talk. Listen to music. Sit quietly.
Or do absolutely nothing.
You don’t have to accomplish anything. You don’t have to fix anything. You don’t have to be productive.

You can just be.

And if your nervous system has been feeling as fried as mine lately…maybe you need this too.

The Reset Lounge
30 min | $30
45 min | $40
60 min | $50
90 min | $75

For all of October it’s 20% off!
Come reset. Come hang out with your person. Come hide from the world for a little while. I think we could all use a place to do that right now💕

What’s your favorite place to get matcha?
🍵🍵🍵
New hydrojelly mask = we needed an excuse to put it on your face 😂
And this one is I Love You So Matcha, so obviously we have to try it.
Here’s the excuse:
$15 OFF our Esthetician’s Choice or Deep Calm Facial tomorrow and Saturday when you mention this post!
So if you’ve been meaning to book a facial, this is a pretty good time to do it.

✨Bonus points if you bring your esthetician a matcha. 🍵💕

🤐Most of our group chat isn’t social media safe,
but this seems harmless enough to share 😂

5 years ago today, Joey was our first guinea pig for HydroJelly masks. Being as bougie as he was, he chose the gold one.🤴🤑

He was my boyfriend and the person I leaned on when I needed a break from the stress that comes with owning a business. We met right here at Lex. After he got his niece, Angela, a facial here for Christmas, she decided she wanted to become an esthetician and eventually came to work at Lex.

So I guess it makes sense that he still likes to make his presence known around here. Especially around this time of year, with the 5 year anniversary of his death coming up.

Over the next week or so, don’t be surprised if our phones start acting weird, the internet goes out, the lights start flickering, or something else completely random happens.

Angela gets the worst of it. He has knocked things off shelves at her and somehow managed to make autocorrect spell out “Joey” on the iPad when she was typing nothing that should have remotely resulted in Joey. So if you’re easily scared by ghosts, maybe don’t book with Angela this week or two. 👻😂

As much as we joke about it, I think there’s something pretty special about the fact that the place where we met is also one of the places where we still feel like he’s around.

Just… maybe he could leave the Wi-Fi alone this year and help us win the lottery 🤷‍♀️💜

We do anywhere between 2–7 loads of laundry a day. So when our washing machine broke, it was kind of a big deal.

For over a week we worked around it, which meant bringing laundry home. Thankfully Angela and Isabelle were both willing to take some home too because there was no way I was doing all that laundry when I got home from work 😮‍💨

Finally, my dad and I found a day that worked for both of us to try to fix it. Because that’s a fun part of owning a business… deciding whether you want to pay someone else to fix something or buy the part and figure it out yourself. Luckily, we had already successfully replaced this part a few years ago, so I had faith in us.
Pay someone: easier and probably faster
Fix it myself: way cheaper and a good reminder that apparently I have a lot of random skills I never planned on needing. 😂

The washing machine is fixed, the laundry is caught up, and I can go back to worrying about the things I actually expected to worry about when I opened a spa… until something else unexpected comes up. 😬🫣

At Lex, we want you to leave feeling relaxed, cared for, and confident in your skin with an esthetician who takes the time to listen, explain, and make sure you’re comfortable throughout your treatment.

Exceptional service, wonderful care, and an experience you’ll want to come back for. 💗

Ready for your turn? Book your facial at Lex.

Happy 16th birthday to the original Lex! 🎉

The face behind the name, my absolute favorite person, and the reason this business exists 💕

Less stress, more glow ✨
Book that facial you’ve been thinking about

Something new is coming soon-ish!
It’s only fitting that my Dad and Lex took care of some of the projects for it 💕
