Where is green tea esthetics located?
I am located at 40 North Ave, in Webster NY. I am in The Beauty Loft, which is the same building as Joe's Upscale Barbershop and Reflections Salon. The entrance is on the side of the building, near the Waffle Factory. The door has signs for both "Joe's Upscale Barbering & Beauty Loft" and Green Tea Esthetics. When you open the door, take the stairs, and The Beauty Loft is on the right side. You'll see the salon chairs and waiting area. If my spa room is open you can come on in. If my door is closed you can have a seat in the waiting area.

Can I bring my child(ren) with me to my appointment?
Children are not allowed in the spa room because of the potential hazard. In my spa room I have a boiling hot steamer, tweezers, scissors, glass decor, cleaning supplies, and other equipment that could be hazardous to children.
How old must you be to get waxed/get a facial?
Many young tweens and teens struggle with acne, and I am happy to help them control their breakouts. For teen skin, I recommend the "Glow On The Go" Facial. It is a 30 minute facial that includes a thorough skin consultation, so we can find out what is causing the problem. I can also recommend at-home skincare products and habits that will give them great results. I will wax teens over the age of 12, with their consent as well as their parents' consent, I only wax willing participants, meaning if the teen doesn't want the service, we will not go forward, but you will be charged for the appointment time.
What types of payments are accepted?
Cash and credit card.
Can you do two facials at the same time?
Because I am just one person, I can only do one facial at a time. However, you can bring a friend/family member for facials!! The facials will be back to back. While your friend receives their facial, you can enjoy some hot tea and relax! Check out my Friends Facials Packages!
