Facials usually transform complexions, not careers. But after Allison Hall walked away from her first facial reeling from its restorative powers, she shifted her professional focus to aesthetics and soon after enrolled in the Aveda Institute in San Antonio. Now, equipped with her aesthetician's license, a cozy spot in Salon by M.C., and the natural product line of her alma mater, she works the same magic on skin and spirits that first drew her to skincare. From basic facials that target singular problem areas to deluxe treatments that include a trio of massages, her range of facial services encompasses her devotion to tackling blemishes and skin imperfections, as well as stress. Her playbook also includes microdermabrasions that bring glowing tones back to the face for a curtain call, eyebrow tinting, and sanitary body waxing that removes hair from limbs, torsos, and funny bones sporting clown wigs.
