Bliss Facial Spa

When Vicky Lysenko took over Bliss Facial Spa, she quickly realized the challenge she’d signed up for. With no experience in the skincare industry and only the advice of her cosmetologist daughter, Lysenko was overwhelmed by the time and energy it took to maintain a high-quality spa. Today, two years and more than 150 regular visitors later, Lysenko and her team of aestheticians have proven their mettle. To achieve this success, Lynsenko seeks out only the best staff members; in addition to training and ability, she looks for aestheticians with interpersonal skills and a team mentality. Lysenko also keeps her spa on the cutting edge of cosmetic technology. In addition to performing traditional spa services with products from Image Skincare and Éminence Organics, the staff at Bliss swiftly corrects blemishes and jostles circadian rhythms with FDA-approved light-therapy treatments. Lysenko recalls light-therapy clients who arrived with severe acne or fallout from poorly performed chemical peels. After a series of treatments, their faces were evidence enough of the technology's mending power. “It’s incredible how fast and how well [they] healed,” she gushes. “We really have a lot of faith in that light.”
