I always feel so good and pampered after
a facial with one of your experts! - Linda
Burke
It was an awesome experience, Margaret
Rose was very knowledgeable and made
me feel very comfortable. - Toni Ann
DeLuca
Elizabeth is an absolute
pleasure....professional but warm and
inviting.... And her cut and color abilities
speak for themselves when colleagues
and friends can't stop raving about my
hair!!! And, Jackie took the time to listen
to my skin concerns... Was extremely
knowledgeable of the products and the
impact on my skin specifically. I can't
wait to see the final results after my
treatments. - Giovanna Milillo
Margaret was incredible. Her knowledge
and obvious expertise was clearly
demonstrated throughout the facial,
during our conversations concerning skin
care, and specifically about my skin
issues. I immediately made 2 more
appointments, with Margaret after my
facial. I am extremely pleased with my
first experience at your spa. - Linda
Bausch
My 13 year old daughter has been
struggling with acne for a couple of years
now. We have tried many over the
counter products and even a prescription
acne cream with no luck. I took my
daughter for her first facial at Incentives
Spa in Babylon. Margaret was very
knowledgeable and gentle with my
daughter as her acne was very painful.
Margaret recommended products and I
am thrilled to say that between the
products she recommended and the
facials (she went for her second facial
recently) my daughter’s face is clearing
up beautifully! My daughter is so happy
and is regaining her self-esteem! Thank
you Margaret and Incentives Spa!

I usually don't try new salons as I'm
afraid of the results. I am very happy
with my highlights & cut. Love the
friendly staff!! Made me feel very
welcomed & at home. I definitely
found my new salon closer to home.

I love coming here! Elizabeth is such a
sweetheart and Michelle is out of
control funny! Both stylists do
awesome work!!!! I've only been
coming here for six months but I won't
be going anywhere else! Small shop
with lots of personal attention. It's like
visiting friends! – Mary Flaiban

treatment also provides calming and
soothing properties and helps to clear
follicle debris, making it an excellent
choice for helping sensitive skin types.
Myth #3: A “series” of chemical peels
is a one-time solution.
TRUTH: Receiving several treatments
close together will give the skin visible
results; however, it needs to be done on
a consistent basis to achieve the best
outcome. You can compare it to
working out, where the more consistent
you are with your routine the better
your outcome will be. Consistent
maintenance will keep enhancing the
results you see in your skin.

you.

most chemical peels are natural.
