Editorial Review for Pola Kirei – by Melissa Gage
In Short
Set along the chic shopping stretch of Montana Avenue, this clean white space creates a tranquil environment where high technology meets Eastern tradition. First-timers start with a skin analysis at one of the studio's laptop stations, where everything from texture to discoloration sensitivity is evaluated, followed by a lifestyle consultation. The payoff comes with any one of three customized facials that include an individually-blended mask along with a hand, foot and head massage. Add-ons range from enzyme exfoliation to a decolette massage and mask. When you've had enough work on your face, there are also body treatments for the back, legs and arms.

If you have tried so many different products, like me, but still haven’t been able to solve your skin problems, then this is the place to go!If you are looking for not only a relaxing moment, but also effectiveness to your skin, this is it!!You will find a total skincare solution there!!! My beauty advisor provided me with a full skin analysis, including my cells’ size and turnover speed. I had been bothered by sensitive skin so much, so that when I could find out the cause of the sensitivity from the analysis, I was totally blown away. After the full-60 min-customized facial, my skin was glowing, without any pain. You know, some facial places give you painful extraction, and POLA doesn’t. I was totally relaxed, and still got a great result. I bought a trial set of their personalized skincare line named AP for $130. They were amazing! They lasted more than one month, and brought visible results. One of my problems was so many white heads, but now my skin is smooth, fresh, and youthful J AP works for adjusting the skin turn-over speed, and let you have a healthy look. Even though you haven’t heard about the name, don’t worry. My friend told me that POLA is Japanese skincare giant, since 1929.
