Testimonials

 

Joy is a gifted artist.  Her clients are her canvas.  Her tools are skill, talent, passion and knowledge.   

I've been Joy's client for over 6 years.  She was my third brazilian wax experience and my first pain free version combined with a therapy session.  I'm the only person I know who looks forward to a brazilian wax.  How is it possible for a person to turn a brazilian wax into a brazilian vacation?   

Joy's brazilian wax is painless and perfect.  her facials are rejuvenating, relaxing and educational.  Joy's talent, enthusiasm for her work and genuine interest in her clients, quite simply places her in a rare category of excellence.   

At first when I spoke of joy, I would say how lucky i was to have found her.  Now when I speak of joy, I say how lucky I am to know her.... mind, body, soul and.... joy.

After years of treatments with many different estheticans, and looking for someone who provides the absolute finest in skin care I finally found Joy!  She has improved the texture, tone and health of my skin so much in just a couple of years.  I'm in my mid 50's and get nonstop compliments about the quality of my skin.  Joy has radically improved my skin through her variety of treatments.  She has taken a real interest in how my improvement has been and has made many very valuable suggestions which have had very positive outcomes for me.  Just recently my husband and I celebrated our 25th anniversary with professional photos taken in Hawaii.  These photos garnered nothing but compliments as to how young I look!
 
Thank you Joy for making my skin look so radiant!!

If you want your skin to look it's absolute best, go to Joy for her facials.  Lie back on her heated adjustable bed, listen to the soothing music, and rest assured that Joy, with her extensive training, medical grade products, and sophisticated equipment, will cater to your unique skincare needs.  While I love to focus on all the delicious sensations including Joy's gentle massaging touch, the fresh fragrances, the warm and cool towel presses, the dancing lights, and even the extractions, I truly enjoy our chats.  Joy's enthusiasm is contagious and I always learn so much from her.  After Joy's treatments you will be surprised and amazed at your healthy, radiant, and glowing complexion!

Joy is simply the best there is.   I have been coming to Joy for Brazilian waxing and facial treatments for more than 3 years.  Joy truly lives up to her name by ensuring that every treatment with her is a joyful experience.  She takes time to get to know you as a person and asks you about your life. I trust joy because she remembers my story, gives me a hug and provides exceptional service each time I see her.  She provides education around skin, hair and products and I always learn something new during my treatment.  She helps me feel better about myself and is passionate about making a difference in people’s lives.  She takes exceptional care with Brazilian waxing and I always leave her facials feeling refreshed.  Joy provides more than just exceptional treatments, she gives you an experience.

WOW! My husband and I cannot say enough good things about "Touch of Joy"!

We've been fortunate enough to have visited some amazing clothing-optional beaches and resorts in the Caribbean. Each time, before we go away, we make sure to get a "Brazilian" done at "Touch of Joy". Right from our very first visit, Joy has made us feel very comfortable and relaxed with her professional, yet fun, approach to hair removal. My husband was very nervous on his first visit, not knowing what to expect, but was calmed shortly after meeting Joy and talking with her. There is no greater feeling than strolling a white-sand beach, hand in hand, or swimming in the sea, enjoying the sensations of being "bald". Thanks, Joy, for making our good vacations great! We look forward to our next visit!

I have been a client of Joy's for almost three years, I started waxing as a way to get ready for a triathlon race and was so happy with waxing that I stayed with it. I find Joy to be profesional, efficient and enjoy's her work. I started with full leg and bikini and moved on to full brazillian waxing; and I can't imagine not waxing any more. I also notice more people checking out my legs now. Mostly her name says it all, "Touch of Joy"

Desmond, a happy client...

 

Hi Joy, I've been coming to you for over a year now and I just want to say what a difference I've seen in the appearance of the skin in my bikini zone. I have dark skin and one thing very common in dark skin is ingrown hair and dark bumps appearing as a result. I used to be very uncomfortable with this area and it's appearance. At first I was afraid of the procedure because in the past I found it painful and unpleasant. On my first visit Joy, you calmed me down with your gentle touch, pain free removal and professionalism, so much so coming every three weeks to a month was no longer something I dreaded. Now due to your dilligence, extractions and good care tips I am happy to say I no longer suffer from ingrowns or dark bumps. I am smooth, soft and sexy.
