Sacramento Thursdays: Jenneane’s On J

I don’t ever remember a time in my life where I’ve had that perfect, dreamy porcelain skin.  Also, when I was younger, people used to tell me a despicable lie that went something like this: “Your skin will totally clear up when you’re older!” and “Just wait ’til you turn 20, everyone’s acne clears up in their 20′s!”

AU CONTRAIRE.

Recently, my normally fairly-clear skin has been acting a little cray-cray.  And while I teach middle school, I prefer NOT to have the skin of a middle schooler.  I started kicking around the idea of getting a facial, because I’m not normally into facials (TWSS?).  A friend of mine had told me about an aesthetician she’d seen, and just that day, I saw that another friend had become her fan on Facebook.  I’d like to stop for a second and say that I hate Fan Pages on Facebook, except for this very instance, because it seriously ended up being the best thing ever.

I will be forever grateful to Facebooks stupid fan pages now, because it led me to Jenneane’s on J.

I called Jenneane and she was incredibly vivacious and sweet on the phone.  I made an appointment, and was totally excited to go in the next week.  When I arrived, I was immediately impressed with how clean and cute her studio is.  It’s decorated adorably, and feels completely comfortable.  There are small touches that I paid attention to: the bathroom is stocked with little goodies, there’s chocolate available, and the music is awesome.  After working in massage for awhile, I grew to hate Enya and the like, and totally appreciated the fact that Jenneane plays music that is mellow but fun.

My facial was AMAZING.  In the past, facials have been painful or made my skin burn — nothing like that happened with Jenneane.  My face felt clean and light, and I saw results the next day.  My skin literally glowed.  I saw a steady improvement in my breakouts and after a few days, I could still see and feel such a difference.  Also, her prices are ridiculously reasonable, something that’s rare when working with salons.

Still, I think the thing that stood out above the cute decor and even my skin was Jenneane herself.  She is kind, FUNNY, smart and great at her job.  I walked out feeling like I’d made a new friend.  She laughed and talked and chatted and generally made for a fabulous experience that felt like girl time.

How do you know I *really* loved her?  I’m her Facebook fan.

So, if you’re a Sacramentan looking for a place for a facial, waxing or other service, I give Jenneane my HIGHEST recommendation.  Give her a call at (916) 444-2691.  I promise you won’t regreat it.
