Greer's OC

The first of its kind oxygen facial bar, facialworks just opened at Westcliff Court in Newport Beach. The concept is simple, they’ve taken the incredibly popular casual luxury bar concept and applied it to skincare. The result is a skincare experience unlike anything else. Guests are greeted with coffee, tea, or a glass of Champagne. As an alternative to the traditional treatment room, guests are seated at a 6-chair bar, and while services are performed guests can sip a glass of Champagne and watch a favorite movie.

The treatment itself is a hydrating "going out" facial that utilizes the power of hyperbaric oxygen machines to infuse a specially designed serum into the skin. The best part is the affordable price - $35 to start and it includes cleansing, exfoliation, masque, oxygen infusion and hydration. There is also a full line of products, from cleansers and masks to the latest growth factor technology.

Open 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday to Saturday; and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. 

facialworks is at 1727 Westcliff Court in Newport Beach. 949.877.1911.
