75 Minute | Custom Sculpt & Lift Facial

FOR VISIBLE LIFT AND A MORE DEFINED JAWLINE

$178.00

Booked in studio at 355 Third Street, Laguna Beach

A more sculpted, defined looking jaw and cheekbones

Tension released through the jaw, neck, and shoulders

Seventy five minutes of hands on lifting work

Description

A fully customized 75 minute facial designed to visibly improve tone, reduce puffiness, and release built up facial tension through advanced hands on techniques.

Each session is tailored to your skin’s needs that day, with focused attention on where you personally hold tension and where your skin needs the most support. By working intentionally through the jaw, cheeks, neck, and areas of congestion, this treatment helps soften tightness and create a more sculpted, defined appearance.

This extended session allows for deeper manual work and visible refinement, without shifting into structural or method based treatment.

About This Service

If you want visible lift and more definition through the jaw and cheekbones, this is the session built to deliver it.

What separates this from the 60 minute Custom Signature Gua Sha Facial is the stone. This session does not use it. You get fifteen more minutes instead, and your clinician works the face, neck, and shoulders by hand throughout.

Every session includes a double cleanse, exfoliation and extractions, and time on the grounding mat. Optional add-ons are available if you want them: defuzzing, ozone steam, red light therapy, a high-frequency wand, and scalp massage.

What customers tell us afterward is that the jaw and cheekbones look more defined, and that the whole area feels lighter than when they came in.

What to Expect

Arrive a few minutes early so you can settle. Your session opens with a short conversation about your skin and how you have been feeling, then you are on the table for the rest of the time.

You are on the grounding mat throughout. Most of the seventy five minutes is hands on sculpting and lifting work through the face, neck, and shoulders.

You can talk or you can rest. Both are welcome, and there is no right way to spend the time.

Afterward your clinician will tell you what she noticed and mention anything that might suit your skin. Take what is useful and leave the rest.

Selah’s service is rejuvenating!

I’m very intentional about who I trust with my skin, and Selah is one of those people I feel completely safe with.

She’s not only amazing at what she does, but she really listens and customizes everything to what your skin actually needs. My skin has improved so much since seeing her, and I always leave feeling relaxed, taken care of, and glowing.

Ann Marie,

Thank you for sharing about your experience with Selah. We are so glad to hear that you leave feeling relaxed, taken care of, and glowing! We appreciate you trusting us with your skin and are so glad that you feel rejuvenated. We look forward to seeing you back in the Studio soon!

A truly relaxing, effective facial!

My facial with Danielle was SO relaxing and SO much more than a typical facial. I was amazed by my before after photos and what a difference the gua sha and facial massage made in reducing the wrinkles on my forehead! She’s very knowledgeable about how your facial muscles work and how to truly relax them to make you look your best. I also loved the grounding mat on the treatment table - you can’t help but feel totally relaxed laying on that thing!

Hi Jennifer! Thank you for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review. We're so happy to hear that your facial with Danielle was not only relaxing but also effective.

Treat Yourself to the Most Amazing Facial

I have seen Danielle and Selah for the Sculpt and Lift Facial several times. Each time has been such a treat, from start to finish. The ambiance of the Studio is lovely (music, diffusers, candles). You lay on a heated PEMF mat during your facial, which relaxes every single muscle in your body. I have fallen asleep many times during my facials at By Karisse. The massage, the clean products, and the techniques used during these facials makes such a difference in the way my skin looks and feels. I have had facials before, but I never felt like my skin looked or felt different for very long. That is the opposite of my experience at By Karisse - my skin visibly looks younger and healthier for weeks. I love that the products that are used are clean and gentle. Danielle and Selah are so gifted at their craft and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Hi Ashley, thank you for sharing such a detailed and wonderful review. We are delighted to hear about your positive experiences with Danielle and Selah, and that our ambiance and treatments meet your expectations. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Best facial ever

I got this facial twice within two weeks after having surgery in hopes of just feeling better and a little more rejuvenated. It did so much more! It is the best thing ever because it’s like a facial and a massage and the technique is so crazy because you can really feel things happening in the moment. The first time I went, when Selah was massaging above my nose on my forehead, I could feel this sensation in my cheeks! It felt like things were actually moving and draining. The second time I went, when she was massaging the top of my shoulders, it felt as if there was more “movement” and like my skin was less restricted or “stuck”. I also had this puffiness in my armpits.. kind of felt like big lumps, but not hard or anything. I was a little worried about them but after the first facial that puffiness decreased dramatically and even more after the second one! My arms also felt skinnier afterwards!! Selah did such a good job. Oh and also everything smelt so good and when I took a picture after,my skin was glowing and my neck looked more defined and less puffy!highly recommend!

Hi Rita, thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience! We're delighted to hear that you felt the benefits of the MACSL Lymphatic Facial and enjoyed the treatment with Selah. Your detailed feedback truly means a lot to us. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Her touch is truly amazing gentle, intuitive, and deeply healing. She is a beautiful soul, inside and out. After my first session with Selah, not only did my face feel rejuvenated, but my whole being felt calm and at peace. I had such a wonderful experience—my skin was glowing, refreshed, and visibly more lifted and toned even after just one session.

Vida,

Thank you for your kind and heartfelt words about your experience with Selah. We are so glad that you took the time to be taken care of with a facial. We love that you felt calm and that you left with skin that was glowing! We look forward to having you in the Studio again soon!

I saw Selah for the facial and it was absolutely

I saw Selah for the facial and it was absolutely lovely. Not like any facial I had before. She took time to talk to me about my skin and where I want to see improvement. She made a custom mask for me and explained why she was choosing the products she chose. The products are amazing by the way. They smell so good! The face message was out of this world. I can see such a difference in my before and after photos. I’ll definitely be back.

Sarah,

Thank you for sharing your experience with Selah. We are so glad to hear that you had such a positive experience and that you felt heard and cared for while you were here! We also love that you saw positive results from your facial! We look forward to seeing you in the Studio again soon!

Exceptional!

I had a feeling I would like my facial with Selah but I left pretty much speechless....what an experience. I drifted in and out of dreaming and felt complete and utter peace and relaxation from start to finish. She's a gifted esthetician and I can't imagine a better experience. The ambiance, setting, and service were exactly what I needed and I'll be a regular customer from now on.

Hello Spencer,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with Selah and your facial. We are so glad that you had a peaceful and relaxing time. We love Selah too and look foward to seeng you in the facial room again!

Best facial I ever had!

Shiloah first is so amazing! She was prompt and ready to spend an hour of pure relaxation and treatment for my face. She took the time to explain every step and customized my facial specifically for my needs. I have had many facials in my life but this one by far was the very best! Book your facial as soon as you can, you won’t be disappointed!

Dear Rachel,
Thank you so much for this glowing review! We’re thrilled to hear your facial with Shiloah was the best you’ve ever had. Your kind words mean the world to us, and we couldn’t agree more—everyone deserves to experience a facial with Shi! We can’t wait to welcome you back for more relaxation and radiant skin.

Glowing

I had my first Sculpt and Lift facial with Shiloah. Her products and techniques left my skin nourished, plumper and glowing. I love the Liquid Layer mist and Anti-Aging Oil for my face and the Healing Oil is something I use on my arms for those dry bumps I get on the back of them. Even though I came in for a facial, my whole body was relaxed by the special heated mattress on the facial bed and Shi’s peaceful demeanor. Shi is not only a talented technician, she is sweet, thoughtful, kind and absolutely adorable! I’ll be seeing her again.

Dear T.S.
Thank you so much for your glowing review! We’re so happy to hear your experience with Shiloah was not only skin-transforming but also deeply relaxing. It’s also wonderful to know our Liquid Layer, Anti-Aging Oil, and Healing Oil are supporting your skin beyond the treatment room. We can’t wait to welcome you back for your next facial!

Beyond Skincare: A True Reset

I had the absolute pleasure of receiving the 60-minute Gua Sha Facial with Danielle at the new Facial Atelier—and it was nothing short of transformative. From start to finish, the experience was deeply relaxing, professional, and truly restorative. Danielle has such a warm, friendly presence and an intuitive touch that made me feel both at ease and completely cared for. Not only did I leave with glowing, lifted skin, but I also gained a better understanding of how to support my skin’s natural rhythms. It was more than a facial—it was a full-body exhale. I can’t wait to go back!

Dear Rebecca,

Thank you so much for your beautiful words! We’re beyond grateful you chose to experience the Signature Gua Sha Facial with Danielle—your reflection captures exactly what we hope each visit feels like: a reset, a reconnection, and a moment of true care. Danielle will be so touched by your kind feedback. We're thrilled you left glowing and empowered with new ways to nurture your skin. We can’t wait to welcome you back to the Facial Atelier soon!

Pure luxury!
Fabulous Facial with incredible results!

I loved my Signature Gua Sha facial that I had at By Karisse recently. The room was beautiful and relaxing. I loved the organic products that were used during the facial, they were all non-toxic, preservative free with top quality essential oils that smelled and felt so divine.
I noticed a significant before and after difference too. I had more color to my skin and the puffiness had definitely improved. There was more of a lift and the tension in my face was certainly reduced.
I’ll be going back for more!

Thank you so much for your kind review! We are thrilled to hear that you had a fabulous experience with our Signature Gua Sha facial and your skin's color and puffiness showed noticeable improvement. Our team takes pride in using only the best organic products and techniques to give our clients incredible results.

Exceeded expectations!

My facial experience was the most relaxed I have felt in a long time. It was the ultimate self-care for not just my skin but also for my overall wellness. They have the most amazing heated, PEMF grounding mat of crystals that adds to the overall experience. It was the exact self-care that my mind, body and face needed!

Hi Lindsay,
We are thrilled to hear your facial experience exceeded your expectations. Our goal is to make your skin, body and mind feel nutured, rested and refreshed and so glad we could provide that for you. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Amazing facial!!

This was such a good facial. Danielle did such a good job and was so sweet. I loved how my skin felt so soft and clean after. I’ve had other facials before, but this one was different! I could really feel the muscles in my face, relaxing, and the tension just disappearing! It was really nice to get a facial with all clean products. I didn’t have to worry about having any weird reactions because I do have sensitive skin!

Dear Rita,

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a wonderful experience with Danielle and that your skin felt soft, clean, and refreshed afterward. Gua Sha is such a powerful technique for releasing facial tension, and we love that you could truly feel the difference!

It’s especially rewarding to know that our clean, gentle formulations gave you peace of mind with your sensitive skin—your comfort and confidence are always our priority. We appreciate your support and can’t wait to welcome you back for another relaxing session!

Relaxing & Rejuvenating!

The room was decorated so beautifully and set the tone for peacefulness. The cozy space to talk about skin concerns before the facial was a unique feature from other facials I’ve had. The warm bed with the special grounding mat elevated the experience! Shiloah was incredibly sweet, calm, knowledgable, and she perfected the amount of pressure when massaging my face. Every product that was applied on my skin felt and smelled amazing! I truly enjoyed the extra massage of my arms and back/neck while resting with a face mask on. Shiloah seemed to be pushing out all the puffiness stored in my facial glands and loved every minute of it! It was extremely relaxing and I left with hydrated and rejuvenated skin! I HIGHLY recommend getting this facial!

Dear Erica,

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and glowing review! We’re delighted to hear that your experience was both relaxing and rejuvenating—exactly what we strive for. Our goal is to create a peaceful and nurturing space where your skin concerns are heard and addressed, so it means the world that you appreciated the cozy consultation area and grounding elements of your facial.

Shiloah will be so happy to hear your kind words about her care and expertise! She takes great pride in providing a thoughtful and personalized experience, and we’re thrilled that the sculpting and massage techniques left you feeling refreshed and restored.

We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back for more moments of relaxation and self-care!

Complete Relaxation!

My facial with Shiloah was wonderful! Her calming energy and knowledge could be felt throughout the entire service. My favorite part was the Gua Sha and the face/head massage! I felt like it was a facial unlike most traditional facials I’ve received as the focus was on more than just my skin.
I can’t wait to go back! This will definitely be something I work into my self care routine!

Lauren, thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that your facial with Shiloah was so relaxing and unique. Her calming presence and expertise truly make each treatment special. We love that you enjoyed the Gua Sha and face/head massage—caring for the skin goes beyond the surface! We can’t wait to welcome you back as part of your self-care routine.

Great experience

I’ve only had a couple facials in my life so I wasn’t sure what to expect. It turned out to be so relaxing I fell asleep. The red light/magnetic negative ion mat you lay on was incredibly relaxing. The esthetician was calm and kept me informed on each of the steps during the facial so I wasn’t left wondering or confused on what she was doing. I’m very happy with the experience and results.

Thank you, Spencer, for sharing your feedback on our facial. We are so glad to hear it was an incredibly relaxing experience! We hope you'll be back soon for another wonderful treatment with our talented estheticians.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Need more information? You can find it right here.

What happens in a 75 minute Custom Sculpt and Lift Facial?

Your clinician looks at your skin, asks how you have been, and builds the session around what she finds. Every session includes a double cleanse, exfoliation and extractions, and time on the grounding mat. Most of the seventy five minutes is hands on sculpting and lifting through the face, neck, and shoulders.

How is this different from the Custom Signature Gua Sha Facial?

Two things. This one does not use the gua sha stone, and it runs fifteen minutes longer. That extra time goes into hands on sculpting and lifting. Inclusions are identical for both, so the choice really comes down to whether you want the stone.

Which of the two should I choose?

If you like the feel of the stone and want the shorter session, book the 60 minute Custom Signature Gua Sha Facial. If you would rather have longer, fully hands on sculpting work, book this one. If you are still unsure, book either and say so when you arrive.

What is included?

Assessment and customization, a double cleanse, exfoliation and extractions, and grounding mat time for the length of your session. Products are chosen for your skin on the day rather than set in advance.

Can I add anything to my session?

Yes, if you want to. Defuzzing, ozone steam, red light therapy, a high-frequency wand, and scalp massage are all available as optional add-ons. Your clinician will mention what might suit your skin, and you are welcome to decline any of it.

How often should I book?

Most customers settle into something like every four to six weeks, and many notice that results build with a rhythm rather than a single visit. That said, one facial is a perfectly good reason to come in. There is no schedule you are supposed to keep.
