By Forbes Staff: Alicia Adamczyk

With a nail salon on every corner seemingly offering the luxury service, it appears the facial has gone mainstream. But according to estheticians and skincare specialists, you might want to think twice before you allow just anyone to zap away blackheads and massage argan oil into your pores.

To start, Andrea DeSimone, a New York-based esthetician who specializes in organic and all-natural treatments and owns Andrea DeSimone Skincare, encourages customers to do their research ahead of time to guarantee they’ll find their perfect treatment.“I wouldn’t just go anywhere, I would take the time with all the social media we have at our finger tips, search somebody, do a little bit of detective work,” DeSimone says.

She suggests scoping out Yelp, getting a referral from a friend, or simply calling the spa and talking to the receptionist. “You often get a good feel of the type of place it is when you speak with someone.”
