A tooth gem is only as good as where it came from.

A patient once told Layla our gems cost more than the shop down the road. Layla’s always been about community over competition, so she called that shop and asked where they got theirs. She figured she could bring her own prices down.

Their answer: a whole pack off Temu.

Ours are genuine Swarovski crystals from Tooth Kandy, the original tooth gem company in Los Angeles. They go on with a strong enamel bond, the same kind used for braces, so once it’s on, it’s on for years. Layla’s had hers for about five.

Want gold? Yellow, white and rose gold can be special ordered.

15 minutes in the chair. $80 for your first gem, $30 for each one after that. Call or text 612-770-0000 to book.

Botox is a brand name. Layla uses five.

I'm the guy who makes this account. In August I said the brand question was a whole other post. This is it, straight from my consult in July.

Botox, Xeomin, Dysport, Jeuveau, Daxxify. Same category, different products, and which one you get depends on you. Some people tell her they don't want anything to move. Her answer: "Great, we can do that."

For me she picked Xeomin, by Merz, because I'm male and have stronger muscles. And since it was my first time, she held back on purpose. "It's easier to add than remove."

Ask Layla which one is yours. Call or text 612-770-0000.

Owning a business will have you in the most random places, looking like you're in a toxic relationship.

Not a breakup text. Just the business, following Layla into a watch store.

Then the phone goes back in the bag, the smile comes back, and the shopping continues.

Small business owners, what's the most random place you've answered work from? Tell us below.

Our fall specials end Saturday, October 31. Call or text 612-770-0000 to book.

You saw day 0. You saw day 16. This is everything in between.

Layla's email in September said to follow Lindsey's Opus journey for her treatment, her healing and her results. This is the healing, one selfie a day.

Opus first, Pico minutes later. Then the week goes the way Layla describes it: the first day is just red, the second day "looks like a sunburn," and then it starts to settle in and dry off.

One thing to know. The flaking only comes with a high setting, and Lindsey asked Layla to go high. On a lighter setting, in Layla's words, it's "a little red, a little swollen like a sunburn for up to three days."

She went home with Rejuvalis Arnica Cream, made for the days after.

Alma Opus is on our fall specials through Saturday, October 31. Face and neck is $880, down from $1,320, and the chest is included.

Ask Layla what your week would look like. Call or text 612-770-0000.

The holidays are coming. The prep starts in October.

Thanksgiving and Christmas photos happen at the table, with everyone home. Getting ready for them happens weeks before.

In Layla's words, "this is that period right now where you're trying to kind of get ready for the holiday season."

Why the head start? On a lighter setting, most people look good in 24 to 48 hours. Go higher and the downtime runs longer, but the results are better. Time is what lets you go deeper.

Alma Opus, Pico Laser, VI Peel and laser hair removal are all part of our fall specials, and they end Saturday, October 31.

Opus first. Pico minutes later.

Lindsey had her Alma Opus, and a few minutes later Layla went in with the Pico. The redness you see is from the Opus. The Pico was for the color.

Layla explains it with a beige leather chair. The color from your clothes settles into it, and it sits deeper than the surface, so you can't just buff it out. In her words, "the laser is going in deep to catch that pigmentation."

Six days later, same profile, less color.

Pico Laser for the face and neck is part of our fall specials through Saturday, October 31, and the chest is included.

Think of injectables as enhancing your features, and resurfacing as improving the canvas underneath them.

That’s Layla’s line, from her fall note to patients. Botox softens wrinkles. Filler restores volume. Neither one can correct the actual texture, tone and quality of your skin.

That’s the canvas. Uneven pigmentation, texture, fine lines, enlarged pores, the dullness summer leaves behind. It’s a separate job, and it isn’t one or the other. If you already do tox or filler, you’ve been working on the features. When the skin looks smoother, clearer and healthier, your whole face can look more refreshed.

Alma Opus, Pico Laser and VI Peel are all part of our fall specials through Saturday, October 31. Book face and neck on Opus or Pico and the chest comes with it free. Laser hair removal is on sale too.

Call or text 612-770-0000 to book your skin reset.

Designer bags on the counter. Then the total comes up and it's the sales tax that's ridiculous.

Layla has heard this one more than once, and she has the face for it.

Nobody likes sales tax, us included. It isn't ours to keep and it isn't ours to skip. It goes straight to the state.

To be clear, this isn't aimed at anyone who asks about their bill. Ask away, we'd rather walk you through it than have you guess. And it isn't aimed at the bags either. Good taste is welcome here.

What's the smallest charge you've ever complained about? Be honest.

If you'd like to know what a plan costs before you're standing at the counter, start with a consultation. It's free, you get the full picture up front, and nobody gets talked into anything. Call or text 612-770-0000.

VI Peel is a very mild chemical peel, and it's where Layla likes to start.

A lot of people have a vision in their head but don't know how to get there. Layla's answer is to start with the skin itself. In her words, starting off with good skin is probably the best way to do it.

If your skin's been looking a little dull and you want some glow, this is the easy first step. VI Peel makes it for every skin type, and we carry three versions: Original, Advanced and Body. Not sure which one fits you? Ask when you call.

VI Peel is part of our fall specials through Saturday, October 31, with savings on Original, Advanced and Body.

A laser is not a human. It can’t tell what it’s looking at. All it sees is color.

That’s Layla’s line, and it’s the reason laser hair removal has a season. Hair is color. So is a tan. So is a spray tan. The laser can’t tell them apart, so if you come in tanner than usual, Layla has to turn it down or you wait for the tan to fade. A normal tan takes about ten days, and every wait pushes your finish line back.

It’s a series, about a month apart. Start in October, stay consistent, and you’re looking at March or April. That’s finished before summer.

Fall is when nobody is tan. Frankie booked in October. Pale has always been her thing.

Laser hair removal is part of our fall specials through Saturday, October 31, with savings on large, XL and full body areas.
