Carmel and Monterey, California

Holistic facials,
brought to your door.

I'm Melissa — a licensed esthetician and the hands behind Bridal and Event Glow-Carmel. I pack the whole treatment room into my car and give you a slow, deeply relaxing facial in the comfort of your own home.

My story

Skincare that feels like an exhale

After a decade of my own sensitive, reactive skin — and a long list of harsh treatments that made it worse — I trained as an esthetician to do things differently. Gently. Slowly. With plants.

Every facial I offer is built around lymphatic massage, gua sha and layered botanical actives. No stripping, no burning, no upsell. Just skin that looks calm, plump and genuinely healthy for weeks afterwards.

Because I'm mobile, you never have to sit in traffic to unwind, or rush out into the cold afterwards. You get to stay wrapped in your own blanket and simply drift off — which, honestly, most of my clients do.

How I work

The Bridal and Event Glow approach

I come to you

Table, linens, warm towels and music — your living room becomes the treatment room.

Botanical only

Plant-based, fragrance-conscious products chosen for your skin, never a one-size protocol.

Hands-on, always

Long lymphatic and gua sha massage in every facial. No rushing, no machines doing the work.

Skin, whole-body

We look at sleep, stress and hydration together — glow starts under the surface.

Ready when you are

Pick your facial and I'll bring the glow

Same-week appointments are usually available. Mon–Fri, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM.
