CHEEKS + CO (@cheeks.co), the Old Town Pasadena–based skin care studio for in-the-know glow-getters, recently expanded its beauty empire with a new spa in West Adams. Founded by Christina (Tina) Uzzardi, who played a pivotal role in the rise of the beloved clean-beauty brand Ilia, Cheeks + Co is known for its advanced and accessible skin care treatments, ranging from waxing to facials. Uzzardi and her skilled team of aestheticians (aka glow-givers) are best known for their customized service, The Undecided. An expert evaluates a client’s skin and creates a personalized treatment using tools such as microdermabrasion, high-frequency wands and gua sha sculpting (the latter we highly recommend for a pre-wedding lift). “Facials are a form of self-care,” says Uzzardi. “We think of it as a luxury, but taking an hour out of your day to relax and replenish the biggest organ on your body is important to your well-being.” In keeping with this belief, Uzzardi has implemented an affordably priced monthly membership program to encourage routine skin care for the best results and the ultimate glow. Begin your pre-wedding skin care plan by choosing either the 60-minute Pamper Me facial ($136) or 90-minute Spoil Me facial ($199). And with two spas in the Los Angeles area—and more in the works—beautiful skin is right around the corner.
