Pumpkin Spice season is here 🧡 ✨
And she’s baaack! And better than ever ✨
The stars of this facial 🌟
✨ Pumpkin Glycolic Peel + the Marshmallow Whip Hydrating Mask ✨
The Pumpkin Glycolic Peel revitalizes the skin using the stimulating glycolic action of Bilberry + Clove to accelerate cell turnover, promoting a more youthful appearance. Antioxidant-packed Pumpkin actives stimulate cell renewal, lift discoloration, and diminish the appearance of large pores. 🧡
The Marshmallow Whip Hydrating Masque delivers a complex blend of hydrating ingredients to infuse critical hydration into the skin while delivering healing and soothing botanicals to improve the overall health of the skin.✨
And to start this facial I’m adding an aromatic journey using clove + orange to cleanse the mind, awaken the senses and set the intention 🍊✨
Perfect to get into that fall mindset and get your skin ready for all the Texas weather changes (and for Halloween! 🎃) ✨

✨New Menu Pt. 2 ✨
✨ The Rx Facial ✨
I wanted to have a facial treatment that both relaxed the mind and eased the body while also treating your skin’s needs ✨
Using hydro + oxygen infusion and skin specific serums to get your skin glowing while relaxing essential oils take you on a sensory journey to relaxation with of course some massage ✨
Every Rx Facial comes with
• A skin analysis and double cleanse to remove any makeup, dirt and debris
• An aroma sensory journey using calming essential oils to relax the mind
• Hydro • Infusion that uses skin specific serums to address skin needs while gently exfoliating
• Extractions (if needed)
• Oxygen Infusion to rejuvenate and detoxify the skin
• A relaxing scalp, shoulder, neck, arm and hand massage
• A masque mixed for your skin’s needs
• Skin specific serum and moisturizer
• And of course SPF protection always!
Of course this facial also includes your face, neck and décolleté so your skin is healthy and bright from top to bottom✨
Other add-on treatments like High Frequency, LED Red Light Therapy and Microdermabrasion can be used interchangeably in this facial as well and that’s determined during skin analysis ✨
And that’s the menu for facial treatments✨ I wanted to create ease in booking by having two customizable facials. One that’s customized and product focused while the other is enhanced with the use of different machines.
Books open soon ✨ There’s still more to come… ✨

THE GLOW ✨
For this babe we did the Pomegranate Refining Peel + the Hydro•Infusion treatment to achieve this glow ✨
✨ Pomegranate Refining Peel:
Pomegranate + Malic Acid work ingredients synergistically to exfoliate the outermost layer of the skin, promote cell turnover, brighten complexion and unclog pores.
✨ Hydro•Infusion:
This skin treatment utilizes hydrodermabrasion to exfoliate and deep clean the pores while condition-specific serums are infused into the skin. Followed by a rejuvenating oxygen infusion to detoxify hydrate the skin.
TLDR: This treatment was customized for the GLOW ✨

Hydrated, stimulated and glowing ✨
Esthis! We need to remember to treat ourselves, too 👏🏻
One of my fave esthis needed to treat herself and her skin ✨🤍
We did a Hydro•Infusion with a Hyaluronic Booster + Peptide Booster to give her some much needed hydration and life back to the skin ✨
Her skin is a bit on the sensitive side but Hydro•Infusion can be safe even for sensitive skin!

I think it’s time to put a face to the name ✨
My name is Hannah and I’m your alt esthi bestie 🖤
I’ve been in the beauty industry for 13 years (I can’t believe it’s been that long 😳). I started out in cosmetology school and pursued makeup artistry once I graduated. From there I worked in makeup and skincare for 6 years. Working in makeup and dealing with my own hormonal skin issues is really what lead me to my love for skincare and pushed me to go back to school.
I graduated from The Aveda Institute with my license in esthetics and I’ve been a licensed esthetician for 5 years now! ✨🖤
I started The Alternative Way cause I wanted to have a space where anyone and everyone could feel comfortable and not feel judged or feel like it was a stuffy place where I’m there to just sell people something. I want to make real connections with you while treating your skin with the best ingredients and result driven treatments (and a nice nap while I work my magic). ✨🖤
A little bit about me personally ✨
Aries ☀️ Scorpio 🌙 Leo ⬆️
(Yes it’s chaotic lol iykyk)
I’ve lived in Texas all of my life and I come from a small town down south🤠
I’m married to the most amazing and supportive person in the world and we share a very scruffy pup together 🤍
I love anime and manga and I’m also a bit of a horror movie fanatic.
I look forward to meeting y’all and taking care of your skin 🥰
