Colibri Day Spa's FAQs
Spending a day at the spa is an excellent way to relax and unwind. Doing so can also help you look and feel your best. If you want to visit Colibri Day Spa, you may have some questions. Here are the answers to some of our most frequently asked questions:
Facial FAQS
A facial is a professional treatment that cleanses, purifies, and beautifies the skin on the face and neck. Facials are the most popular treatments performed by estheticians. They are an excellent way to care for your skin. They also help you feel very refreshed. We recommend you receive a facial every four weeks, but your esthetician may suggest a more frequent schedule depending on your skin’s specific needs.
A mini facial lasts about 30 minutes. However most clients get a 60 to 90 minute facial treatment. You don't have to do much to prepare for a facial, but you may want to not schedule anything right after. A facial removes your makeup. A facial treatment will make you look and feel young and beautiful. You can expect to feel very relaxed and at ease. Your esthetician understands not only how to care for your skin, but also how to create a soothing environment. A facial includes makeup removal, cleansing of the skin, skin analysis, exfoliation, massage, extraction, and application of products.
Having a routine facial can help you age with grace and beauty. A professional facial will help prevent acne, reduce wrinkles, rehydrate your skin, and balance skin tone. If you are ready to receive the highest level of skin care, a facial at Colibri Spa is the perfect choice.
You can have a facial once per week if you’d like. Most of our clients have facial treatments every 2 to 4 weeks.
Getting a facial can be one of the best investments you can make. To keep your skin looking young and healthy, it is important to be consistent with your daily skin care routine. Be sure to properly cleanse and moisturize at least twice per day. And don’t forget the sunscreen.
Microdermabrasion is a type of exfoliation. When you receive microdermabrasion at Colibri Day Spa and Beauty Shop, we use high technology and safe tools to remove dead surface skin cells and start cellular turnover. Microdermabrasion began in the 1980s in Europe and was introduced to the United States in the late 90s. It is noninvasive and device-driven, making it technologically advanced and comfortable. It is one of the most popular services at day spas across the country. People seek microdermabrasion to remove dead skin cells, stimulate blood circulation, to revitalize collagen production, and to achieve smoother younger-looking skin.
Acne is the most common skin disorder, with about 85 percent of Americans experiencing it in their lifetime. While it is a common problem for adolescents, adults can experience it as well. Acne most often appears on the face, back, and chest. To treat less severe cases of acne, you can visit an esthetician at Colibri Day Spa. Our team will evaluate your skin to determine which treatments are most suitable for you. We use professional cleaning products that will cleanse and disinfect your skin, clearing away oil, bacteria, and dead skin cells. Consider trying the Hydra-Oxygen Facial and the Deep Pore Rescue Facial. High frequency and LED treatments can also be added for the best results.
Rosacea is another common skin disease. It causes various degrees of swelling and redness, primarily on the face. There are four grades of rosacea, ranging from mostly redness (grade one) to symptoms affecting the eyes (grade four). You can receive professional rosacea treatment for lower grades with an esthetician. At Colibri Day Spa, we can create a skincare plan specific to your rosacea. We use professional skin care lines designed specifically for individuals with rosacea to make sure each treatment is as safe, comfortable, and effective as possible.
At Colibri Day Spa in Sarasota, we have treatments designed with aging skin in mind. Our treatments can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and discoloration. Some of the treatments you can receive when you visit us include facials, microdermabrasion, and chemical exfoliation.
A professional skin care routine will greatly improve your skin tone and prevent signs of aging over time. Your skin will become more radiant and youthful looking. With regular facial treatments - you will always look your best. It will boost your level of self-confidence. When you look good, you feel good.
We recommend exfoliation every 3 to 4 weeks. At Colibri Spa, we offer premium treatments – including the Dermaplaning and Microdermabrasion Facials. If you exfoliate at home, please don’t over do it. It can cause skin problems and breakouts. The best rule is to be gentle, and avoid stripping the skin of its natural balance.
A chemical peel is another type of skin treatment for the face and neck area. A chemical peel is a safe treatment that dissolves the outermost layer of skin cells. When this layer is removed, a fresh and younger layer is revealed. This can help with a range of skin concerns, including the evening of skin tone, improving skin brightness, mild scarring, acne, sun damage, and aging.
Using a high quality eye cream on a regular basis (every night) can eliminate circles and puffiness. As an effective treatment, we recommend Dermalogica Stress Positive Eye Lift, or Dermalogica Intensive Eye Repair. Both of these products work very well. They are available for purchase at the spa, and at our online store.
During our facials, we target the areas just under the eyes. As we age, our tissues lose collagen and elasticity. Having a facial can correct and effectively treat dark circles. For a home care product, Dermalogica Super Rich Repair is an excellent choice.
RF Microneedling is a great way to boost collagen levels, tighten skin and remove fine lines and wrinkles. To learn more about our RF Microneedling services, click on our website link here.

Dermaplaning FAQS
Dermaplaning is an exfoliation service using a specialty tool to scrape away dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz). You will feel immediate results - smoother skin and a brighter complexion.
At Colibri Spa, we recommend Dermaplaning treatments every 3 to 4 weeks.
Absolutely not. It is painless and quite relaxing.
Dermaplaning leaves the skin incredibly smooth and baby soft. It allows for greater penetration moisturizers and serums. And applying make-up is so much easier.
Yes, but it doesn’t grow back darker or thicker – this is a myth. Any vellus hair will return over time the same as it was before.
After your Dermaplaning treatment, avoid direct sun exposure and wear sunscreen. Don’t engage in strenuous exercise. Refrain from using a washcloth, - use your fingers to gently cleanse your skin and then pat dry. An no make-up for the first 24 hours.
Waxing FAQS
Waxing is intimidating to some, but don't worry! When you visit Colibri Day Spa & Beauty Shop, you are in good hands. Our professional team of estheticians is highly skilled and gentle.
When you receive a wax, warm wax is applied to the area where you wish to have hair removed. Hard wax is used on delicate skin, such as the face, underarms, and bikini area. Soft wax is used on other areas of the body, such as the chest, back, arms, and legs.
Waxing your hair, rather than shaving, reduces hair growth when performed at a regular 30-day interval. Waxing pulls hair out by the root, so the hair grows back softer, thinner, and finer. The more often you wax, the less often hair grows back.
Brazilian waxing is a type of waxing for women that removes all pubic and labial hair from front to back. It leaves a sleek clean feeling, and it can help you wear a bathing suit with increased confidence. Even though Brazilian waxing removes all hair, you can request variations depending on your preferences. At Colibri Day Spa, we offer the best professional and most comfortable waxing services in the area.
You will have clean and smooth skin for 3 to 4 weeks.
Most common are the eyebrows, arms, legs, upper lip, and bikini area.
Not at all…just kidding. It depends on the individual and their personal tolerance level. Any pain during waxing is very quick and temporary. And it’s well worth it.
Yes. As your skin strengthens and the hairs become more fine and thinner, the discomfort level decreases. Waxing regularly makes everything a lot easier.
We recommend wearing loose clothing for your appointment. Nothing too tight that will rub against your skin. This will help prevent any post wax irritation.
Most clients come in for a wax every 4 weeks. This insures the very best results.
Permanent Makeup FAQS
Permanent makeup is a professional treatment that places special cosmetic pigments just below the dermal layer. It is a highly celebrated treatment for eyebrows, eyeliner and more. Permanent makeup can make your whole life easier. And it can be one of the best decisions you’ve ever made.
The best loved service is Digital Nano Hair Strokes. This is a really great treatment for the eyebrows. Clients also love the Upper Eyeliner treatment.
First of all, you’ll enjoy a free 30 minute consultation with the makeup artist to discuss your goals and needs. During this time she will review in detail and pre-draw your eyebrows or eyeliner to show which color, shading and shape works best for you.
Not as much as you think. In the beginning, you will feel a slight stinging or scratching sensation. Many of our clients actually fall asleep. To ensure you’re comfortable, the artist will apply a topical anesthetic to help numb your skin. Our goal is to help you be very relaxed and peaceful.
Permanent makeup is a very meticulous procedure when done the right way. With precision measuring tools, the artist will first map and draw the shape of your new brows. Next she will start implanting the selected pigment onto your skin with the specialty cosmetic device. You can just lay back and relax as she performs her expertise.
Our permanent makeup can last 2 to 3 years without fading, depending on your aftercare and skin type. At Colibri Spa, we only use the highest quality pigments to insure the very best results. When you love your brows - we are the happiest.

Microblading is a semi-permanent technique, as compared to Digital Nano Hair Strokes which is more permanent. Microblading requires more frequent touch-ups, and will last 6 months to 1 year. Digital Nano Hair Strokes is a better choice and lasts longer than traditional Microblading, And it looks more beautiful and natural.
Also known as the “second pass”, this service must be scheduled two weeks after your first visit. The perfection session is important because it promotes excellent pigment retention, and helps to create long-lasting results. During this session, the artist can fill in any areas that might have faded, or simply go darker or thicker than the first pass.
Keep in mind permanent makeup is a progressive treatment. It takes a little time to settle down and heal. At first, the makeup can appear crisp and defined. But after a while the pigments will soften and settle down. Give yourself a few weeks until you can really see the difference. Be patient, and make sure to follow your aftercare instructions.
Massage FAQS
A massage is the perfect answer you’ve been looking for. To relieve tension, stress, anxiety, and restlessness. A Relaxation massage will help you to relax deeply. Many clients fall asleep because it is so relaxing. A Deep Tissue massage will help to reduce and body aches and pain. When you working with a true professional, you will feel the difference right away.
When you first arrive at the spa, you will complete a short intake form - to help us learn about any specific needs you have (neck, shoulders, back). Next, you will go into a private room, where soft music and candles will make you to drift away to your relaxing space. With great skill, your massage therapist will work to heal your body, mind, and spirit.
If you are looking to be relaxed and less stressed - we recommend a Relaxation Massage every two to three weeks. Many clients schedule a massage right after work or on the weekend. To get relief from muscle tension and body aches, choose the Deep Tissue Massage once a week until your symptoms subside. Then maintain your health by getting a massage bi-weekly.
They are both the same…just a different name. A Relaxation massage involves slow, relaxing, light, rhythmic strokes on your back, shoulders, neck, arms, legs hands and feet. The main goal is to help you become very calm, relaxed, and peaceful. Additional benefits include improved circulation, enhanced mood, and better sleep.
With a Deep Tissue massage, a combination of targeted and broad strokes is used with medium to deep pressure, to alleviate muscle aches and reduce pain. Deep and sometimes direct pressure is applied to trigger points (knots in the muscle) to release adhesions and provide much needed relief in the deep muscle layer.
Speaking with your therapist at the beginning is very important - to express your goals and needs. But during your service we hope you can breathe deeply, relax and completely let go as you drift away to a state of pure bliss. A great massage therapist will always ask “how are you doing?” during the massage, and “is the pressure okay?” Let the massage therapist know if a certain area is feeling sensitive or uncomfortable during your session.
You can undress at the level you are most comfortable. Most clients get fully undressed to get all the benefits of a full body massage. You will be under a sheet. If you are more comfortable in your underwear, it’s okay. During your massage session you will be properly draped, and the therapist will only uncover the parts of your body being worked on.
A couples massage is one of the most popular spa treatments. It is a great way of sharing some quality spa time together. Two guests are massaged by two individual therapists, on two massage tables, in the same room at the same time. The couples massage is like a rhythmic dance, as both therapists work together in sync, relaxing your body and clearing your mind. You can enjoy a couples massage with your spouse, with a friend or a significant other.
