I'm Lynn, founder and lead aesthetician at SASS SRQ in downtown Sarasota. Price is a fair thing to wonder about, and I want to say that upfront. There is no awkward moment in asking. My goal is to match you with the right treatment, not the most expensive one.
Facial spa pricing Sarasota clients see varies based on treatment type, session length, and what your skin needs that day. A basic facial costs less than a specialty treatment like microneedling or a chemical peel. Add-ons, skin condition, and session length all move the number. The best way to know your actual cost is to call and talk through your skin goals first.
Every facial I do starts with a skin consultation. From there, I choose the steps that fit your skin, whether that is deep cleansing, exfoliation, extractions, a mask, or something more targeted. For clients who are not sure where to begin, a signature facial is usually the right first step, because it gives me a complete picture of your skin before we build anything more specific. Nothing gets added without a reason. You are not paying for a menu I run through on autopilot. You are paying for a plan built around your skin that day.
Most clients are surprised by how many variables are in play. Below is what moves the number up or down.
A deep-cleansing or classic facial is the most accessible entry point. Specialty treatments like microdermabrasion, dermaplaning, microneedling, chemical peels, and HydraFacial involve more skill, more time, or professional-grade tools. If you want specifics, I cover chemical peel cost and microdermabrasion cost on their own pages. Those cost more, and for good reason.
A shorter express treatment costs less than a 60- or 90-minute session. More time means more steps, more attention to detail, and a more thorough result. On the Gulf coast, where sun damage and humidity build up over time, I often recommend giving your skin the full session when you can.
LED light therapy, high-frequency, gua sha facial massage, or a buccal massage can be added to many facials. Each add-on is its own line item. I will only suggest them if they genuinely fit your skin, not just to pad the bill.
If you are managing acne, hyperpigmentation, rosacea, or visible signs of aging, the right treatment may be more involved than a maintenance facial. Addressing a real concern takes more care and sometimes more product. I would rather tell you that upfront than underdeliver.
Some concerns, especially melasma or acne, respond better to a series of treatments spaced over time than to a single visit. A series may come with a different cost structure than booking one session at a time. It is worth asking about when we talk.
Below are the types of facials and skin services available at SASS SRQ. I am not listing dollar figures because the honest answer depends on your skin, your session length, and what you are trying to accomplish.
If you do not see your concern on that list, my full overview of facial treatments in Sarasota covers every service in more detail. There is a good chance I either offer it or can tell you honestly who in Sarasota can help.
I have seen studios post one price and then tack on fees at the end. That is not how I work. Skin is personal. A 45-year-old with sun damage from years on Sarasota's beaches has different needs than a 22-year-old managing breakouts. The same goes for brow work, where I explain microblading cost separately. Charging them the same flat rate does not serve either person well. Call me and I will give you a real number for what fits your situation.
Honestly, it depends on what you are expecting. A single facial will not erase years of sun damage or clear up persistent acne overnight. What a good facial will do is give your skin a thorough, professional-level reset that your at-home routine simply cannot replicate. Over time, consistent care adds up. That is what I tell every client who asks me this question directly.
Sarasota's climate is hard on skin. The sun is intense, the humidity is high, and if you spend time outdoors, near the water, or in and out of air conditioning, your skin is working hard. Regular professional care makes a real difference here, more than it might somewhere with milder weather.
The fastest way is to call me directly at (941) 354-9099. Tell me your main skin concern and what kind of treatment you are thinking about. I will give you an honest range and my opinion about what makes sense. If a simpler treatment fits, that is what I will tell you.
If you would rather browse first, you are welcome to do that. My booking page shows available appointments. But for pricing questions, a call gets you a real answer faster than any menu.
The cost depends on the treatment type, session length, and any add-ons that fit your skin. I do not post a single flat rate because it would not be accurate for everyone. Call me and I will give you a real number for what you are looking to do.
Different studios offer different levels of training, different tools, and different amounts of time per session. A longer session with a licensed aesthetician using professional-grade techniques costs more than a basic express facial. You are paying for the person doing the work as much as the treatment itself.
Aesthetic facial treatments are cosmetic, not medical. Insurance does not cover them. If you have a skin concern that may need medical attention, a dermatologist is the right place to start.
For most people, once a month is a good rhythm. Your skin renews itself on a roughly monthly cycle, so that timing lines up well. For specific concerns like acne or hyperpigmentation, I might suggest a different frequency based on what your skin needs.
You do not have to, but a quick call helps. If you tell me your main concern, I can point you toward the right treatment from the start instead of having you guess from a menu. It saves time and usually gets you a better result.
Yes. They involve more training, more time, and professional-level tools or products. The cost reflects that. They also target real concerns, so when they are appropriate for your skin, the investment tends to be worth it.
Tell me. A classic or deep-cleansing facial is a solid starting point and costs less than specialty treatments. I would rather fit you with something affordable that genuinely works than push you toward something you are not comfortable spending. We will find the right fit.
For some skin concerns, a series of treatments spaced over several weeks delivers better results than a single session. Call and ask about this. I will be honest about whether a series makes sense for what you are dealing with.
Yes, add-ons like LED therapy, high-frequency, or facial massage can be included. Each one is its own line item, and I will only suggest them if they genuinely fit your skin. I will tell you what each one adds to the total before we start.
Teen facials are tailored to younger skin and usually involve different steps and products than an adult treatment. If your teen is dealing with breakouts, my teen acne facial is built specifically for that skin at that age. The pricing reflects the actual service, so it may differ. Call and I will walk you through what is right for your teen's skin.
A HydraFacial uses a specific device to cleanse, exfoliate, and infuse the skin simultaneously. It is a distinct treatment with its own process and tools. A classic or signature facial uses manual techniques and may include different steps depending on your skin. Both have their place. Which one fits depends on your skin goals.
Yes. Men's skin has its own texture and concerns, especially around shaving and sun exposure. The facial I design for you is based on your skin, not a gender category. Everyone is welcome at SASS SRQ.
Come with clean or bare skin if possible. Avoid active exfoliants for a day or two before. If you are on any prescription skincare, let me know when you call. The more I know upfront, the better I can plan your session.
Yes. Call or book online. I work by appointment, Monday through Friday and Saturdays, so you will have a dedicated time that is just for you.
If you have questions about what a treatment will cost or which facial fits your skin, I am happy to talk it through. Call me at (941) 354-9099 and I will give you a straight answer.

Lynn is the founder and lead aesthetician at SASS SRQ Sarasota. Her approach: she listens before she recommends anything, and she'll tell you if something isn't worth your money.
Lynn has worked in aesthetics for over ten years and opened SASS SRQ downtown so clients could get focused, one-on-one skin care without the upsell pressure of a big salon.
She's trained in microneedling, chemical peels, and advanced waxing techniques, and she takes the time to explain what she's doing and why it fits your skin.
Before recommending anything, Lynn asks about your skin history, lifestyle, and what's bothering you most - then builds from there.
