Custom Facial in Columbia City, IN
A 60-minute facial that adapts to whatever your skin needs that day — clarifying when there's active congestion, hydrating when it's dry, calming when it's reactive.
Right here in Columbia City
Columbia City is the home location — Makaela's studio sits inside House of Style at 106 N Walnut St, the brick building near the Whitley County courthouse. Most clients are walk-in-distance or a short drive from anywhere inside the city. For Columbia City clients, parking is in the gravel lot in back, and the entrance is the back-left door with a ramp up to the second floor.
What to expect
The 60 Minute Custom Facial is Groovy Complexions' flagship service. The "custom" part is real: Makaela starts with a skin analysis under bright light, then chooses the products and time allocation based on what she sees. There's no fixed protocol — a client with active acne and a client with dehydrated dull skin both book the same service and walk out with very different experiences.
What stays consistent: a double cleanse, some form of exfoliation (manual scrub or chemical peel), steam, targeted extractions where appropriate, a mask matched to the day's priority, and a moisturizer + SPF finish. What varies: which cleanser, which exfoliant, how much extraction time, which mask, which moisturizer.
For first-time clients, the 60-minute version is the right pick because it includes time for the consultation conversation and the more thorough first-pass approach. For maintenance, the 30 Minute Custom Facial ($65) is a tighter version of the same protocol — quick cleanse, light exfoliation or mask, moisturizer.
Common reasons clients book a custom facial: regular skin maintenance, pre-event glow, hormonal acne management, hydration before or after travel, sensitivity flare-ups, and post-sugaring skin care.
Pricing: $95 for the 60-minute, $65 for the 30-minute. Add-ons available — see the full menu on the booking page.
Common questions
How is a custom facial different from an acne facial?
An acne facial is a custom facial leaning clarifying — same structure, different products and longer extractions. A "custom" booking lets Makaela decide which direction to lean based on what she sees that day.
How often should I get a custom facial?
Once a month for most clients. Every 6-8 weeks if your skin is stable and your at-home routine is solid.
Is the 30-minute version enough?
For maintenance appointments after your first 60-minute, yes — it covers the basics. For a first-ever appointment, the 60-minute is recommended because the consultation matters.
Do facials help with rosacea or sensitivity?
Yes — the custom format means Makaela can lean calming and hydrating for sensitive skin, skip the active acids, and focus on barrier repair. Mention rosacea or sensitivity at booking.
