Welcome to Custom Facials by Anna! 

Hello, my name is Anna Wagner—thank you for visiting the Custom Facials by Anna Web site!  As a professional esthetician and massage therapist, I work with clients just like you every day—people working to juggle the demands of career, family, school, and more.  The pace of life is fast—faster than ever.  That’s why it’s more critical than ever to take the time to take care of ourselves.  That’s what Custom Facials by Anna is all about! 
 

Who is Custom Facials by Anna? 

It’s me!  I’m a native San Franciscan, but my family and I have called Houston home for many years.  I can certainly relate to my clients’ busy, full lives because life with my husband and my two dogs is full speed ahead.  With our parents, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, and cousins in the Houston area, there’s never a dull moment!  When I’m not working with clients, I enjoy cooking big, fun meals for my extended family—my Mexican shrimp cocktail is legend!  I also love to travel everywhere from the ski slopes of Colorado to the beaches of Cancun.  And my passion for my craft is full-time.  I’m always researching and sampling the latest face and body care products.  It’s an obsession, really, but a good one, I think.  When I discover something new that really works, I can’t wait to share it with my clients! 
 

What is Custom Facials by Anna? 

Well, in a word—it’s my dream.  At the outset of my career, I practiced my profession in large salons and spas.  And while the experience was immensely valuable, I always felt a certain frustration that I wasn’t allowed to provide the level of personal service I trained for and that my clients truly deserved.  The only way I could give my clients the time and attention they really wanted, was to risk going out on my own—to risk starting my own business. 

So, that’s what I did! 

Now, Custom Facials by Anna is a reality.  It’s a place where you can relax, unwind, and enjoy the level of personal service you deserve but can’t always find at the mega-salon or the super-size spa.  My philosophy is a simple one:  treat each client like a member of my extended family, and always exceed expectations.
