Woodland Hills New Client Services: Pick the Right Starter Package
By Bird of Paradise Skin Therapy | August 7, 2026
Woodland Hills, CA | Serving Woodland Hills, Calabasas, Canoga Park, West Hills, Tarzana, Encino
A regular told us they’ve been coming for almost a decade because our approach isn’t “cookie-cutter.” That’s exactly what New Client Services are meant to solve. New client services are introductory packages for first-time visitors that usually include a real consult, a properly timed treatment, and clear aftercare guidance so you leave knowing what to do next. If you’re in Woodland Hills, especially around the Warner Center and Topanga Canyon corridor with easy 101 access, this guide will help you choose a starter that fits your skin, your schedule, and your comfort level.
New client packages are for people who want a plan, not a guess
Most first-timers aren’t looking for “a facial.” You’re usually trying to fix something specific. Breakouts that won’t quit. Congestion and big-looking pores. Hyperpigmentation from past treatments. Or you just want your glow back after a busy season, a hike, or too much sun in our Mediterranean climate.
And timing matters here. Woodland Hills commuters often need later appointments. Families need something that works around weekend routines. New client services are our way of getting you in, getting clear on what your skin is doing right now, and choosing the right first step without rushing or pushing product.
Quick reality check: if you’ve had “failed facials” before that left you with irritation, hyperpigmentation, or marks, your starter visit should be consult-heavy and measured. We slow it down and look at the full picture first.
Our “Best Place To Start” service, explained like we’d explain it to you
New Client In-Depth Consultation w/ Customized Treatement “Best Place To Start”
We start with a 30-minute consultation using the Vera Versa skin analysis machine, then we follow it with a facial built around what we see and what you’re trying to change. You’ll get a detailed report emailed within 48 to 72 hours, so you’re not relying on memory when you get home. This is where we map out what’s actually realistic for your skin, then we get to work with advanced techniques and equipment that match your current condition, not a preset menu.
Best for: first-time facial clients, anyone unsure what’s best for their skin, and anyone who wants clear steps they can follow at home after the visit.
If you’re comparing “starter massage package” or “new client waxing” options: we’re skin-first. If your main goal is brows or body services, tell us when you book so we can point you to the right appointment type and timing.
Real results we hear about: glow, clearer pores, less bloat, and better decisions
The most common pattern we hear is immediate visible change. People talk about skin that looks better right after the facial, like it got “brought back to life.” Hydration is a big one too, especially for anyone who spends time outdoors and ends up dehydrated from heat and sun.
We also see a lot of long-term improvement when you follow the plan. One client noticed a drastic improvement in skin appearance and overall health within 60 days after getting a clear direction on food, products, and habits. Another client came to us after years of facials that left hyperpigmentation and scars, then stayed because their pores stayed clean and the glow stayed consistent.
“The results speak for themselves, I’ve received countless compliments on my complexion.”

And if lymphatic drainage is part of your self-care routine, people regularly tell us they leave feeling lighter and noticeably less bloated. That “lighter” feeling matters when you’re trying to bounce back quickly after travel, a long week, or a big event.
How your first visit actually flows in our Woodland Hills studio
When you sit down, we start with a conversation that’s practical. What’s been working, what’s been irritating you, and what you’ve tried already. If you’ve had past reactions or you’re worried about pigment, we talk about that up front, then we choose the safest way to start.
For our “Best Place To Start” appointment, we use the Vera Versa skin analysis as part of the consult, then we move into a facial that matches what your skin can handle that day. We’re big on explaining what we’re doing as we go, then we wrap with simple at-home steps so you’re not overwhelmed.
Plan to arrive a few minutes early so we can get settled, especially if you’re coming off the 101 or swinging through Warner Center or the Topanga Canyon corridor.
Booking tips that save you time: 60 minutes is rarely “too long” for a first facial
How long should you reserve?
For a first facial, give yourself enough time for questions and education. Rushed appointments are where people end up confused. A consult-based starter is a smart move if you’re not sure what you need.
What to bring (and what not to do)
- Bring a quick list of products you’re using and any actives you’ve started recently.
- Avoid heavy tanning and aggressive exfoliation right before your visit if you can. Sun-stressed skin often needs a gentler start.
- If you’ve reacted to brow products, wax, or certain skincare before, let us know when you book so we can talk patch testing.
Why people stick with us for 11 years and still get excited for appointments
Bird of Paradise Skin Therapy has been here for 14 years. That matters because skin changes. Stress, surgeries, travel, hormones, seasons. We’re not here to make you feel bad if you fell off your routine. We’ll meet you where you are and get you back on track.
People tell us they trust us because we’re realistic and honest, and because we take our time. We also don’t build sessions around upselling. We’ll talk products and routines, but the point is effectiveness and affordability, not pressure.
“Honestly the most informed and comfortable experience as a man I’ve ever had.”

New client service FAQs we get all the time
What does a New Client Services package usually include?
It usually includes time to talk through your goals and your skin history, a focused consult, and a properly timed service that makes sense for day-one. With us, our starter option also includes Vera Versa skin analysis and a detailed emailed report within 48 to 72 hours, plus clear at-home guidance so you’re not guessing after you leave.
How long should I book for my first facial or massage?
If it’s your first facial, book enough time that we can talk and still do meaningful work on the skin. If you’re unsure, our in-depth consultation plus facial is the safest starting point because it builds the plan and the first service into one visit.
Do new client packages include a consultation and skin analysis?
Ours does. We use the Vera Versa skin analysis machine during your consultation, then we follow with a facial that matches what we see and what your skin needs right now.
Are there introductory discounts for new clients and how long are they valid?
Intro offers can change based on the season and what we’re running at the time. When you reach out to book, ask what new client options are active right now and we’ll walk you through what applies to your first visit.
Do I need a patch test or to avoid tanning before my first skin therapy appointment?
If you’ve had reactions before, especially with brow services, wax, or strong actives, let us know when you book and we’ll tell you if a patch test makes sense. And yes, try to avoid tanning and aggressive exfoliation right before your appointment. Sun-stressed skin usually needs a gentler start so we can keep your barrier calm.
