About Cathy Grisham

I have always been guided by kindness and care. I come from a large family and learned at a young age that everyone struggles, and everyone needs a friend.

When I was younger I struggled with acne for many years, I understand firsthand how frustrating this skin disorder can be.  It affected my self-esteem, feeling constantly down about my appearance. Those years stuck with me when I went to Esthetic school. As a Face Reality Acne Skin Care specialist, I will be coaching you throughout the whole process to help you tackle your acne head on, providing strong products, a personalized specific regimen and a balanced approach that’s not overly harsh. Professional in-office treatments speed the process and pretty soon, you won’t remember the humiliation of having acne anymore.  I can’t wait to help alleviate the skin issues that plague you. 

I’m an acne skin care specialist, and anti-aging expert. I can’t wait to care for you. I know together we can work towards a beautiful, healthy body and soul.

 A few fun facts about me:

I love chocolate. It is my very favorite treat.

I drink tea every day!

I come from a military family and have lived all over the world!

I love travelling, especially outdoors, with friends, family, and our dog.

I enjoy attending a local Bible study and our church with my son and husband.

  • Cathy is very sweet and personable! She also knows her stuff! I was in for a Skin Classic session. I had a few questionable areas that I wasn't happy with and Cathy was able to remove them. She explained what the areas of concern were, what she could for treatment, and what to expect during the healing process. I was so pleased! My skin looks wonderful! Thank you Cathy, you're the BEST!

    Rachel K

  • I had my first facial with Cathy, it was so relaxing. Cathy was friendly, knowledgeable and personable, which made me feel completely comfortable. The facial made my skin very soft and noticeably radiant afterwards. I also appreciate how Cathy followed up with a phone call to see how my skin reacted to the facial. I would highly recommend this place for a great spa experience.

    Deb C.

  • I received a package treatment with Cathy. It was a one hour massage with a half hour facial. You can tell Cathy has been doing this for a while, she has really perfected her craft. I like that she gave me the option to either tell me step by step everything she would do or just let me relax and enjoy the treatment. I would highly recommend getting a treatment from her.

    Megan B.

  • I recently had the pleasure of visiting Cathy Grisham at Topeka Spa Retreat. Cathy has a very quaint and inviting setting that promotes relaxation. Cathy preformed a standard facial that was much more relaxing than what I would call standard. I was so happy with the skin results from the facial that I discussed a sebaceous hyperplasia that was on my forehead. Cathy had asked about it and I explained that it had been there for years. She succesfully removed this as well as a few red spots around my eye area. I definitely reccomend all of Cathy's services. Give her a call!

    Tonya T

  • The Queen Bee Facial, Gau-sha, Neck stretch. Where to begin !? First time client, and it was next-level amazing! No detail was spared to provide a luxurious facial. Cathy was incredibly hospitable and focused on my comfort and relaxation. The hot towels and expert massage techneique will not disappoint! 10/10
