I highly recommend Rita and all her services! I've been going to her for about 7 years and always walk out GLOWING! And she has a lovely bedside manner! read more

About Face by Rita - Just got an amazing treatment with Rita! She can make your skin GLOW! - Skin Care Near Me - Seal Beach, California

RIGHT ON, RITA! EYEBROWS ARE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT & I am new here in LONG BEACH and desperately needed an eyebrow specialist. I happened to meet a beautiful lady w/ beautiful, flawless skin named RITA (@the GARDEN CHURCH), an Esthetician for 30 yrs, ( how can that be? She looks 30!) She did tinting, waxing, and shaping absolutely superbly! I am thankful to say I can cross esthetician off my list of people, places & things! read more

Best. Facial. EVER! Granted I don't have a whole lot of experience to compare to, but it was such a wonderful relaxing experience. I opted for the signature facial, which included extractions, and added the pumpkin peel. Previous extractions have left my face feeling like hamburger meat, but Rita's skilled technique was surprisingly gentle. Perhaps the papaya enzyme prep made the difference. Onto the pumpkin peel: felt energizing and smelled amazing! Finishing up with a moisturizing shoulder, arm, hand massage along with a moisturizing mask and facial massage, I walked out of there feeling like a million bucks! Bonus is her energy being so pleasant and healing. She is definitely my go-to for facials and I already have my next facial scheduled. read more

I have been a client of Rita's for over 15 years now. I have suffered from acne scarring for many years and I had given up hope for any affordable procedures that would help the appearance of my skin..until now!! Thanks to Rita and the Procell Therapy Treatment she now offers, my hope has been restored. I have just completed my 4th session and I couldn't be happier. The procedure, which helps deliver stem cell serum is pretty simple but delivers incredible results. My skin looks amazing! The scarring has improved dramatically and the fine lines that come with age are less noticeable. My family & friends have also been asking "what have you been doing to your face, it looks so healthy and you look much younger"? Thank you Rita for the many years of great service and for turning me on to the Procell Theraphy! read more

I received the most wonderful pumpkin microdermabrasion facial today by Rita. It can feel a little unnerving going in for services like these during a pandemic. However, I'm so thankful for skin care professionals like Rita. Rita did a terrific job of clearly communicating her new health protocols. I felt comfortable, safe, and relaxed and boy does my skin look good!. I've missed that post facial glow. Thank you Rita! read more

For those who like to see an esthetician that keeps up with the latest advances in skin care, uses natural products, AND offers excellent service, Rita is for you. Rita has created her own line of products. By using them regularly for the last 17 months and seeing Rita once a month, my pores have shrunk in size, my skin texture has improved, and my skin has never looked so great! (One drawback to this great service is that I wake myself up snoring when she's working on me.) She also sculpts my brows and takes care of all the necessary waxing that keeps me looking feminine instead of -- ahem -- like a Muppet, let's say. Bear in mind that About Face by Rita is no longer located inside Chill Salon & Gallery. Thanks to Belmont Shore Natural Care (i.e., one those pot dispensaries that got run out of town when the City of Long Beach decided to make them illegal), everyone got kicked out of the building they were renting -- the Pilates studio, the hair salon, the estheticians, etc. Now Rita's located around Colorado Avenue & Redondo Avenue inside Soul Spa and Chiropractic on 341 N Redondo Ave. Just in case you were wondering where she went! read more

I've been to Rita off and on for the last 2 years and I absolutely love her. Not only is she one of the biggest sweethearts you've ever met but she knows her stuff and knows what she's doing. Her skincare line is amazing and I can honestly say that I've tried too many expensive lines (ie. Lancome, Clinique etc.) and remained unhappy. Rita has helped to reverse the problems I've been having with my skin for quite sometime. Rita has genuine concern for her clients overall health and skincare health. She's always checking in to see that you're well and that your stress levels are low because she understands the effects that everyday stresses have on our bodies and skin. She's a must see for skin care... She also does waxing and airbrush tanning. Check her out! read more

This is the B E S T way to pamper yourself! Rita has a gift. In her touch, her care, and her knowledge. I'm a California native. I grew up in the sun. A swimming pool in the backyard of my childhood home, sailing, surfing, and more, I"m sun damaged now! Rita's skin care treatments have kept my skin healthy and lookin young! Rita is also such a genuine and kind human being. Who doesn't want that kinda person touching them? :) read more

Love this place! Super charming and Rita is an absolute gem. My skin is glowing! The microdermabrasion with pumpkin scrub has refreshed my skin tremendously! Waxing and brows too! I am hooked! Update! I have been using the pumpkin scrub for a week and my skin is better than ever! Thank you Rita! read more

About Face by Rita - My new skin care regime via About Face products! - Skin Care Near Me - Seal Beach, California

I have been going to Rita for nearly two decades. Even when I moved away from California I would schedule appointments with her over the holidays. She is very good at what she does. If I could give her 10 stars, I would. My skins looks and feels completely refreshed when she is done. read more

I have been seeing Rita for over ten years. Coincidentally people tell me I look ten years younger than my actual age. Thanks to Rita!

I received a gift certificate from a friend for a birthday present three and a half years ago and have been seeing Rita regularly ever since. I love the way she takes care of my skin, the way it feels and looks after I leave and the ritual of all the different lotions and scents and steps of the facial. It's just a great overall experience. read more

I have been going to Rita for a long time for facials and microdermabrasion. She's super sweet, honest and beautiful. She's amazing at what she does and being in her presence is heart-filling. I love that you can ask her to create a customer plan based on your skins needs and your budget- she will put options out there for you. I had 6 microdermabrasion treatments last year (once a week for 6 weeks) and my skin has never looked better or been more glowy! I got so many compliments and I could see my fine lines getting smaller!! I'm doing another 6 in a row this fall and can't wait to see even more benefit. Come see Rita- sees got something for everyone! read more

Rita has magical hands and a warm soul. She does an amazing job assessing your skin with a non-judgemental tone and creating a plan for you to ensure you can continue caring for your skin at home. I never worried much about my skin, but now that I'm 30 it's time to invest in it! I'm so glad I found Rita. My face is in good hands! She hooked me up with some products that I love, and now I'm sure to preserve my youthful skin as long as possible. Thanks Rita! read more

Amazing treatment. Highly recommend the facial treatment for active men. Love the products that Rita recommends.

I was referred to Rita by my hair stylist and I am so happy I made an appointment. The reviews are all accurate! Rita was warm and welcoming and the place was cozy and comforting. Her firm yet relaxing touch was perfect for me and she is very knowledgeable about skincare. My skin was glowing after I left there!! You can tell she loves what she does and it reflects in the care she gives. I tried samples she provided of her medium weight moisturizer and sunscreen and they feel so wonderful on my skin I'm going to get more. I tested the sunscreen out SUPing and it works beautifully! I made an appointment for the procell therapy and I can't wait to do that. I am thrilled I found a skin care gal near me! read more

I'm an Esthetician but we esthys also need professional facials done. Yesterday I went to Rita and let me tell you she truly has a gift! My skin looks and feels amazing. I highly recommend Rita she's not only very knowledgable but so down to earth and her touch is perfect. read more

Rita is an absolute joy to work with. She has been treating my skin for the last 4 years and I have had such great results. Her room is warm and cozy just like her. Talk about the touch of an angel, she has magical hands that make you feel so relaxed. I also use her line of cleansers and moisturizers that are great. If your looking for someone for waxing, spray tan and facials give Rita a try! You won't be sorry. Only point I would make is leave your self extra time to get there and park, since it is off Redondo(very busy street) and a more residential area, you may have to street park! read more

I have had many facials at world renown spas, but none of them have been as good as the facials I receive from Rita. I don't even waste my time anymore. Rita is an expert with your skin. The facials are relaxing, professional, exquisite, and beyond compare!! I've been going to her for over 15 years! I will no go anywhere else!! read more
