Veronica is AMAZING ! Her space is beautiful. Her hands are magic and her ability to not only make you feel comfortable and relaxed, but also take care of your needs is top notch ! Highly recommend ! read more

I have been going to Veronica for over a year and love her work! I moved to SF from NY with overly waxed eyebrows and no idea how to reshape them. Veronica worked with me and the shape of my face to get the eyebrows of my dreams! Plus, after each visit she explained her process and where I should let them grow in between visits. I originally set out to get "Salma Hayek eyebrows", but within 6 months I surpassed hers--sorry, Salma. Plus, I recently went out for a first date and halfway through it my date said "I can't stop looking at your eyes". I wasn't wearing much eye makeup, but had just had my eyebrows waxed by Veronica that afternoon--I knew she had worked her magic yet again! I'm a customer for life. read more

OK --Veronica is not just an Esthetician, she is the GODDESS of skincare!!! I just moved to the area from LA --had many facials down south --and Veronica blows them all out of the water!! Not only is she great at what she does, but she has a wonderful, sparkly energy --the kind that tingles. Just being around her is a full-body relaxing experience in and of itself. Her space is also super clean and hygienic --Veronica is adhering to all the new safety protocols to a T. I feel so lucky to have found her. Treat yourself --your skin will GLOW, like this review! :-) read more

Where do I begin... you know how refreshing it is these days when people look you in the eye and take their time to get to know you and treat you so nicely??? THAT is the experience here! Hahah. In this crazy time of Go! Go! Go! Veronica slowwwws everything down - almost like a wonderful relaxing meditation, with the added benefit of glowing vibrant skin! After I hit 40, I realized how important it is to take care of my skin, and I never had facials... until now. And I'm now a true believer!!! I feel so lucky to have found this wonderful gem of a human being and skin care expert named Veronica! You are a lucky duck if you find her too! Grateful! Thank you V! read more

Aesthetics By Veronica - After! Soooo happy and glow-y. :) no make up! - Skin Care Near Me - San Francisco, California

Veronica is amazing! I always feel so much more relaxed after I have seen her. I have gotten about 5 facials from her and they have all been fantastic! She listens to what you need and want, makes appropriate suggestions and has products if you want (no pressure though!) to buy them. She is quite skilled and what she does and I highly recommend her! read more

I saw Veronica for a facial last week. I was so happy to see her again in her fantastic, open, light and airy space. The equipment, the open windows and strict covid protocol were very reassuring and allayed my personal covid paranoia and fears. The facial was amazing it took 10 years away, and after 7 months of "cleaning" my face myself - I really enjoyed the scrubbing - not to mention the massage part. This visit was a relaxing respite from the recent stressful months we've all been through. Veronica was her gorgeous and beautiful self - I can't wait to see her again next month. read more

I just had my first Facial with Veronica since March and all I can say is OMG! I honestly forgot how much I value and love this appointment and how absolutely amazing Veronica is. From the day before my appointment I felt so safe and reassured knowing how much protocol Veronica has in place. Veronica texted me a list of instructions and guidelines that are been adhered by and followed. You enter through one door which is clearly sanitized prior and exit through another. Automatic temp check by both client and Veronica is mandatory along with constant sanitization of hands through all steps. You also need to wear disposable gloves to sign the waiver, Veronica has seriously all all the steps covered. Masks obviously are worn at all times as well until the start of the treatment where you then place it into a ziplock bag. No speaking through the treatment for everyone's safety but honestly your in another world of relaxation and pure bliss that you don't even notice the silence. It actually gives you a guilt free reason to completely check out from all the craziness and just have 2 uninterrupted hours of personal time. After the treatment you automatically put your mask back on, finish up the session and leave through the exit door. I can honestly say I felt a little bit of normalcy in my life again after leaving my session. Veronica made the whole experience feel so safe and secure amongst the unknown of what we are living with during Covid. Each step was professionally handled whilst not taking away from the experience. I have already booked my next appointment for December and got an appointment for my partner as well. If you have any doubts about getting a facial during these times please don't even hesitate going to Veronica. You won't regret it. read more

I found MY aesthetician to perfect my eyebrows! Unfortunately, I was born with my Italian Grandmother's eyebrows. Bushy, thick, and out of control. I need an aesthetician to groom them at least once every 3 weeks. I bet your thinking WHOA freaky brows - Frida Kahlo in the house. Ummm...yeah, no comment. Anyways, I have been all over this city searching for someone who is not so painful, close to home, and a perfectionist. I found Veronica. I hesitate greatly to share her with you. But, she deserves the praise. She is extremely gentle. Let's just say I manage to doze off as she waxes and manicures my brows to plucked perfection. She is the ultra-perfectionist! You won't walk out of her office with a single stray hair. She gives the most amazing facials. I've tried the Deep Pore Cleansing Facial ($95) twice. Her calming energy relaxes me into a hazy state of bliss as she cleanses and exfoliates. My face always feels fresh and renewed. Overall: Energetic aesthetician = Excellent eyebrow shaping, invigorating facials, and reasonable prices for quality service. read more

When people compliment me on my skin, I lie and tell them its from my beer habit. But in reality, I've been seeing Veronica since 1999 for all my beautifying needs. I even followed her from her original location in the Lower Haight all the way to Sacramento Street! Her facials are incredible, and I walk out with such a glow it seems that I have full makeup on when in fact, it was her deft hands and amazing products that leave my clean skin looking so dewy. And her attention to detail when it comes to my brows makes me use my one-eyebrow-raised look ever so much more. read more

Wow is all I can say. I left her office with a glow that I hadn't seen in years...and it's still there. Her facial was the best I've ever had and the products she used really brightened up my dull skin. I typically get microderms somewhere else but was given a gift certificate from my boss for a facial. I am now a devoted Veronica fan. She is a gifted aesthetician who knows her stuff! My husband commented a week after my facial that my skin still looks amazing. Thank you Veronica for working your magic! I'll be back! read more

I have to say, I had never had a facial before coming to Veronica. I had a few failed attempts at waxing in local jack-of-all-trades salons. You know the type, they cut hair, do nails, wax, tan, facials, you name it. Finally a glowing friend recommended me to Veronica. I walked in, terrified. She quickly put me at ease, with soft lighting, relaxing music, a quietly bubbling fountain. She left the room while I put on a soft robe and climbed into a well designed bed (support at the knees, gentle heating pad underneath). I have been going to her every month or two since and I always look forward to it. She is very hygienic, intelligent, and working hard to keep developing the business to the next level. I've had some great talks with her, but she can also tell when I don't want to talk and just want to enjoy the pleasure of an hour long facial! Even the terror of waxing (brow, lip, bikini) seems like nothing when you have the soothing atmosphere of Veronica's suite, and a facial to look forward to! Lastly, she is so flexible and accommodating. I often don't know my schedule until a week in advance, and she will squeeze me in in the morning or at night. I would recommend Veronica to anyone needing waxing or skin care, ESPECIALLY novices who are afraid. She is so confident and comfortable with what she does. read more

If you looked at my eyebrows now you would never know that they were a female version of my brother's furry oddly pointed brows. Veronica is really an expert in cleaning up and shaping brows. She spends a considerable amount of time making sure everything is shaped right, even, and clean. I never feel rushed. The first time she worked on me I spent a lot of time at home in front of the mirror so happy with how my brows looked. She has also helped me keep my persnickety skin in check. I was already using Jan Marini products but just picking stuff off the internet based on reviews. She fine-tuned my skin regimen and now I have the best skin I have ever had. She is not pushy about product either and gives me advice on what to prioritize, which I really appreciate because I don't have a lot of $ to spend. I am pleased I spent time poring over yelp and ending up as a client because aside from being great at what she does she is a really nice lady and I look forward to my monthly appointment. read more

Do you want some killer eyebrows, that last for weeks and are applied lovingly by your new good friend? Then you've got to try Veronica. I have been going to Veronica for somewhere around SEVEN years now (wow!), and I have to say she does an incredible job shaping and tinting eyebrows. I've only had a few facial services from her, but those we warm and relaxing (even the extractions)! She will put you at ease with her sense of humor and down-to-earthiness even when giving you a Brazilian! The environment is very peaceful, and smells great (if not from the products she uses, then from some nearby restaurant). Veronica sells Jan Marini products, of which my husband and I are addicted to one. The Laurel Heights neighborhood is a great change from her Lower Haight location. I love having an excuse to wander around up there and pick up some groceries at Bryan's. All in all, if you are looking for a new aesthetician, you should try Veronica. As someone else mentioned, she is great with fitting you into her schedule, which is really important to me. I dread the day we move out of the city and I'm left eyebrowless! read more

I have been going to Veronica for so many years, I actually can't remember since when and nothing compares to her facials. I have had facials as gifts from people but Veronica has to be the best. Her new set-up on Sacramento St. is so relaxed and inviting, but still professional. Her service is outstanding, she's attentive and her products rock. All my friends say I don't even have pores! Need I say more. read more

I found Veronica some years ago after trying a few different eyelash-tinting services--all of which were disappointing and sometimes painful. Putting chemicals near your eyes is tricky business and should not be attempted carelessly! Veronica outshined them all with her professionalism and meticulous care, and I've been a loyal client ever since. Her space is serene, her table is comfy and heated, her hands are gentle, and she takes great care to provide safe, pleasant service. I always enjoy my appointments and have never had any of the problems that can occur with eyelash tinting. Her facials are a magical experience, too! read more

Ok. I am not one to beat a dead horse, but this time I have to. It just doesn't get any better. If you live anywhere in the greater United States--you have no excuse to go anywhere else. Veronica is the best. No doubt in my mind. My mom is visiting and after recently enduring a horrific round of chemotherapy--she needed a little pick me up. Veronica did an amazing waxing job on her newly sprouted unsightly hairs and gave her some beautiful tinted eyebrows. She spent (as usual) WAY beyond the amount of time expected to be sure everything was plucked, smoothed and beautified. She even texted me this morning to be sure all was great. This woman is amazing! Heart of gold and wax of a magician. Seriously, I have lived in the bay for 20 years. I have tried them all. Nobody compares to Veronica!!!!!!!! read more

My first facial with Veronica was almost 10 years ago, and I've been a regular ever since. She has given me the best advice and product recommendations to deal with rosacea and other skin issues. The facials are very detailed- what I like best is not having to select a specific type of facial (like other spas)- she examines my skin and makes a recommendation. Her facial massage is amazing, and I've never had anyone else do such detailed extractions, it's like each clogged pore is her personal enemy! Best of all, Veronica is so warm and personal! Highly recommended, I would give 10 stars I could. read more

Veronica is the best. I met her for the first time after reading so many rave reviews and she is great. With age, I learned that its possible to grow skin allergies. Thus, was the main reason why I saw a dermatologist and Veronica for diagnosis and treatment. Not only is Veronica extremely nice and knowledgeable but she makes you feel right at home. I went in for my first back facial ever and she made it look wonderful. She wasn't the type to push products on you either. She knew that I was under the care of a dermatologist and just gave me some home tips and tricks of how else to help my skin look its best. And even mentioned going back to using Dove (for Sensitive Skin) to help clear up any possible minor irritation from other bath products I had been using. So going back to basics should help, and has helped! I see her again this Friday, after 4 weeks. I'm excited to show her that the combination of her treatments and skin care advice, along with my dermatological topical will show huge improvements. Her office is also the place where she performs her treatments on you. Its small, extremely clean, and has a nice view and airiness to it since she's decorated the fire escape with nice foliage. So when the sun shines into the room, its a beautiful sight - and not to mention, private. After reading the other reviews, I just might have to see her for brow waxing and other skin care needs! read more

I went there for the first time last week and really enjoyed it. Veronica tailors the facial to what your skin needs and really gives you great advice/suggestions. She doesn't try to force you to buy her products as she is not into wasting the products you already have. So she'll try to work with your products. She also gave me samples that I could try before making the investment in any of her products. I can't wait to go back! read more

Veronica is GREAT... And if she charged a little less, I would love to see her more often. She makes getting a brazilian wax much more pleasant than other places I've been. I seriously walked out of there thinking..."Wow, so waxes DON'T have to be painful or torturous" read more

I've been going to Veronica for about a year and the whole experience is lovely, from the heated chair, to the lavender infuser, to the blooming plants on the balcony. She really, really cares about my eyebrows, and I leave feeling rested and looking great. She's the best! read more

Have been burned by brow waxing in the past and Victoria was gentle and presented me with great brows that frame my eyes . She was very nice and informative and her place upstairs was very neat and clean. Parking is difficult - allow extra time to hunt for a space, but she is worth this minimal hassle. I will be back for facials. read more

Just came back from getting a lip wax from Veronica. This was my first visit to her office but it won't be my last. Instead of the burning red mess my upper lip usually is after a wax it is pleasantly cool and calm. Veronica was very gentle but extremely thorough. She finished up with an oxygen enriched serum (after she saw I was a little red)- it felt wonderfully calming and fresh! October is/was 20% for all her services so I was again pleasantly surprised when she said 12 dollars! Yay! read more

Veronica is amazing at what she does. After sitting in her chair for one hour and experiencing the most invigorating facial, you will walk out looking and feeling like a million bucks. One of my favorite treats is her excellent eyebrow shaping--it is painless and relaxing. She is amazing and you should check her out. read more

If I could, I would give Veronica 10 STARS. I HIGHLY recommend her for facials, waxing and eyelash-tinting. Read my story if you'd like to know why: I came to Aesthetics by Veronica on a recommendation from a coworker who has been going to Veronica for over 10 years. I had been seeing another esthetician who gave me horrible advice about an acne flare-up. She advised that I stop using the acne cream my dermatologist had prescribed and just get facials from her every 3 weeks. After 4 sessions, my acne was so bad it started to affect my social life. I was miserable. I had an really important wedding coming up in 2 weeks when I first went to Veronica. She assured me that she could help clear up my skin in 2 weeks. I was very skeptical - but of course wanted to be hopeful. I know we've been trained to be wary of quick-fixes and being sold expensive products with no guarantee that they're going to work. And for good reason - they often aren't as good as they are purported to be. So I was so grateful when Veronica gave me a few samples of Jan Marini's skin care line to try before buying: a face wash for day, one for night, bio-clear treatment for the acne and an anti-inflammatory cream. These products were UNBELIEVABLE. The best products I have ever used. In two weeks my skin looked good enough that I felt confident to attend this event without hiding behind my hair or avoiding people! I highly recommend Jan Marini's products because they really work. They are are amazing. Even more amazing is Veronica's kindness, compassion, professionalism and skill. She is one of - if not the - best practitioner I have ever seen. read more

I've always had trouble with my skin; you think you're going to grow out of it after high school, but unfortunately that doesn't happen for everyone! But a visit to Veronica is like a complete fresh start. My skin is always so much better after I've seen her, and overall it's clearer since I've been getting facials from her, since way back when. Like some of the other reviewers, I've been seeing Veronica since the Maire Rua Body days. I'd follow her anywhere, because she is just that wonderful, but her new place is fabulous: bright, clean, comfortable, and sunny (or, as sunny as you'll get in SF). Oh, and don't even get me started on the eyebrows. People have literally stopped me on the street to ask who does mine, and once my dentist even paused in the middle of an exam to ask about them! Also, Veronica will always squeeze me in for a quick eyebrow job at the last minute, whenever I realize out of nowhere that I can't let them go another day. read more

Just wanted to say that I moved to southern cal a year ago, and while I'm happy with my move, I will *never* find another Veronica! You SF-ers are soooo lucky!!!!!! read more

Wow, Veronica is fabulous! Be it a deep cleanse or simple wax, Veronica's hands work magic. Her knowledge of all things skincare is unparalleled. Look forward to each of my visits! read more

I received the deep pore cleansing facial this past weekend & absolutely loved it! I've been going to her for my eyebrows for about 4 months now, but finally decided to give her facials a try. The technique & Jan Marini products she used left my skin visibly clearer & smoother. I had been going to another esthetician for years who would leave me with wounds from extractions I prayed would not scar. With Veronica, she took me step by step through her process & explained to me the importance of a balanced skin care regimen. I used to dread getting facials, but because of Veronica I look forward to having them done regularly again! read more

I have been a client of Veronica for over 10 years and she is an amazing aesthetician. I have had many different services from her (waxing, facials, eyelash tinting, etc.) and the result is always flawless. In addition, her technical skill, professional demeanor and warm, winning personality make every procedure a pleasure. She is a true perfectionist and seems to care about the results, particularly with facials and eyebrow shaping, even more than I do! Thanks to Veronica I can never leave the Bay Area. read more

According to Yelp Veronica knows eyebrows! Yup, she sure does. I had a great consultation with Veronica and she managed to create a beautifully sculpted eyebrow or two. Can't wait to come back for some of her other services. read more

Veronica is just amazing at what she does! Simple as that! I started seeing her for treatments about a year ago, and the transformation in my skin is unbelievable. Its just healthy and clear, and is continually improving. Her new location in Laurel Heights is fabulous too. So serene and calming - I've fallen asleep numerous times on her table! Veronica is highly knowledgeable and professional, along with being a really great person. She explains everything so well, that her overall approach to skincare makes perfect sense. The Jan Marini line she carries is super stuff. She is a wiz at the waxing, she has her eyebrow shaping skills down to an artform. Its always a pleasure to recommend her, because my friends all rave about her too. read more

Veronica is experienced, knowledgeable, genuine, wholistic, and reasonably priced; everything you could want in an aesthetician. I highly recommend her for all aspects of skin care and waxing. Her combination of getting results and being a good person make her very unique. I started going to her eight years ago, tried to go elsewhere once, but have come back because it doesn't get any better than this. I even travel from the east bay across the city now because I trust her so much. read more

I just came back from a waxing and Veronica is SO amazing. She did such a great job and made me feel so comfortable. I will definitely be seeing her again for all my skincare needs. read more

So far the best eyebrow specialist Ive'd had. After investing a good amount of time on YELP reviews, I gave her a try. Her price is reasonable compared to all those fancy Brow bar. Very comfortable, personalized and most importantly HONEST. She starts with a mini consultation and takes her time, waxing minimally. I can tell that she is very patient answering all my questions. She was able to point out all my concerns and tries to correct all the mistakes that the previous people did. Gone are the days that I will get my brow wax from those nail shops who butchered my brow. She's my fairy-god-brow-mother. Make sure to come early, parking is a bit challenging. read more

I received my first facial from Veronica yesterday and must say, I am more than pleased. She is friendly and makes you feel comfortable immediately. Her space is nice and relaxing with a calming lavender scent. She is very knowledgeable in skin care and answers all questions with an ease and confidence only an expert could have. Price is great for the quality of care and treatment received. Parking is metered on the street but if you walk a couple of blocks you'll no doubt find 2 hour parking. Book early as she is usually booked at least a month in advance. Looking forward to my eyebrow and eyelash tint next time. read more

First I have to thank all the fellow yelpers. I came on here looking for someone to do my brows, someone that wasn't all the way downtown. I have always done my own and wanted more shaping than I was comfortable doing. My brows came out awesome. Who knew I actually had an arch hidden there. I will definitely be going back for a facial as well. read more

I have been going to Veronica since 2002. She does my facials and eyebrows. I will not let anybody else touch my face. I can not say enough nice things about Veronica. GO TO HER!! Your face will appreciate it:) read more

I can't say enough good things about Veronica. I'm new to writing reviews on Yelp... but I've been going to Veronica for 6 YEARS. That's a happy customer. Her lash brow and tints are fantastic and her facials are amazing. She gives you this wonderful face massage when you get a facial that leaves me so relaxed and happy. Veronica is the best! read more

Just like the other Yelpers on here, I didn't really want to write a review for Veronica since I'd rather keep her a secret! I've been going to her for a few years for eyebrow and bikini waxing and she's just the best. I love to recommend her to my friends who are scared to get waxed, because her technique is as low-pain as I can imagine waxing can be. She's also extremely accommodating and now plucks my brows for me since I use medication on my face. I love her services and love to chat and catch up with her too. She is truly a gem! read more
