Augusta revolutionized how I care for my skin. She explained good metaphors that helped me understand why what I was doing for so many years wasn't working, and how making certain lifestyle changes would improve the health of my skin. Augusta was transparent about her process and the reason behind each step she was taking during my treatments. Augusta also set me up with a home care regimen made up of products she crafted herself. I left my first appointment with her feeling empowered, educated, and excited for the future health of my skin. I have definitely been doing my part in the healing process of my skin, but my skin would be nowhere near where it is now without Augusta. I have her to thank for my skin being as hydrated, healthy, and clear as it is today. read more

Found Augusta recently and was so happy she's only 5 min from home. I've literally tried everything and nothing worked for my acne. I always knew I had a specific type of acne that wasn't the same as others but was always treated the same. Finally someone understood. she automatically knew I had dry dehydrated skin and the type of acne I had and how to treat it. I'm getting my skin in check before my wedding next year and I'm so happy with how my skin is so far. I find myself going out more often with no makeup on. Highly recommend. read more

If you're looking for an incredibly knowledgeable person who not only knows skin but knows products, Augusta is your person. Because of her, my skin looks fantastic. Her facials are amazing. She spends time learning your issues and finding solutions to what works. I don't trust anyone else to tell me what to use on my skin. And I run things by her if I have a question about certain products; because if she doesn't like the product, chances are it's not great for you. She's also incredibly professional and friendly. SHE'S AWESOME! read more

Hey all! I had to share my convo this morning when I was asked why I drive all the way to Long Beach for my facial. In case anyone ever has the same question. Answer: Because no one else is touching this face! Ha! Augusta, hands down, Skin Goddess. I've been a client of hers for years. I started with constant acne problems. Take it from me, It's like the minute she does her thing, your skin will be corrected if needed and continue to look it's healthiest. Thats what makes the distance irrelevant. The Glow Burbank to Long Beach ain't no thang. read more

Augusta is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and amazing at her job! I always have a hard time knowing what information to listen to and she has all the answers. The products I got from her were life-changing and the services were worth every penny! I literally fly out from Utah to go see her! She's always available to help out and she's just the best ever! Everyone needs Augusta in their life! read more

Sacred Skincareapy is a haven of a skin sanctuary! @augustasweet is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to healthy aging skin techniques. AKA defy age with proper skin care. Her October Special was such an amazing experience, my skin felt amazing with the very first application of her products. Augusta is also an expert in acne and she is a Master of her esthetician / skincare industry. She's located in Bixby Knolls, Long Beach so to me one of Long Beach City's best kept secrets! First I needed to "check out" from my busy life and this beautiful spa experience exceeded my expectations. You find peace as soon as you walk in the door. I loved her soothing treatments and ample facial, neck and shoulder massage throughout the treatment. I bought some of her products all reasonably priced and in a few days I can see a remarkable difference. I appreciate the holistic quality of skincare she provides and individualized skin and health care recommendations she makes for each client. I am thankful to be a new client. Augusta has monthly features and I look forward to experiencing more blissful facials. read more

This review is long over due as I have been going to see Augusta for about three years now. Not just that but I also treat my wife to visits with her from time to time. Let me start by saying that while yes, she is a licensed esthetician and is a certified acne & advanced age management specialist, she is first and foremost a healer. Which is to say taking care of the human body comes naturally to her. Her approach to skin care is that of gentle guidance with plenty of deep wisdom. She takes into account both macro and micro variables in her approach towards skin care. And that is why I keep coming back to see her again and again. Not only do I feel like I'm being taken care of but I also feel like I learn something new about my body and how to better take care of it. Second, she is always in pursuit of knowledge. Every time I see her she tells me about a new skill she is incorporating, reading materials she's read or new approaches to her services. She is constantly seeking to improve, expand her craft. She never settles and it makes me feel like every new thing she learns it is being passed on to her clients thru her approach in her services. She understands not any one approach is without improvement and it shows in her care of her clients. Having said that, I also want to point that her new location is fantastic. I can't stress enough how impressed I am with how well she designed and decorated her business. Earth tones all around, a feeling of calm and comfort imbue the ambiance of her place. You feel welcomed right away. The lightning is perfectly placed. The entire place is impeccably clean. There is nothing tacky or cliched about her place of business. Also, if you're in the market for new skin care recommendations she offers a full line of choices. I am a repeat customer of her products on hand after years of suffering thru a variety of products that did nothing but irritate my skin. I highly recommend you take a look if you're in the market to try something different. If you feel like you've hit a plateau with your current skin care specialist, or your own approach isn't taking you in the path you envision or you just want to spend a 30 or 60 minutes in relaxation in the company of a specialist that can make your skin feel better, I highly recommend you pay Augusta a visit. She'll improve you overall skin well being in the most unexpected way. She's certainly done so and continues to do so with me. read more

Shes the best in LB!! Seriously don't go to anyone else!! She has a lot of knowlodge about skincare and is the sweetest!! Shes super nice and welcoming I love her read more

Augusta is a miracle worker! I had terrible, painful acne for which nothing seemed to work for my entire adult life (I'm 25). I tried antibiotics, birth control, Differin and all that and they either didn't work or gave me bad side effects. I hated to look in the mirror. I originally went to Augusta for a one-time facial with birthday money, but she took one look at my skin and said "I can get you clear." So I decided to make the investment and started treatments with her, used her products and followed her recommendations. I pretty much immediately started seeing a difference and with each treatment, my face got better and better. I think it took about 4 months to clear completely-- meaning absolutely no acne and any pimples that pop up around my period go away within a day or two. It's been life changing and confidence changing. Now, 7 months after I first started seeing Augusta, my face is still completely clear-- even though COVID has kept me from getting treatments for months (still order my products from her though!) And it's not only clear, but it's HEALTHY looking, soft and dewy. I never thought I would have skin like that. Even on BC, which "cleared" me up temporarily (but gave me crippling depression- yay), my skin never looked healthy. My old acne scars are continually fading and I've never felt more confident with my appearance. Augusta is brilliant in her thorough knowledge of skin, skincare, science and chemistry and everything else and she is willing to educate and share that knowledge often, which I love. THANK YOU AUGUSTA! read more

Augusta, her healing hands and magical skin serums are exactly what I needed to help relax, rejuvenate and let go of a tense and toxic week. Her gentle hands and demeanor are always such a great reminder of self-care and being kind to yourself. She always helps with putting me at ease and taking care of my wildly sensitive skin. The spa is beautifully decorated and serene. The Native American influence adds so much to sense of calm throughout the spa. She is a talented and passionate healer. I couldn't recommend her enough. Thank you for your gentle hands and compassion Augusta. My skin feels Fab! read more

Augusta is absolutely amazing!! She is very knowledgeable with product and familiar with all skin types. Every session I've had is a wonderful experience. (Hands of an angel) Her studio is comfortable and relaxing. I look forward to my facials every month. read more

love! love! love! I found Augusta through yelp. I've been seeing her for a couple months.. It's great to just relax away for an hour while I get my face gets all the attention it deserves. I swear if it wasn't for seeing Augusta, I don't know how my face would look. I don't have time to take care of my skin as well as i should, so it's nice to know that I can come in for my monthly facial & i'll come out looking better then when I went in! I usually get an enzyme peel which leaves my face glowing & very soft. I've also have had the holistic dermabrasion done. I feel like I walk out with baby smooth skin! I have a couple of spots on my face that are uneven, but with the constant facials, my face seems to have an all over more even skin-tone. Even my fiancé noticed lately that my face looks better without makeup then when I didn't get facials [AND isn't it a plus when the fiancé notices] Augusta also makes sure that you are educated to take care of your skin at home. She even wrote me out a "skin prescription" it's adorable, I just purchased my home care items to make sure I start doing my part at home for my face. I will Def be continue to come back & refer everyone! Thanks Augusta! read more

Augusta Sweet Sacred Skincareapy - goodies! homecare essentials! I love the powder sunscreen- Brush on Block, it's my favorite! - Skin Care Near Me - Long Beach, California

See all

I rarely give out five stars but this woman right here is too wonderful. I came in with problem skin and eyebrows that were out of control. The knowledge she has for skin and beauty is astonishing. She is completely honest about what your skin and body needs. Which is pretty amazing because so many other places recommend all these treatments that don't work. She talked to me about my concerns/problem areas and what I needed to work on. If that isn't enough to get you through the door then maybe this will. She waxes brows at such an affordable rate that I couldn't help but schedule an appointment. I leave my appointments happy and with more knowledge about beauty. Do yourself a favor and schedule an appointment with her. I promise you won't regret it. read more

Augusta sweet knows everything there is to know about skin care from topical remedies to internal consumption. All you need to do is take one look at her youthful appearance and her radiant glow, seeing is believing. She only utilizes quality products and will never use a product on a client without trying it out on herself first. She invest all her free time perfecting her technique to ensure that no client leaves disappointed and the results speak for themselves. I want to emphasize that her dedication with her technique will leave you feeling relaxed, refreshed and most importantly BEAUTIFUL! As for her waxing, she makes it as comfortable as she possible can. Using premium wax, pleasant music and her lovely gift of gab. I don't think I could make it through our monthly waxing appointment without her kind conversation. She really cares about her clients and because of that I'm proud to say that I have gained a friend for life. read more

This Christmas, my wife bought me a gift certificate to her aesthetician. She knows that I can be a macho pain in the butt, but she also knows what's good for me and how to cater to my thinly disguised vanity. Augusta is just what I needed. She has a true talent for creating a comfortable experience for newbies like me. The whole thing was very enjoyable. We began with an informative chat- an assessment of my skin, treatment options and how to protect and take care of it moving forward. Then the treatment, the active word being "treat", was very involved, with a cleansing of some sort, extraction of the undesirables (which I'd thought I had left in my teen years), and a hydrating mask with a face massage that was very soothing. I was so relaxed by the atmosphere and procedure that I dozed off. I now get why this is a thing. Thanks to my loving wife and Augusta, I shaved a few years of this rough mug and learn how to enjoy a little me time. I highly recommend a visit to see Augusta at the enchanting "Sacred Skincarapy". read more

There are SO MANY reasons why Augusta and her business are amazing. My first time I made sure to book the 90 min facial and I'm so happy I did, I learned A LOT about skin care from Augusta's educational background it was amazing getting to know her and I loved the passion in her voice. She paid attention to all of my needs, answered all of my questions, and made the best recommendations that I was happy to take. From the ambiance, energy to her technique made this the best facial I've ever received. I left glowing, haven't bothered to put on foundation because I don't need it. She saved my chapped lips too LOL, love love love her lip treatment!!! Thank you Augusta, for everything! I'll be seeing you soon. read more

I haven't seen Augusta in awhile, but I need to get around to scheduling a facial again soon. My face is in need of some major TLC. Augusta is great. She is knowledgeable and personable and has great skincare tips and doesn't make me feel like an idiot about my terrible skincare habits. The skin is the largest organ in the body and you should have a professional on your team like Augusta to make sure it is healthy. Please tell her I sent you. read more

Augusta is great! She knows what she's doing when it comes to clearing acne. I have very sensitive skin and she's very accommodating and knowledgeable. The vibe of her studio is very relaxing and I always look forward to my appointments with her! read more

Augusta is amazing. I was referred by my BFF. I arrived for my consult and she had already done her homework about the products that I have been using and recommended some immediate changes. Then she completes my facial, her products are amazing. My skin looks so great and refreshed. Can't wait to go back for my next facial. I do plan on bringing my 18 year old daughter to her. She is now my skincare guru!! read more

Augusta is amazing! My 16 year old son was suffering from blackheads and had breakouts on his cheeks and forehead. I went on a search for someone in my area that could handle this type of issue. I found Augusta on yelp and felt she was the best choice. She was welcoming, attentive, knowledgeable and kind. The waiting area was very relaxing and has a calm feel to it. She offered wine, water or tea. She explained everything in detail with me & my son, recommended products needed to achieve clearer skin. We chose the acne treatment package with a total of 4 visits I believe. By the 3rd visit his skin was much clearer. I myself got a facial! It was very relaxing and my skin looked fresher. I would recommend anyone with acne or who needs a facial to go see Augusta. read more

Just had the best facial ever from Augusta Sweet!! My face is glowing! Not only does she have magical hands but she also knows A LOT about holistic skin care. If you need a skin care service, amazing products (natural based) or want to really discuss the science behind skin and skin care she is your lady!! read more

Estheticians need to be pampered, too! Just had a lovely, relaxing facial that sent me to LaLa Land. Can't wait to be back here in the next couple of months! read more

Augusta is such a fantastic esthetician! I am an esthetician myself and am very picky about who I let touch my skin! She is one of the few. She has an amazing touch and is very helpful and knowledgable with both her treatments and product recommendations. I also think it's great that she is very into continued education. It's so important in this industry to stay on top of new products, treatments, technology, etc. I would highly recommend her! Thanks Augusta! read more

Augusta has been my esthetician for years! She helped me get rid of my acne and continually treats me monthly. Her space always calms me and puts me in a good place mentally. Her treatments have always worked for me and leave my skin feeling clear and soft for weeks after my visits. Besides her amazing work she has a golden personality & a energy about her that anyone who knows her loves. read more

I moved here a month ago and was referred by Face Reality. Augusta is very knowledgeable, caring and passionate about what she does. I had a cyst and now is healing and under control. Seeing her also makes me feel hopeful that this will all be taken care of. I highly recommend her and Thank You Augusta! read more

I didn't want the facial to end. The stress in my life was swept away for the hour I spent with Augusta. I, too, am an esthetician, and do not take the 'me' time for myself as I should. But I'm glad I did today. Augusta is a talented esthetician, without a doubt. She is incredibly knowledgeable, warm, and comfortable to be with. You can tell there is passion behind her work. And for me, that's been rare to find. And a little note about her massage... oh my goodness, was it out of this world! :) I would refer any one of my friends. And I will be making my visits to Augusta a monthly ritual. read more

I've been working with the fabulous Augusta Sweet for over two years, and I can say she's absolutely changed my complexion to a brightening glow. I use to get compliments when I was younger how dewy and clear my skin was. As I aged and acne crept onto my face, that stopped. Since working with Augusta people stop me and tell me how good my skin looks. My husbands been working with her too because her technique is like none other. I highly recommend Augusta for anyone who wants to focus on anti-aging + acne safe + natural ingredient products & facials as Augusta is THE expert on these areas to focus on. Her facials are beyond relaxing and therapeutic and she's become a dear friend to my family over the years. I see Augusta monthly to focus on keeping my skin clear and I think that's been key to not stopping once I got clear. My monthly facials have helped tremendously. read more

I have been coming to Augusta for about a year now, and it has been such a relief to have found someone who not only understands what it's like to have acne-prone skin but who is also knowledgeable, non-judgmental, and dedicated to results. Her space is calm and relaxing, and she always helps me feel welcome. I usually go in for acne treatments, but I have also gone in for a facial and it was the best, most relaxing hour of my life! read more

Such a relaxing experience! The salon space was lovely and welcoming. I rarely find the time for pampering and so glad I did! The facial was amazing! It's been a few days and my skin still looks and feels wonderful! Thank you Augusta! read more

I LOVE Augusta! I have had problem skin (acne, pigmentation and now starting to have aging) for over 20 years, and I have been to many aestheticians in my time. Augusta is the MOST knowledgeable aesthetician I have ever had, and I'm so grateful that I found her. She knows so much about the WHY and not just the WHAT. She also has a holistic view of skincare, which I love. She brings in all aspects of life - nutrition and lifestyle- into her skincare treatment plans. I love that she gives honest opinions about products/brands, and she is always ingredient-focused. I have placed my complete trust in her even though I am a new client. Augusta is an acne expert... My skin is improving dramatically already. I highly recommend her! read more

I brought my 25 year old son for his birthday and here is what he had to say about his experience: "Augusta Sweet is by far the best estitician I have ever been to. She clearly knows what she is doing and she made my skin so soft and clean. The experience was amazing and I will definitely come back again and again. In addition, I will be refering all my friends and family to her!! She is the Skin Guru!!!" read more

I am almost 50 years old and have fair sensitive fair skin and large pores. Augusta took the time to not just get to now me but to "get to know my skin", asking about products I use and my routine in order to customized my facial. She was very detailed and understands the "science of skincare" I felt like I was seeing a specialist. Once she got it dialed in, I was treated to a very relaxing and almost intoxicating 60 minutes. Not just a facial as I expected, but half massage as well. She recommended skin care (without being pushy) and even supplements and foods that I could benefit from taking. She is very knowledgable and cares about using quality products with natural ingredients, not just what's trendy in skincare. She is very well informed and not only knows skincare, it's obvious that she LOVES doing it. One visit and you'll be hooked! read more

Just had my facial done by Augusta, she is extremely professional, the space is clean and very relaxing. I utterly enjoyed my facial and will definitely be back. Stop searching you have found the best spot to love on your skin! read more

Augusta was the sweetest most professional soul I have ever met. She pays great attention to detail and it's very obvious she is passionate about what she does. While I was there, I felt like I was just hanging out with a friend. I'm so glad I found her! read more

This review is truly loooong overdue! I have been going to Augusta for several years now starting when I had severe breakouts for unknown reasons and Yelp led me to her. First off, Augusta is truly a skincare guru goddess that has completely transformed my skin overtime and I can't imagine my skincare routine without her or her products. She truly has a passion for skincare and it shows with not only her amazing facials but through the knowledge that she imparts on you during each service. She deeply dives into every aspect holistically that could affect your skin such as diet, historical products used, etc. to ensure that nothing is blocking your skincare success. I moved away from the area but I still remain in "maintenance mode" through her products and I'm beyond grateful that Yelp brought us together and that she still graciously is available to ship items to me. Trust her process, do the work and you will see amazing results! read more

Augusta is AMAZING when it comes to treating the skin. I have suffered from acne since the age of 13/14 and nothing I ever tried worked. I went on antibiotics, tried different creams and even went to multiple dermatologist but nothing would clear my skin. It was not until I began to receive treatment from Augusta that my skin cleared up. She knows exactly what she is doing and tailors to your skin needs. Not only did she give me knowledge on how to better my skin care but also how to modify my diet in order to achieve better results. Augusta was able to clear my skin with her acne treatments something not even my dermatologist was able to do. She is hands on and will do everything in her power to clear her clients skin. She has her own products which are also amazing and would 10/10 recommend. She is a sweet person all around and will take care of your needs. Thank you Augusta for giving me my confidence back by clearing my skin. If you have the chance to book treatment or buy any of her products go for it you will not regret it!! read more

I've been getting facials monthly for a couple years now, & my skin looks amazing! She is so knowledgeable & is constantly reading up on & learning more about her "craft". I look forward to seeing her every month. Do yourself a favor & book an appointment NOW! read more
