If I could give this place a million stars I would. Late 2024, I got double eyelid surgery and I had to get steroid injections for scarring. Unfortunately, my skin had an extremely poor reaction to it and I got acne like I never had before. My self esteem plummeted and I didn't want to leave my house due to my skin condition. Tried literally every product under the sun and nothing ever worked. I decided to give this place a shot, and it's incredible how quickly the results are. You can see photos from my first appointment in June to a few days after to the last week of the month. Lina spent so much time in crafting a dedicated plan for me and she has extensive knowledge of Chinese medicine/practice. I go once a month now for facial/extractions and every three months for microneedling. I barely break out now and my skin has never looked better! I cannot recommend this place enough (Biggest shoutout to Lina and Karen! These women are pros and their work and care sincerely changed my life!!) read more

I've been coming here to see Karen for YEARS, and cannot believe I haven't written a review yet! Years ago, I had been struggling a lot with adult acne, but was a little cautious and wary of prescription creams & medication. I had also tried various recommended skincare from Sephora and other beauty influencers on Instagram, but none of them seemed to work. On a whim, I asked my skincare-addict friend if she had any recommendations, and she said her friend had gone to this place in Fremont that does acne extractions that she spoke highly of. Before this, it hadn't even crossed my mind to see an aesthetician for my acne. Karen was my aesthetician, and she performed a manual acne extraction + other hydrating treatments afterwards. I'm not going to sugar coat it, the extraction HURTS! But it's only in the moment of the extraction, it doesn't keep hurting afterwards. Karen was as gentle as she could be, but also meticulous. I felt as if she was digging into every one of my pores (in a good way)! After years of struggling with acne, I decided to bite the bullet and just trust the process with Karen. Instead of other facial places, I don't have to pick and decide for myself which treatment I want -- Karen takes in the current state of my face with every visit and suggests the treatment that she thinks is the best. It took a little while to fully see the results, but it was so worth it! After a few months, I already started see a reduction in my normal acne. In around year or two, I not only barely had any acne, my skin was so much healthier, and I swear my pores seemed to have shrunk! This is no doubt a splurge on myself (I now routinely go in for monthly facials), but has honestly been so worth it. I do feel like Beauty Legend uses quality products & technologies, like nice Italian skincare & modern Korean technology/machines. I almost exclusively use their products in my home skincare routine now. I'll try some other products every once in a while, but my skin seems to not like them as much! read more

I am super grateful to know Beauty Legend from my friend, because it's hard to find a fantastic facial place at the East Bay. Lina and her team treat everyone of their customer whole heartedly with their professional knowledge, time and effort. My skin condition improved a lot since I've been there, and I also recommend my friends to do facial at there as well. If you have not try their facial or found a facial place that satisfy you, please definitely go and try Beauty Legend! read more

It was life changing for me and words can't express how much I appreciate Lina and Beauty legend!!! I had severe breakouts/ acne problem since Early August. I have been to 4 different dermatologists from popular skin institutes to seek for help, yet none of them had a clue what was going on with my face and what type of acne I had. I was depressed, feeling very very insecure about myself, and didn't want to go outside at all for at least one month. I was hopeless until I was introduced to Lina (the first photo shows how bad it was the first time I came to Beauty Legend) ...They literally saved my life!! Everyone here is so supportive and patient. Lina herself has been treating acne for 40 years which made her an expert! She's incredibly skillful and I can feel how professional she is when she swiftly, yet carefully cleaned out Every Single one of my acne! Make sure you follow their recommended diet and use the acne treatment products, this will stop breakouts growing and speed up the healing process. The second pic shows my skin condition after one month of the treatment going to Beauty Legend twice every week. The last photo shows the drastic improvement after a month of going to Beauty Legend once a week for another month. Throughout the process they cleaned every single one of the acne and made sure it won't leave any mark on my face. On top of the acne cleansing itself, they provided herbal tea treatment additionally and it actually tasted pretty good! Again, I'm really really grateful and lucky that I came to Beauty Legend!! I hope I could know about this place earlier. You will be surprised how magical their skin treatments are and I swear it worth every penny!! Thank you so so much for letting me gain my confidence back! read more

This is my very honest review. I have acne problem since young age. Tried many different things to improve my skin and scar problems, but so far, only this place shows great improvement. You will see results in 3-4 treatments, better after a year or two. Don't expect to see result with only 1-2 treatments, specially if you have with scan problems. The staffs are all very nice and professional. Owner is very experienced and has good knowledge about skin. This place is not cheap, but I think it really worth the money that I spent. read more

I finally found a professional skin specialist to transform my sensitive skin to healthy natural skin. Everyone can recognise my skin improvement even after my two facial treatments by Lina. I have not been doing any facial in six years after I had my warts removal from my dermatologist. I never considered to go out after my blackhead removal during facial treatment , usually my face would turn red, hurting and swollen for few days in my past experience. However, I did not have those symptoms even Lina removed all my blackhead and grease particles for over 45 minutes. I am so impressed with her 40 years experience skills that turned my face smoother and cleaner. I'm so happy and thankful to find my favorite skincare specialist. Now I change all my skincare products to nourishing my skin with their wholesale DOSHA. I'm confident to go out without makeup. I highly recommend their quality services and quality products! read more

Beauty Legend - Same day after facial without redness - Skin Care Near Me - Fremont, California

Overdue review ! This is my third year going to Beauty Legend. Lina helps me with my skin and throughout the years she has been very attentive and consistent when it comes to my session. Extraction hurts but it is definitely worth it to be going home to super clean and hydrated skin!! She never missed a spot, that is how thoroughly she is. The after treatment is usually really good too, Lina will pick out different masks / treatment depending on what my skin needed the day of. On days when she is not available, Karen and Vivian will step in and they are, equally good and attentive. Thank you Beauty Legend!! read more

Just finished my first facial at this location and I write this review in their lobby as I'm waiting for my friend, T, to finish hers. Can't help but notice how soothed and hydrated the skin on my face feels. Can't help but notice how buttery my skin looks compared to the before. I'm pretty much sold on their practice! Highest compliments to my Esthetician, Karen. She really has the working skills and knowledge for her profession. I'm so interested in seeing long term results with her, I purchased the 10 treatment package. Let's see where this skin journey goes! read more

Lina did a great job at deep cleaning every single inch of my face! I've been having acne for years and nothing can really help me except for extractions. The process was painful but the outcome was totally worth it! My face is soft and glowing afterwards. Definitely recommend to anyone who has oily/problematic skin should read more

I flew from New York to California just because I was fed up with the texture especially on ny forehead. I stayed for about 10 days and I cannot be happier with my results read more

I have had a history of pretty bad acne; I am prone to cystic acne and have really oily skin. I've seen a dermatologist, but antibiotics prescribed made my acne worse and made me feel miserable. I wanted a more natural method of managing my acne, so I started coming to Beauty Legend for facials since last July and my skin has improved immensely. My mom, sister, and I all share the package where you purchase 10 facials, and it's worth it every time. I can't praise Beauty Legend's service and quality of work enough. Every time I come in for a facial, my esthetician Karen, tailors the session to exactly what my skin needs (which varies for each visit!) and is extremely thorough in cleaning my pores out. Even though the extraction is pretty painful, Karen is extremely gentle throughout the entire process. The entire facial is a relaxing experience and after every facial, my skin feels hydrated and healthy and my body feels rejuvenated (Karen gives a mini massage and I've napped several times haha). Besides the quality facial, I also appreciate all the beauty/skin advice and recommendations that Karen generously offers. I have always been embarrassed about my acne and didn't really know how to manage it, but she is kind and patient when addressing my concerns and super easy to talk to. She recommended I change my diet (ie: cut out dairy/sugar) and I was pleased when I started seeing major improvements in my skin after just several facials and a diet change. Overall, all of the specialists (Vivian and Lina) and the office manager Charles, are really personable and kind. They take the time to talk to you and I feel that they genuinely care about their clients. I also strongly recommend their products. The acne cream that they use works better than any of the benzoyl peroxide/salicylic acid products I've used to treat acne (believe me, I've tried them all...) and does not irritate my skin. I am so grateful for how much Beauty Legend has improved my skin and am excited to continue my skincare journey here! Highly highly recommend Beauty Legend for any acne issues/maintaining your skin health! read more

I am obsessed with their facials! My girlfriends and I immediately bought a package after our first visit. Even though the extractions are painful, it's absolutely worth it because your face is so smooth, hydrated, and flowing after. I usually go to Vivian but I'm sure others are great as well. read more

On quality of work alone, this place gets 5 stars. I have mixed skin which, for me, means days of dry skin and days of oil skin. I'm also prone to blackheads and whiteheads. I hadn't had a facial in 4 months when I went so my face was in need of some deep cleaning. Oh boy did they clean. They were very thorough and got basically everything out. Just a heads up, they do all of their extractions manually so be prepared for that (I teared up a lot). They also added some extra treatments because my skin was so dry. For service, they were great. My only critique is that I can hear other people's conversations while I was getting my facial. I'm not going to dock a star because I'm so impressed with their quality of work. Just keep it in mind if you are looking for a quiet, relaxing facial - it might not be as quiet as you would like it to be. read more

I been having oily face ever since puberty. Many treatment been done on my face but there seems to be no permanent fix for my poor genes. So I got quite frustrated with it so from time to time I would just leave the problem alone. This never end skin issue has torn my face badly leaving lots of scar and acme all over my face. I am very grateful to meet Lina. With her professional help, I am finally able to control and maintain the problem to minimum. I have to admit her treatment is quite painful but very effective. Some of my scar became faded and my acme is growing less and less. In order to control my excessive oily face, she recommended me to change my diet as well. I am fully aware my skin issue is never going to end but Linda totally made it easy for me. I would seriously recommend anyone to her regardless what type of skin issue you have. Give her a try you won't regret. Best regards Alex read more

I have been to Beauty Legend for the past 3 years and have gotten to know all their staff and their products very well. Beauty Legend is part of my beauty maintenance regimen and once I found them (and I had tried many, many places in the bay area) I stopped looking because their expertise is really the best in the bay area. Beyond facial - they provide more than just a feel-good spa treatment. They will make your skin healthier and you can tell their services apart by just attending one treatment. Their routine is very different from the others and many facial veterans can never go to other "spas" once they tried Beauty Legend. Derm. expertise - I have all kinds of skin problems including an old one and one that I did not know I had. The girls solved the decade old one and called my attention to the one that I was so oblivious to but would continue to spread if not contained. With LOTS of encouragement (and a bit of bravery and tears on my part) the girls took care of them for me... I am forever grateful and often wonder why my past "spa" experts had never let me know about them. Due to some careless action on my part - I now have a new skin problem :/ and am right back under their care. Office and logistics - The place is very tidy and clean. It's a very intimate setting instead of a big medical spa space that smells like bleach. The girls and the front office mgr are extremely personable and warm. I find them very easy to talk to and share concerns with. They also take time with you unlike other places that run on a strict clock. Give them a call and book an appt. You can't go wrong with any of the specialists. You will get to know all of them very soon and they will all be giving you beauty advices. :0) read more

I have been prone to acne for the past few years and had always thought it's hormonal until I stumbled upon beauty legend 2 years ago where I finally knew it was digestive plus food intake. Huge compliments to my esthetician Karen for not only tailoring each session to what my face needs but have also been fixing any face/skin issues that I had for the past 2 years. I look forward to all my facial sessions as they have always been so relaxing and engaging and Karen always try her best to be super gentle during each extraction while giving me beauty skin advise and addressing any concerns I had. Their recommended acne cream, serum and moisturizer are now my holy grails. Other estheticians (Lina, Vivien) and the office manager Charles are also super friendly, engaging and helpful. I would highly recommend this place for anyone who are concern with acne or skin issues. read more

Been coming here since May of this year and am honestly surprised with the amazing service and quality of their work! I am glad I got the package where I could come in 10 times for a pretty good deal. It might be the best deal you can get for facials if you break it down per session plus they tailor it to what your skin needs every time! I am loving this place and hoping to continue my beauty facial journey here :) read more

4 treatments in! ***Full disclosure, I cut out gluten and dairy out of my diet a week prior. While that might be a a huge contributor of my face clearing up, my face was majorly congested from years of build up.*** Beds and blankets are super comfy and Karen's mini-massage will lull you into a false sense of security but don't fall for it because GAAAAADAM! Your 1-3 treatments will be the worst. Lina will have no mercy on your pores. I was tearing-up, sweating and kicking off the blankets. You'll come outta there like the saddest tomato. Your family and friends will be horrified to what you WILLINGLY allowed to happen to face. But its like the old saying goes...It has to get bad before it gets good! The texture of my skin is almost baby-butt-smooth (get there!) In addition to the extractions, Lina will give you mask treatment depending on the condition of your skin. GUYS! They use top of the line products that you see at high end bougie spas. I especially love the 'Hollywood Peel' that she does for me! That sh*t ain't cheap. Its $300+ anywhere else but Lina include it into my facial. My first 2 treatments were a week apart. As of now, go to BL every other week. Its been a 8 weeks in and my skin never looked so good. Also, my results were so good that my mom and sister started coming here too! Its a family affair! TIP- I would recommend taking aspirin (Charles always has them handy). It won't help with the pain during the extraction but it will help a bunch with the headache that comes later. read more

Tried to call and set up appointment. My call was picked up but was told they're not open yet. What the...And it was noisy in the background. Kept telling her I can barely hear you, it's loud in the background but of course, she can barely hear me, smh! read more

I've been seeing Vivian the last few weeks trying to regulate my skin. All this time I thought I had combination skin only to discover that I actually have dry skin. With Vivian's help, my skin has been looking much brighter than before. We tried using a few different types of machines to brighten my face and to help my skin absorb more moisture and the facials have been working well for me. I've been very happy with the results after each facial and my face is looking much better with each appointment. Vivian tailors her facials towards your skin and will make suggestions to help you improve your routine at home. For me, she told me to drink more water and to cut down on my tea intake and I have been able to see results. Obviously now knowing I actually have dry skin, I have been able to change up my night time routine. After my first appointment, I went back after a week for another facial and then again after 3 weeks and my next appointment is in another 3 weeks. Hopefully, I can space my appointments out a little further if my skin has improved a lot. This process for me has definitely not been cheap because I have been visiting so often the last few weeks but once I'm in a better place with my skin, I'm hoping to see her less frequent because honestly, it adds up! With that being said, Beauty Legend is way cheaper than anything American like Burke Williams and they do an amazing job. Extractions hurt, not a lot, but they're not comfortable of course. When has beauty ever been pain-free?! Asian facials are nothing compared to American places where they lather your skin with creams and send you home with hardly any extractions. So just be aware that you may leave with some very slight irritation that should go away in the next 1-2 days. Overall, Beauty Legend has been my all time favorite place to visit for facials. Oh and you'll get a little message with your facial as well. Clean facility, friendly staff and I have not been asked to buy any products yet! read more

Love this place. My face turned from oily, bumpy, dry to visually improved and smoother. The girls (Karen, Vivian) here are actually super professional, the owner (Lina) knows her stuff very well and the manager (Charles) is super nice. Each time they would suggest me with the best treatment for my face, and it feels extremely refreshing afterwards (usually in 2-3 days my skin gets to its best state). Would strongly recommend their products here too, treats my long-term acne condition. read more

Extremely friendly staff and very professional at treating acne. Had 2 treatments so far and it is already improving.

I have been struggling with acne for all my life and I'm incredibly grateful to have found this place. The owner, Lina and the office manager, Charles may sound pushy during the conversation but they meant well. They want to make sure their customers are also taking care of their skin by avoiding oily food, spicy food and caffeine while getting facial treatments from them regularly. Trust me - if you listen to them and avoid those products (dairy, oily food, spicy food & caffeine), you will definitely see great improvement on your skin condition and able to maintain super smooth and brighter skin on your face (my friends and families definitely noticed the difference in my skin). I bought the package value from them and have been going in almost every month now. Initially, I started off with once a week for about a month but afterwards they will only have you come in for just once a month and still keep that glowing, smooth skin read more

omg... my girlfriend told me about this place and she is right I should have come sooner! I used to have oily skin that broke out often and after seeing them just a few times they completely cleared my skin! Lina knows everything about skin and her team Vivian and Karen are amazing and super sweet. Their manager Charles is super nice and always does his best to meet your needs. I wish I could have come sooner!! read more

I've been coming to beauty legend for 2 years and they have helped changed my skin for the better. I used to constantly struggle with acne and textured skin, and would spend a lot of time to trial and error different products - nothing worked. I was frustrated seeing my skin get progressively worse no matter how much money and effort I put into it, until I came to beauty legend. They helped me understand what my skin needed to be healthy along with curating a treatment plan for me to maintain the healthy skin. They are very detailed when extracting all the gunk from my pores and would tailor the proceeding treatments based on what my skin needs at the time. Karen has been my esthetician for almost 2 years and her service and care for my skin has been the biggest help to my skin transformation, and I know I'll always be in good hands whenever I come in. The price, compared to other salons in the area, is very reasonable considering the service and products they use. I would definitely recommend coming here for anyone who is struggling with any variety of skin issues and have been frustrated with finding a solution on their own. read more

I have been here for more than four years. The owner Lina and her assistants are very nice and sweet and made sure I was comfortable throughout the whole process. The whole process takes about 1.5hrs. They make sure all the pores clean, not just like the others clean the pores halfway. The atmosphere and music makes it a very relaxing experience. I probably would have napped if I could. Overall I am very pleased with the results, the price is right and the service is impeccable . Thank you beauty legend for the amazing experience. read more

All the people is very professional and friendly! They help remove the black dots on my face which annoyed me for 10 years and my face looks much cleaner right now! Karen helps do the daily maintenance for me and makes a lot of recommendation to keep clean face. I would recommend this place to my friends! Jason read more

I love this place, been going there for at least 4 years now, and the people are great and freiendly! Highly recommend, cause they truly care about you, and not just trying to sell things. read more

Very helpful in clearing what is under the skin. I have been to quite a few establishments and they remain the best for extractions. It's a monthly treat for my pores and hydration! read more

I don't really leave reviews on yelp, but I will give a try this time . I have been beauty legend for around two years now and I have to say Karen has been really helpful on my dry skin and listen to clients not just selling them product or package . I remember first time I came beauty legend because I saw good reviews and it's so close to where I lived , so I decided to purchase package after 1st facial experience, but then 2nd time I realized I was pregnant and I told Karen and she immediately change to the basic package and told me all the details that I need to know even I changed to the basic package instead of laser package . The other good thing about this salon is they never push me to purchase product or even advanced package even I asked , so I feel no pressure coming here and highly recommended! read more

Lina and her team did wonders for my skin before my wedding! She always thoroughly cleaned out my pores, which can be painful because I never took care of my skin before. I'm also acne prone so I had a lot of scarring which they were able to lighten with extensive treatment. I bought a pack of 10 facials, which was an amazing deal. My sessions were thorough and Lina made sure to spend the time and energy to make my skin perfect for my wedding. Thank you!! read more

I stopped by this place a couple days ago looking to get a facial. Right off the bat, the workers showed excellent customer service by greeting me at the door. The esthetician was super friendly and recommended me to the treatments that are best suitable for my skin type. Their products worked wonders for my skin. Ever since my treatment, my skin has shown visible improvement! In short, this place is my favorite in the Bay Area! Would definitely recommend. read more

I've been here more than 5 years. Lina was very professional; she always recommends me with the right treatment every month based on my skin condition. Believe or not, all my friends said I do not age; and even look younger than before. I will highly recommend Beauty Legend to every women. read more

I highly highly recommend Lina's work and I am so glad that I found Beauty Legend! They have solved many of my skin problems that had to do with my long-term allergies. In the past, I went to a lot of different beauty shops and bought many different skincare products, all with no results. Fortunately, I stumbled across Beauty Legend, and am very satisfied with their work: their service attitude is great and the skincare is of course very professional. Lina also introduced me some products for weight loss that have been working great, so not only has my skin cleared up, but I have also slimmed down a lot! read more

I have been a customer of beauty legend for almost 2 years. The staff in store are all professional and very kind. All the pimples were cleaned out after I have done facial beauty for three times. Most of the dark spots are also much lighter than before. Price is reasonabalrReally recommended. My facial specialist is Karen. She is very skillful and knowledgeable about how to improve my skin. My skin is smooth and soft under her care. After new year I came back with dark spots and pimples because of unbalanced diets. However the dark spots are all gone after she continued laser treatment for 3 times. read more

I have been coming to Beauty Legend since 2009 (a friend recommended this place when my previous facial place was charging too much and not doing a very good job). They've helped me with my sun spots, acne issues, dry skin, etc. Lina and Vivian are highly professional and always explain what their process is whenever I have questions. Charles is warm and funny and is very accommodating. Beauty Legend is my go-to facial place (my family comes here also) because they have good customer service and they know about skin scare. Thank you, Charles, Lina, and Vivian, for all your amazing work during the years. I will continue to keep coming and definitely recommend Beauty Legend to anyone looking for a thorough and professionally done facial! read more

Every salon basicly start off with cleaning, remove blackheads...etc. You look great on the first couple of days but your skin still doesn't improve. This treatment here is a little different. You entire face will look red and swallon the first couple of days but you can see the dramatic result within a week. Lina is an expert removing blackheads and minimize large pores. She is known as " the blackhead killer". Vivan and lina is very patient and professional. This is one of those treatments.... no pain no game. It is totally worth it. The first 3 treatment is painful because lina will go through and extract all of your blackheads. They use italitian products. Price: I got the package. The package is 10 session. Each session is about $90. It is about 2 to 3 hours per session. Which include 3 types of treatment. Example, deep cleaning, whiten, led lights and photoshoot light. I think it is a excellent deal because a basic facial cost about $100 without any special facial treatment. A single treatment is $100-$180. My cheek is dry but it is not absoring any product. I spended a lot money on products. Nothing works. Under the microscope, we found white heads underneath my skin causing the problem. After 1 treatment, my dead skin is falling off. (A week)My face looks brighter and pores looks smaller. I really like using the machines because it is very effective. Most salon will charge you about $200 per treatment using their machines. Usually, each session includes led light and photoshoot treatment. If you needed a long term treatment, the package is an amazing deal. Don't let the pricing on their website scare you off. Ask for the package over the phone. So far, i had 3 session within 3 weeks. ( still cleaning my pores) read more

I have been going to beauty legend for a while now. I have to say Beauty Legend provides the best, from their customer service, the quality of the products, the skill sets from their staffs. Their staffs are very professional and knowledgeable. Their equipment are also top of the line to get you the results you want. Lina, the owner, cares for her customers. She takes the time to understand your needs and has a mission to make all her customers happy and pretty each and every time. She is an expert at removing blackheads and acne. You will look great after a few visits, of course no pain no gain. It'll be red and swollen the day of, but don't worry there will be no scars. It will be smooth and shiny within a week. Everyone noticed the dramatic difference in me after a few visits. The combination of quality products and machines will get you the results you need. She would suggest what food to avoid to maximize the results. The price is very reasonable for what you get. This is definitely the place to be to have your skin pamper and see great results. They take good care of my skin every time and make my facial very enjoyable. read more

I was referred to Beauty Legend and tried it out for the first time today. Although I was skeptical before, I came out very impressed and pleased. Lina did an amazing job deep cleaning my skin and removing all the "gunk". I hadn't had a facial in over a year and she spent quite a bit of time with me. Although the extractions were a bit painful, I didn't mind; after all, "beauty is pain". My face came out squeaky clean and glowing; it looked 10 times better than when I first walked in. Lina is very thorough and takes her time to do a good job. She knows exactly what she is doing and will teach you how to maintain beautiful skin. She even walks you through all the products she uses on you. A plus is that she is very kind and sweet. In addition, all the staff here, including the Manager Charles is generous and very friendly. They are professional and will take the time to answer all of your questions. The establishment is clean and comfortable. They care a lot about the quality of service that is being provided and also carry a good array of products. Last but not least, their prices are very reasonable. If you're having any type of skin problems, including acne and dull/dead looking skin, I totally recommend you schedule an appointment with Lina. You'll be very happy. read more

Have you seen a 210 man on a facial table? Ya, that's me. The dark pores (or black heads or whatever you would call them) around my nose been bothering me since I was a teenager, so i went there and give it a shot. I've had a few facial work done before but none really give me the result that i wanted. However, Lina, who's also the owner of the shop (i believe), made it happen. She's super skillful and friendly. I didn't really believe in all these feminine stuff until I saw the work Lina put on me. I even purchased a few boxes of cleansers per her recommendation. So far they seems to be working flawlessly. Conclusion: highly recommended. I've told my friends too about Lina's Beauty Legend. read more
