What a blessing to have this place in Walnut Creek! My daughter is a regular client of Brandon's,…read moreand even tho we just started treatment a month ago, her skin is already looking so much better. Even tho she's currently at the purging phase, her skin is still healthy and glowing. The products we bought from them are affordable, gentle and effective. Brandon is the best in acne facials. He removes all the white heads and black heads, and is very strategic in what he puts on her teenage skin. He's also a really cool guy, that makes you feel at ease. If you're dealing with acne, this is place to go, and Brandon is the person to see!

Just adding yet another glowing review for Brandon in Walnut Creek - after a few difficult…read moreexperiences w very mixed results at other places closer to our home, each time I drive out to Walnut Creek it's so worth the drive to get a facial w Brandon - the results always are such a pleasant relief! His meticulous skills and friendly efficient manner makes the whole process just perfect. Recommend him not just for acne-related facials but also for any sort of maintenance facial you're needing. Two thumbs way up!

While I compiled this review, I became emotional looking back at how bad my skin used to be and how…read moreit used to pay a toll on my confidence. Most days, I couldn't leave the house without wearing face makeup and now I can live out what a joy it is to feel confident with no makeup. Lisa has brought back my confidence and cares so so deeply. Even after the first chemical peel, my skin started to get better. And after each one, it's only gotten better and better. She answers my questions after hours which is super convenient and personable. When I used to go to the dermatology for almost 2 years, I didn't have that luxury and my skin wasn't getting progressively better. When I first called her because I I was wondering if I would be a good fit for the treatments, she kindly stayed on the phone with me for a whole hour giving me honest advice. I couldn't recommend anyone more. since then, she helped clear the skin of multiple of my friends as well.

Words can barely describe how thankful I am for Lisa. Last…read moreyear in august I hated looking in the mirror, I remember a few days before I first contacted Lisa I looked in the mirror and I didn't even recognize myself anymore. Most of my acne was so painful even washing my face was painful, sleeping on a pillow was sometimes excruciating pain. Anyone who struggles with acne understands this feeling to some extent. I finally contacted her and I set up an appointment. In one month I saw a significant difference. And in a little less than a year I have no acne. ..at all. (Maybe I will get one little breakout around my cycle each month, but even that's rare now) I recognize myself again. I am so thankful I found her. She has changed my life. I am a professional wedding photographer and my image is something I take very seriously. Lisa's services are worth every Penny. Thank you Lisa!!

I've been seeing Cristina since 2014 now.. pretty much almost monthly! My skin feels amazing and…read moreI'm constantly getting so many compliments. I love that she's always adding other services. Just yesterday I had the Hydrodermabrasion facial with LED and oxygen. Woke up with flawless skin!! She never pushes products either but I've been using the Lira products. Highly recommended and prices are reasonable. I've referred at least 6 friends and they all feel the same. Also appreciate how she gets to know my skin and takes her time. Thank you thank you!!

Cristina at The Skin Gem goes above and beyond to create a safe and comfortable experience…read more I went in for a facial about three weeks ago; in the midst of the pandemic and I was immediately impressed with the extra measures Cristina took to provide a clean and sanitary environment. She was wearing all the proper PPE including a mask, face shield, and gloves; she provided me with hand sanitizer and she sprayed down every surface both before and after my visit. As for my facial, she customized EVERYTHING to suit my skin. She also introduced me to a line of Lira products made with an ingredient exclusively grown and extracted on a Greek island. It smelled and felt AMAZING! And I was fascinated by the story behind it! Turns out, Mastiha is a resin from the mastic tree. Locals call it the "tears of Chios" because it is derived from the island of Chios and is produced in "tears" or droplets. Because the ingredients are so unique and difficult to get, I felt like I was getting a very exclusive type of treatment. And for good reason! When I went in, my skin was very dry and dull. I also suffer from seborrheic dermatitis around my nose and my skin was a little red and irritated. Cristina focused on brightening and evening my skin tone as well as minimizing pores and replenishing hydration to get my glow back. She walked me through the entire process; educating me about the products she was using and the results I could expect. For instance, she used the MASQ-tech technology with the patented mastiha formula, lactic acid and retinol for anti-aging. She also used LED light therapy to rehydrate my face, increase collagen and reduce my fine lines. My before and after pics were shocking, but I'm writing this review now because I'm still seeing results three weeks later! I'm really looking forward to going back again soon. I highly recommend Cristina! She's very knowledgeable, friendly, and conscientious!

Victoria reached out to my husband for another hydrafacial and he accepted. He came back after the…read morehydrafacial looking much better. The lesson we learned from all of this is that the hydrafacial is superior to other facials and allows for better extractions. Victoria's hydrafacial skills are fantastic. If my husband needs another hydrafacial which he probably will at some point then he will book with Victoria again. With Victoria's advice, my husband will switch to a different brand of sunscreen, one that is mineral-based which will be easier on his pores. Thank you Victoria for making a positive difference to my husband's skincare goals!

I would not recommend this place for Botox. I started going here for facials last year and they are…read moregreat! Unfortunately, I got Botox and it caused me to have Ptosis (severe lazy eye). I am on week 3 of this and my Doctor said it will most likely last 1-2 months! I have cancelled so many events because I don't feel comfortable being around people looking like this. I also do most of my work on Zoom so this has affected my job (again, I don't feel comfortable being on camera). I contacted the place and even though they were nice about it, they would not refund my money. I know it is a risk anytime that you do injectables but to do this to a customer and then charge them $730 for it, doesn't sit right with me. Who cares if I signed something, you took $ for a service and then botched my face for most of my summer. Unacceptable. DO NOT GET BOTOX HERE!

I had cheek fillers done in October and this is one of my biggest regrets. I originally came in…read morejust to add some volume to my cheeks and the injector convinced me that I needed more structure that will "lift" my face more. They upsold me 2 syringes of juvederm and prp under eyes for a whopping $2,000. All of this was such a waste because my face just looks like a round fat pillowy face and when I look at my before pictures I looked so much younger with nice cheek bone structure. The difference is saddening. Five months later and I have now decided it will not settle anymore and look any better and that I've come to reality that this was a big mistake. Do not trust them to enhance your beauty. They will ruin your looks so that they can make an extra buck. I thought I could trust them because of the good reviews but this was clearly not the case.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Simply Skin Aesthetics in Walnut Creek. From the moment I…read morewalked in, I felt welcomed and completely at ease. The studio is clean, beautifully decorated, and has a calm, peaceful vibe that immediately sets the tone for relaxation. I had the Hydrafacial and Dermaplaning done by Sandy Bishop, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. The Hydrafacial left my skin feeling incredibly refreshed, deeply cleansed, and hydrated without any irritation. My pores looked smaller, my skin tone more even, and I was absolutely glowing when I walked out. The Dermaplaning was equally impressive -- Sandy's technique is so gentle yet precise. It removed all the peach fuzz and dull skin, leaving my face buttery smooth and radiant. Makeup goes on like a dream now! What really made the whole experience outstanding was Sandy herself. She is kind, professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and truly passionate about skincare. She took the time to explain every step, listened carefully to my concerns, and customized the treatment to fit my skin's needs. You can tell she genuinely cares about her clients and loves what she does. I've already recommended her to several friends, and I will definitely be back. If you're looking for expert skincare in Walnut Creek, Simply Skin Aesthetics with Sandy Bishop is a gem. My skin has never looked or felt better!

Do not recommend this MedSpa the owner Adrianne ignored my message when I had a question about…read moregetting my lips done. I wasn't aware that she doesn't inject anymore and left my message on seen instead of answering my question, very unprofessional and rude too . I still proceeded to get my lips done with another injector to give this place a chance but didn't get the results I was looking for and made me pay extra. I let the injector know I needed more filler on one side via message and the Front desk receptionist basically said not to bother the nurse. I'm happy I found a new place.There's way better MedSpa's that actually care about their clients and not just about over charging. Do not waste your money here.
