I get my wax services from Nina and it's the best. She is very kind and so is the owner. They have a comfortable and safe atmosphere. If I could give them a hundred stars I would. read more

Citizen Skin - Skin Care Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I am not an expert Yelp reviewer, but when I know something is special ... I have to share. Honestly, Nacole / Citizen Skin is by far the best Facialist/Esthetician on the West Side! I love her and the space she's created. Beyond being a fabulous and effective Facialist, she's an incredible person. Her studio has such a welcoming vibe, and is such a great addition to our blossoming community. I'm so happy to find her. I'll be a lifer! read more

I definitely like Citizen Skin.n It was a great experience and NACOLE is terrific. This is a very relaxing and enjoyable time.

The Beat Facial Ever!!! If you want to pamper yourself and have the most magnificent skin ever, go in to Citizen Skin, and have Nacole do her thing! You will be 100% satisfied! read more

Moving to a new city can be tough on a girl. For my first few months here, I was convinced that I would have to save my facials and brow cleanups and haircuts--you know, all those things that require time and patience to find the best of--for my rare trips back North. Unfortunately, nobody warned me about the terrifying toll that LA takes on your skin. Enter Nacole of Citizen Skin. Overwhelmed by the overabundance of facialists in LA (each with a passel of Yelp! reviews), I did a cross check between Yelp! and Allure's top picks for facials. Citizen Skin seemed perfect, since I really prefer small-scale, personal operations (no Bliss or Burke Williams for me!). My method worked. Nacole is amazing. Although their personalities couldn't be more different, Nacole and Lara of SF's Splendente Skin are gloriously identical in their holistic and all-encompassing approach to skincare. You get every treatment in the book here--microdermabrasion, a peel, LED light therapy, extractions, and more--without being charged for each addition. And, like the best practitioners, Nacole tailors her treatment to your skin's specific needs/issues. If you want effective and full-scale skin treatment in a peaceful and intimate setting with an experienced practitioner--and if you don't, what's wrong with you?--Citizen Skin is it. read more

Battling with troubled skin for years, I've had to keep up on facials and more intensive treatments never getting the right results . I was refered to Nacole by a friend and so grateful to have met her. She know's her stuff! Is Extreamly knowledgable about the skin and which products and treatments are best for your skin type. Her products mixed with her touch are fantastic. She recommended the hylunia line for me. So excited I'm having great results with it! It's clearing my cyst's and hyperpigmentation so quickly with out the dryness, rednss or irritation I have with other products and there were lots. I have found my skin food and my facialist! Thanks Nacole. read more

Wow what a gem! Nacole is insanely passionate about skin and consequently she is a genius at repairing and healing unhappy skin. It's two days after my facial treatment and my skin looks the best it has in years. Thank you Citizen Skin! read more

I'm not a facial girl. Until this year I'd had two in my life and HATED them. I didn't enjoy the process and the chicks giving the facials were meh. Besides, my skin is fine. Sure, as I got older, the redness in certain areas got more pronounced but that's why doG created makeup, right? Then I saw my friend whose skin looked AMAZING. It had only been a month since I'd last seen her and I demanded that she tell me what she was doing. Apparently she had been seeing Nacole and that was the result. Eight months later my skin has never been more fabulous. Not only is Nacole a master of her craft but she genuinely cares about her clients. As stated above, I'm not a facial girl so I have no idea how any of it works. Nacole has been so kind and patient with me, explaining everything she does and answering my questions on what I should be doing. Nacole takes her time. I have never felt like the process was rushed or that there was another client waiting. Even at the end of the appointment, I tend to wander off slowly, booking my next appointment and asking stupid questions about her products. Nacole answers every question and I can happily say that I adore every product she's sold me. I love that she uses and stands behind the products she carries. If you want better skin or you just want to keep what you have fabulous, go see Nacole. Seriously. read more

I don't often leave reviews, but I felt like I had such a great experience today that I had to let people know about. Nacole is amazing. The facial was calming and soothing and she explained every step of the process for me. I had high expectations and it was everything I had hoped and expected from BR. But what really blew me away is how much time Nacole spent talking me through my at home routine, listening to all my concerns and helping me to make a bespoke treatment plan for my skin. She didn't pressure me to buy anything and even encouraged me to keep using some of the products I already have at home. I'm someone who spends a lot of time researching skincare, so having the opportunity to ask all my questions to an expert who was evaluating my skin was a dream come true. I am already looking forward to my next visit and excited to have someone who will work with me on my skin for the long term. Also - I saw two of her regular clients come as I was leaving and they both had incredible glowing skin. Hopefully I'm next! read more

It had been over a year since I'd had a facial. Trying to pinch my pennies, I'd neglected my skin. I was getting by on the Tea Tree facial cleanser from Trader Joe's and an assortment of left over moisturizers. We're in a recession! The thought of spending money on something as decadent as a facial was beyond my comprehension. And so this current Fall season, I'd promised myself that I would step up my quest for an acting career with casting director workshops, a gym membership, new audition clothes, and a hair style that was decidedly more "style" than "mop." I did so. My confidence grew after the first few workshops. My tummy was a little flatter from my new gym regimen. I felt spiffier in some new duds. My hair was now darker, shinier, and has a distinct radness. But there was something lacking. Lackluster, shall we say. Looking in the mirror, I realized my once flawless skin wasn't flawlessly GLOWING like it used to. What to do? I couldn't stop all the improvements before I got to my face! As an actress, my visage is indeed my most important asset. To top off the new commitment to myself, I needed to go the extra step and get my skin back to that supple, healthy clearness that friends and acquaintances had ceased to comment on. Walking down Westminster Ave one recent afternoon, I discovered Citizen Skin. I took a brochure. I perused the website. This little skin spa was worlds beyond the generic Dermalogica facials that I used to do regularly. I spoke to Nacole, the owner and aesthetician. She was genuinely interested and concerned about my own individual skin needs. Most of her products are French. She immediately treated me like a long-time girlfriend. Her knowledge about skin, overall health, and what we put in and ON our bodies is VAST. I trusted her immediately and made an appointment. Nacole did the signature Citizen Skin facial for me. Her space is small but modern and inviting. She doesn't throw in any frou-frou bits like champagne or an ipod playing Hindu chants. She simply focuses on your skin. She took her time. She reminded me how beautiful my skin actually is. Contrary to my statement that my skin had become "gross and cloggy." The main steps were a spicy pumpkin peel, the perfector, and a Vitamin A treatment. I FREAKING LOVED ALL OF IT. The spicy pumpkin actually FELT spicy on my skin. Some clients don't LOVE the heat they feel from this treatment, so Nacole supplied me with a little handheld fan. I could just imagine the little enzymes from the cinnamon and the pumpkin clearing out my pores and all the yucky old skin. The perfector treatment are actually two little metal rods that Nacole used to transmit very light electric currents to my skin. She said that this would promote circulation, a healthy flush, and plumpness. Finally, she applied a Vitamin A treatment. She said that Vitamin A was essential for an anti-aging regimen. ANTI-AGING!?!??! Already?? Oh yes, I DID just turn, well, I won't put the number in "print." But Nacole gently said anyone over the age of 25 should begin their anti-aging treatments. Going on a week later, I have no more cloggy pores. My face feels supple and soft. People are commenting on "what beautiful" skin I have again. My confidence has returned, and it shows on camera. I will never wait another year for a facial. In fact, I've already got my next appointment on the books at Citizen Skin. read more

Nacole is a godsend. My skin was feeling dull and dry. I was in dire need of some skin love. After 90 mins of pampering and relaxing I opened my eyes to brightened smooth skin. Now I know that smooth skin is a given in almost every facial. But the difference with Citizen Skin is that she gives a you a personalized experience. She explains each application as she goes along. Her touch is gentle and sensitive- something my skin wimpy skin appreciates. The studio itself is warm and calming. It's beautiful, spotless and inviting. I'd recommend Citizen Skin to anybody looking to improve the health and appearance of their skin. read more

Im new to the area and was in need of a facial after vacationing in cold weather that caused lots of drying and chapping to my skin. A salon i was in refereed me to Nacole so I took a chance. It was a fabulous facial experience. She was very personable and product informative. she took her time before, during and after with me. I was also 100% satisfied with the results the following day and definitely plan on going back! . read more

I love Nacole! I have been a regular client with her for over 3 years now and my skin keeps getting better. She knows her stuff and is intelligent, passionate and a thorough professional. I used to have regular skin breakouts and it looked uneven, dehydrated. Using the products she recommends and sticking with my routine monthly facials have helped sooo much. Pimples are rare and I am so much more aware of my skin. I also have a good time during my facials and enjoy our conversations. Highly recommend her. read more

Wow wow wow. That's how I sum up Nacole's facial. First now: I spent my Thanksgiving holiday with my extended family (haven't seen them in 2 years) and while we were together heard comments and raves about my skin. Most of these came from the women my age or younger about how my pores looked smaller, and my skin overall seemed brighter/smoother/more clear - no one could quite figure out what was different, but that it looked great. One even asked if I used Botox, and I responded by scrunching up my brow to show that the lines are still there when the muscles work it ! One week later, even my brother made a comment about my skin to me....since when do brothers even notice something like that and if they do, say nice things to kid sisters? One year ago: I grew tired of not enjoying my facial and was looking for a new aesthetician when a friend recommended Nacole. She stressed that she used high-tech equipment for anti-aging and improved circulation, etc. and did much more than just a steam and extract type of facial. On my first visit I was very comfortable with her and her quiet, comfortable space. I trusted her to just do what she felt I needed, and she explained everything - the equipment, what it does, and what to expect. I felt pampered and was able to relax and enjoy a facial for the first time EVER. My skin was actually glowing when I left - another first. My history: I grew up with problem skin, the kind of cystic acne that was always messy and painful. I started with facials in my early 20's and when I was consistent, the regular (monthly) facials left me red and picked-over-looking for days afterward, then I would have clear skin for about a week or two before the breakouts started up again. The idea of actually looking good immediately after a facial was inconceivable - I would often break out right away before things cleared up and got better. Final thoughts: It seems a little funny to get comments on my skin, now that I am in my 40's, but I do appreciate it so much more now. Nacole uses high-end, high-tech equipment, carries fine skin care lines, and has a warm inviting studio. She NEVER rushes, cuts corners, or seems anything other than relaxed and happy to see me. She is familiar with many skin care lines and makes suggestions about products, but never pushes what she carries and samples them for me when she can. Nacole is awesome....I cannot fully describe how fantastic she is. I've just hit the one-year mark of being a faithful client, the first of many. read more

I moved to LA from NYC about four years ago and Nacole came extremely highly recommended to me by an A-list celebrity whose opinion I trust on all things beauty. And I tell you, I will never go to another facialist again. Nacole is simply the BEST, incredibly knowledgable about skin, she uses only the best in products -- all clean/non-toxic but powerful -- and the technology she uses is also something I have not seen at other spots. This is personal attention to your skin at its best. I feel so privileged to know Nacole and I feel like a star every time I walk out of there with radiant skin :) read more

I first met Nacole last summer while I was working in a pop up clothing store on Abbot Kinney. She came into the store to tell us she had just opened up and offered us free (!) facials that turned out to really be free! I'm in my mid-20s and feel very grateful to have found someone who I'd like to stick with forever to maintain what has become the best skin I've had since in the past decade. She is super thorough and really understands skincare and is a pleasure to be around. read more

The best. Having been to many skin care specialists over too many decades, Nacole is the most knowledgeable, aware and effective. She knows what your skin needs, provides it and creates an individualized treatment plan to care for your skin on your own between visits. She will dynamically transform your skin to its highest and most youthful potential. read more

For the past two years I have been going to Nacole for monthly facials. I have had facials all over the world and my skin has never been better - clearer, healthier and radiant. The technology and products that they use at Citizen Skin are amazing - very natural and state of the art. The most unusual part is that you look great when you walk out of your facial - that has never happened to me before! It is a joy to be there and a true pleasure to have trouble free skin for the next 3-4 weeks. I am 100% grateful to all her help and expertise. A true gem in Venice and true skin experts. read more
