I also got some sage advice on beauty products and knowing which ones are a waste of money versus worth the money. Thank you Nadya!

From the moment I walked in, the staff was warm, professional, and made me feel completely at ease. Dr. Vafaie took the time to really listen to my concerns, explain my treatment options in detail, and answer all of my questions without rushing me - she even was gracious enough to complete my keloid excision at the end of her work day, and was very gentle. I came in for treatment related to scarring and skin texture, and the level of care and precision was outstanding. Everything was explained clearly - from the procedure itself to aftercare - so I felt confident and well-prepared. I can already see a noticeable improvement in my skin.l, and my keloid is already flattened out nicely as I'm on the road to recovery. What stood out the most was how attentive and thorough the entire team was. You can tell they genuinely care about their patients and want the best outcomes, especially for something as stubborn as kp and a keloid. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, skilled, and compassionate dermatologist!

I came to Lynne for the first time a few months ago after seeing a deal for the Goddess Facial on…read moreGroupon and I'm super glad I did. I've been going to Lynne every 5ish weeks since I first came to her and my skin has improved so much. Lynne knows exactly what she's doing and she's really good at it. On your first visit, she'll take a look at your face and learn about what sort of products your using so she knows what will be best to use during the facial. The Goddess Facial lasts about an hour and it's super relaxing, aside from the extractions which really can't be avoided. Lynne is as gentle as possible during the extractions and she's able to get so much gunk out of your pores. My face always looks SO clean the next day after the redness and swelling dies down. There's $2 parking with validation across the street at the structure next to Trader Joe's so make sure you give yourself extra time to park and walk over.

I wanted to write an honest review today for those who have been struggling with chronic acne for…read moreover half of their lives like I have. I came to Lynne as a last resort after trying everything in the book - Accutane, Proactive, every possible antibiotic, probiotics, various types of birth control, over the counter creams, lasers, peels, DIY treatments, changes in diet, you name it. At 28, I felt that my self esteem had completely plummeted as a result of my ongoing acne. I found that there were days where I couldn't wake up without a breakout. I was constantly searching for a better way to cover my breakouts and new technologies to help my issue. Was I covered in cysts all over my face, neck and back, like I had before I went on Accutane? No. But I would get painful cysts around my chin ALL the time, and would get them around my temples and they would easily turn a good day into a bad one. I felt a lot of shame around the fact that at my age, I would look around the room at work and realize that I was the only one with a face full of caked on makeup, when everyone else had clear and glowing skin. Or that I still had days where I could not leave my house because of the condition my face was in. My experience with Lynne was interesting, to say the least. She is a very sweet, informative and passionate esthetician, but unfortunately I did not feel that we were the best match. When I first contacted her with my story I stressed multiple times that I was not sure that I could afford her program. She does not take insurance as most medical practices do. Despite that, she made sure to reach out to me constantly, via phone, email, Yelp, etc. to coax me into booking an appointment, even after I had communicated that I am not sure that I could afford the appointment and will get back to her when I can. When I finally, out of desperation, decided to go through with the booking, she sent me a long text about a $1,000 acne boot camp, which surprised me, because I barely had scraped up the money to pay for my first facial and the products (roughly $380). I wasn't anywhere near ready to pay for a full set of sessions, especially without knowing what the results would be after a few days or a few weeks. When I saw Lynne she was polite and informative, although she did say something that threw me off a bit. She told me that my skin "wasn't what she expected," as if to say that it should have been SO much worse in relation to all of the suffering I had expressed to her. Acne is an incredibly sensitive, heart wrenching issue that so many young women and adults suffer from. It takes over your life. And I have had to deal with it every day since I was 12. Minimizing the issue communicates a lack of sensitivity in my opinion. No two clients are the same, but it doesn't mean that my skin doesn't affect me in the same ways that it does, let's say, a woman with cystic acne all over her face. I was that woman. Anyway, Lynne continued with her extractions, gave me the products and sent me home. The very next day I could tell that something was wrong. I had a red rash all over my face, tiny bumps and breakouts everywhere and cysts forming in places they never had before. As I am typing this I have one on my nose near my eyebrow and under my chin near my neck. Every day I have been waking up with terrible breakouts, 8 at a time, and every day my skin has gotten tighter, drier, and has experienced burning and sensitivity. Her response to me was that "it doesn't set off any red flags" and that I should continue the process. My skin was just undergoing a treatment that it had never been through before. Eight days later....all I can say is that I have never seen my skin produce such a terrible reaction in such a short amount of time, day after day. I knew that something was wrong, and went to see a dermatologist. She had told me that I developed an infection from the extractions, have reacted badly to the products, and she prescribed me a whole new line of products as well as antibiotics to get rid of the infection. After just ONE day of taking the doctors recommended products I can see a complete change in my skin. My smaller breakouts dried out in one night and my skin appears so much calmer. I highly recommend that those of you experiencing similar problems look into a product line called SkinMedica and consult a doctor before considering other options or experiencing adverse reactions. I would also suggest, if you are strapped financially, to highly consider the risks of any type of treatment plan like this, before putting down $1,000 for the bootcamp - you may not be happy with the results.

I originally came to her because I had a ton of milia, enlarged pores, and wanted healthier skin overall. I can honestly say my skin has never looked better. I don't break out anymore, my pores are noticeably smaller, and every single time I leave an appointment my skin is glowing. It genuinely looks like I have no pores when I walk out. Her extraction technique is unlike anything I've ever experienced. She's incredibly gentle but so thorough, and somehow I've never been left with scarring or unnecessary irritation. You can tell she's invested so much into her education and has learned techniques from all over the world because her work is on a completely different level. Beyond her talent, she's just an incredible human being. Every appointment feels like catching up with someone who truly cares about you. She gives the best advice, celebrates your wins, encourages your goals, and somehow always knows exactly what you need to hear. As a mom herself, she's also given me so much advice that's helped me through motherhood and pregnancy. I've walked in stressed more times than I can count and always leave feeling lighter, more confident, and with glowing skin. She has become so much more than my aesthetician she's someone I genuinely look forward to seeing every month. If you're thinking about booking with her, do it. She is worth every single penny, and I truly can't imagine trusting anyone else with my skin.

After just two facials with her, my skin transformed in ways I never thought possible. Every visit leaves me in awe--my complexion is glowy, dewy, and more radiant than ever. Honestly, I feel like my skin is even better now than when I was younger, all because of the care and expertise she provides. Her approach is unparalleled. From her techniques to the carefully curated skincare products she uses, every aspect of her practice is tailored to deliver the best possible results. She is worth every single penny. Her space is intimate, beautiful, and serene, offering a luxury, one-on-one experience that surpasses even the most high-end spas. While large spas may offer extra amenities, Eti's personalized care and expertise provide results that speak for themselves. I recommend her to everyone I know--even my husband! I am beyond happy and grateful to be under her care, and I cannot say enough good things about her. If you're looking for truly transformative skincare, Eti is the one.

Went in…read morefor my appointment where I was treated excellently by the waiting staff and offered refreshments in the form of a Perrier seltzer. Once I filled out my form and handed back the ipad, I waited a total of 5 min before I was greeted by another staff member who took me take photos of my face before putting in a glass surround corner exam room, mind you on the 9th floor on Wilshire in Brentwood right before Santa Monica. The views were excellent the room was well decorated, organized, with breathtaking views and nothing like a hospital exam room. I was then introduced to Nikki H. my injector, who seemed very courteous and welcoming. She asked me specific questions regarding what were goals with tox and then asked if i'd make certain expressions with my face so she can make her analysis. Immediately after she had the NP Lovely come in and review the treatment we agreed on. Once she came, set up her kit, then proceeded to stick me while I was talking to the NP. Funny thing I didn't feel a thing and it was seemless. Once treatment was completed Nikki walked me to the reception to schedule a follow-up and was incredibly kind. This isn't my first rodeo so to have an injector handle the procedure so delicately for me not to notice while I was in mid discussion, was excellent. Happy to say due to the ambience, staff, an amazing injector Nikki and timely service. I will definitely be going back to them soon. Thanks Skin by Lovely and Nikki H. (Injector)

I started noticing a difference within a few months and after a year of treatments and my revised skin routine I felt like my skin was finally back to the way it used to be (acne-free, texture-free, bouncy, and glowing). It's now been two years with Cynthya and the Skin by Lovely team and my skin is better than ever. I rarely wear makeup and usually opt for a lightly tinted sunscreen. I can't recommend them enough!! Added (and very important) bonus: They're the kindest group of people who go above and beyond for their patients.

I went in thinking I could just jump right back in to the color, highlights and cut I used to have. Unfortunately, after that illness and age, my hair had irreversibly changed and was too weak to take the processes it would take to make my "fantasy" happen. Naz was honest with me, empathetic and kind..she gave me realistic suggestions and "held my hand" throughout, used products that actually helped my hair and educated me on how to use them. I didn't walk out with the fantasy, but I did walk out with healthy, beautiful hair with a great cut. My husband noticed my hair right away (after 20 years of marriage this is a rare occurrence) and thought it looked amazing. And at the end of the day, I felt great about my hair and that's how you want to feel when you walk out of the salon. I cannot recommend Naz and Salon Biology enough!

I had a very disappointing experience with my lash lift at Salon Biology…read more The lash lift I received barely made a difference. A few days after my appointment, I called to let them know I wasn't happy with the results. I was told to wait about three weeks before coming back to have it redone. When I called back after that, no one answered. I then left for a work trip to Japan. When I returned, I submitted a request through their website asking for a refund. Someone from the salon called me and asked if I wanted to come back and have the same technician redo the service. I politely asked if I could have a different technician instead, but I was told that wasn't an option. Since I wasn't comfortable having the same person perform the service again, I again requested a refund. Then the owner told me it's too late to have someone at the salon redo it or to get a refund. Horrible customer service. I've attached photos comparing the results. The first photo is the lash lift I received from Salon Biology. The second photo is from a different salon that charged about half the price, and the results were dramatically better. Based on my experience, I would not recommend Salon Biology for lash lifts. I was disappointed not only with the quality of the service but also with how my concerns were handled. I will not be returning.

She is not only the best in LA - I am sure she is one of the…read morebest in the world: LA is my hometown but I have lived in different states as well as many years abroad in different countries, and I basically gave up on trying to find a waxist anywhere else. No one measures up to Simin -- they're either not properly equipped, don't know what they're doing, or are outrageously priced. Simin offers quality and value. She's experienced and has been operating from the same location in Westwood for decades. She uses only high quality fabric strips and melted European honey wax (as well as pink wax for sensitive areas). She's very thorough, but you can also look yourself over and let her know if she missed any spots and she's always happy to go over them again; she even takes the time to tweeze hairs here and there that are too short to be waxed. As I noticed other Yelpers have already pointed out, she's very good with hygiene and maintaining her work space so her salon always feels clean. And what really seals the deal are how reasonable her prices are. Most of the times I've made the mistake of trying to get waxed elsewhere I've been (sometimes literally) sorely disappointed. On the few occasions I've had decent results, it was never good value like it is with Simin. I refer her to all my girl friends and know how loyal her clientele are because just like me they don't go to anyone else but her. So for years every time I am back in town I make sure to schedule an appointment with Simin, otherwise while I am away I try various methods of self grooming at home (even though Simin often scolds me for shaving as she can tell on my next visit when my hair is "razor cut"). It helps too that Simin is flexible with appointment times, and in the past she even accommodated me with evening appointments when needed. Lastly, Simin is very personable, taking the time to get to know you and always remembering where you left off the next time she sees you even if it's been months! She's funny, posh, & cultured. It always feels like visiting an old friend and I know she's going to take good care of me every time. **** Just a small extra piece of advice: be sure to read the street parking signs carefully because they do ticket like crazy in Westwood :P
