I've been going to Cynthia for a few years now so this review is long overdue. Her incredible facials have become part of my regular skincare. She gives such thoughtful and personal attention to my skin's needs, which change from time to time. She's also very knowledgable in her field and has made great recommendations for me. I got a facial yesterday (was in desperate need), and my skin is completely transformed today. Smoother, calmer, and glowing. She also makes the experience truly relaxing with therapeutic neck massage and foot massage. Also I love her studio! It's a cute little bungalow in Pasadena with easy parking. Always smells so lovely in there. In general, Cynthia is a very lovely, warm person who is just a joy to be around. I always recommend her to friends whenever I can. read more

Simply the best! Cynthia has magic hands, extraordinary esthetic skills, and the most beautiful space in Pasadena. I recommend the Signature Custom Facial with the dermaplaning add-on, but you will be thrilled with any service you book with her. Truly one of a kind. read more

I gifted a facial service to my partner for his birthday with Cynthia. It was his first facial ever and after doing some research I found Cynthia to be what I was looking for his skin. My partner was truly pleased with his first facial. His skin looks incredible thanks to Cynthia. She gave him some recommendations for skin care and I really appreciated that. We'll be using her services again in the future. read more

My facial with Cynthia was wonderful. If you are looking for a facial that includes a great shoulder, upper back, leg and foot massage, along with a relaxing facial, please give Cynthia a try. I'm looking forward to making my next appointment. read more

Cynthia is absolutely amazing when it comes to brows! She takes her time and asks you how you want your brows. I have sensitive skin and my brows don't feel irritated after the service. The place is super cozy and there is easy parking. read more

Cynthia is the most knowledgeable esthetician I have ever worked with (and I've been too a lot). Not only was my face glowing and clear but I felt so relaxed afterward. The massage is such an incredible touch. Choose her for your facial needs you will not regret it !! read more

My experience with Cynthia has been wonderful. The first thing I noticed when I arrived for my appointment was the very easy parking. She is located in a small craftsman house. The atmosphere is quiet, calm and comfortable. Cynthia gave me the best facial I've ever had, including an amazing foot massage. I've also had microdermabrasion with great results. The improvement in my skin is obvious. Cynthia is very knowledgeable and experienced. She is a pleasure to be around and I feel lucky to have found her. I highly recommend her! read more

A facial with Cynthia transcends your average facial. She is energetically gifted and attuned to the needs of your body and spirit. It was such a rich experience full of dreamy smells, embodied touch, and a shoulder massage that sent waves of relief all the way to my legs. By the end I told her I didn't even care how my skin looked - though it looked good - the experience itself is so worthwhile. Looking forward to the next one. read more

I am so glad I found Cynthia! I wanted to start getting facials more regularly but wanted to find someone I could go to and also ask questions about my skin as I entered my 40s. Her facials are relaxing and feel amazing and you leave absolutely glowing. She is so knowledgeable about skincare but also doesn't push anything on you. It feels like you can truly trust her recommendations. I can't wait for my next visit. read more

Cynthia is exceptional at her work. She's a gentle, quick and thorough waxer. I'm very particular and she makes it a point to schedule extra time for my appointments so I am satisfied. She's very respectful of time, is punctual and organized, has 26 years of experience and is reasonably priced. The studio is clean and comfortable. She plays calming music during the session and there's free parking in the back! read more

Cynthia is the best! A friend introduced me and I'm hooked :) my eyebrows have never looked better and the best bikini wax I've ever had! Such good vibes and zen environment-- Mamas take a break and see Cynthia she'll make you feel like you again! Legit never leave reviews but she is just the best! read more

Cynthia is AMAZING! I saw her recommended in a local Facebook group and booked an appointment for literally the next day. Her place is so cute and calming, and parking was super easy. Cynthia herself is such a pro. She really took the time to chat with me about my skin and what I wanted to achieve. I loved that she said upfront that some people prefer to talk during the facial and some prefer quiet time and that she'd take me lead on that. She's super easy to talk to and has a lovely energy to be around. On top of the great vibes, Cynthia gave me some fantastic skincare advice and recommendations. And my skin FEELS AMAZING! This was seriously the most relaxing facial I've ever had. The neck, shoulder, and foot massages while the mask was on were pure bliss! I will definitely be back - Cynthia is a total gem! read more

After loving the first facial, I booked another one and some additional services. I booked a Brazilian wax, brow wax and tint, and a lash tint. I love how it turned out, my face looks elevated with no makeup on and I feel gorgeous. My cleaning lady commented on how pretty I was the first day she saw me after, and she's never said anything about my appearance before. Will happily book again. read more

Cynthia is kinda and compassionate listener, and all around great facialist! I came to her specifically wanting to try microdermabrasion, and boy was I happy with experience! My skin has never looked better. Her office is calm, and getting a facial from her is a very relaxing. read more

Cynthia is amazing! That was more than just a facial, it was a blissful experience. Her space is totally charming and comfortable, and her treatment left me feeling like a million bucks. Treat yourself and book her today! read more

I'm so glad I found Cynthia. I had my first facial with her and my skin looks so good! Cynthia is extremely nice and knowledgeable. Her place is so comfortable and the whole experience was lovely. I highly recommend booking an appointment and seeing for yourself how good your skin can look. read more

Finally! Where have you been all my life? I have been to several estheticians and I cannot say enough about Cynthia. I have been trying to find someone since I moved closer to Pasadena. The location is in a cute and charming neighborhood. The space is very clean and inviting. Cynthia greeted me immediately which helped break the ice, since this was my first appointment. I finally found my person. I cannot get enough of my facial experience. Cynthia took time to make me feel comfortable. She did not miss any spot on my face. There are some estheticians who rush and "skip" areas...not Cynthia who took the time, care, and detail to provide a wonderful and professional experience. I do not want to forget my hands, legs, and feet too. I am a talker; however, I did not engage in too much conversation as I really wanted to relax and stay in the moment. Cynthia was great in providing that experience. After my appointment, my skin looked and felt amazing. Looking forward to my next appointment with Cynthia. Sending hugs! read more

Cynthia a fabulous. I've seen her twice now and I'm hooked! She communicates well and I've felt very comfortable.

Cynthia is the absolute best! I will drive an hour to just come see her specifically. She really caters the facial to what your skin needs that day vs other estheticians will go through the same steps no matter what type of skin you have and what your concerns are. My skin is very sensitive and doesn't do well with chemicals so she always addresses my skin concerns in a natural way that doesn't lead to more breakouts the day after. The studio is so relaxing as well and it is so hard to not fall asleep while getting a facial lol. Definitely come here for your facial, you will not regret it! read more

I am so happy to have found Cynthia! I've been coming to her for a couple years and she is a true professional. At this point I don't trust anyone else with my skin. She gives the best facials, gentle but thorough and you even get a massage while you have a mask on. I've never been to another facialist that puts so much thought into it. My skin always looks excellent after a facial and not completely destroyed as it had looked after some other facial I have gotten. Plus she never tries to upsell you or sell you products so I know for sure if she recommends something I can trust her 100%. I have many times asked her about services and she is very upfront when she thinks it would be a waste of money. So respectful of her clients, which is not easy to find! I selfishly want to gatekeep her but truly she is the best. read more

She is amazing I wish I would have found her sooner. I spent a lot of money doing the Morpheus8 treatment over the summer with sculpt thinking it would help my skin but it didn't. I had given up on having clear skin but then I decided to make an appointment with Cynthia and it has been life changing. I've seen so much improvement in my skin with one session with Cynthia than I had with three sessions of Morpheus8. I've gone to her twice now, and my skin is so much clearer and I can actually go without makeup and I feel more confident in myself. read more

Cynthia is fantastic!! Very cute and clean studio, too. Brazilian wax was quick, very well done, and we chatted the whole time. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a comfortable and efficient service! read more

Loved my experience. Cynthia is knowledgeable in skin care and my skin was glowing for days afterwards. I am in my Kate 40's with skin that is changing. She provided a lot of feedback. She did not pressure me to purchase products or get skin care that is unnecessary. Her feedback is simple enough and not overwhelming which is exactly what I was looking for. I am definitely coming back to her on a regular basis. Also the atmosphere was a cute bungalow in Pasadena which was cozy and easy parking. read more

I echo the prior reviewers. After a recommendation I was excited to book an appointment. The studio and products used were all top notch. The facial itself was relaxing and lovely. However, the real stand out was Cynthia's service. She followed up multiple times after the facial to see how my skin was doing and recommended and ordered a product based on my skin needs. Within in a week of using the product by skin has already transformed. It's one thing to treat yourself to a nice experience, it's another to find someone that can help you address long term changes. I 100% recommend Cynthia to anyone that is looking for customized care. read more

Was looking for a new esthetician when the one I used for years moved. So glad I found Cynthia! Her location is a cute neighborhood with plenty of street parking. She takes the time to talk with you about your skin and what results you are looking for with the treatments. My facial was incredible and so relaxing. She did my eyebrows too and they looked great. Several friends commented on how good they looked. Skincare is so personal - and finding someone you trust is important. I trust Cynthia and will be back! read more

Cynthia is a pure delight. I've been having trouble finding an esthetician since moving to LA that I love. She blew me away and everything is amazing. My face was glowing and hydrated when I left. The location is adorable and so comfortable. I will be going back to her for sure!! read more

Cynthia is very knowledgeable and thoughtful about her treatments. My eyebrow wax/dye was great as was my facial. I left there with my skin actually glowing! I highly wholeheartedly recommend! read more

I haven't had a facial in years. Cynthia made the experience not only enjoyable but honestly very beneficial. I learned a lot n will definitely be coming back regularly. I highly recommend her to all but especially to man who want to improve their health and are not afraid to face the reality of aging. Jimmy C read more

I found Cynthia on Yelp and I am so happy I did! I had my first dermaplaning facial with Cynthia yesterday and I absolutely loved it! Her studio is very clean and relaxing and she made me feel comfortable right away. She was very thorough with the dermaplaning and was very knowledgeable when it came to skin care. My skin feels so soft and looks very glowy! I will definitely be back to see her! read more

Cynthia has such a wonderful caring touch. I have been a client for several years and always leave a session with her feeling refreshed and utterly pampered. She has helped my skin so much. Between her services and following her suggestions for an at home regimen, my skin looks younger and more vibrant. I have seen other estheticians before but never have had such an attentive experience that also gained glowing results. I am grateful to have found such a talented, caring professional to help me look my best. read more

I had my first visit to see Cynthia for a facial today and it won't be my last! She came highly recommended by two close friends and now I know why, she's amazing! She really took her time, making me feel completely at ease. Her space is beautiful, tranquil and relaxing. My skin is cleaner already and I left feeling truly pampered. Thank you Cynthia! read more

My favorite trips to Pasadena are my visits to see Cynthia for my lashes and brows. I found Cynthia when I was living in Pasadena many years ago. She is a pro in her trade, hospitality and communication. Her location is in an enclave of charming bungalows, and the experience of her quality service matched with friendship makes my trips from Woodland Hills worth the distance. Highly recommend Cynthia's services. read more
