A Truly Healing Experience - Inside and Out Every visit is such a calming, restorative experience. The skincare treatments are incredibly effective, but what really sets this place apart is the thoughtful, holistic approach. You can tell there's so much knowledge and intention behind everything--from the products used to the way each session is personalized. Not only does my skin feel amazing afterward--clearer, brighter, more balanced--but I always leave feeling lighter and more grounded. There's this peaceful energy in the space that makes it feel like more than just a facial--it's like a reset for your body and mind. Her hands have a truly magical touch--gentle, intuitive, and so healing, it's like they know exactly what your skin and spirit need. The blend of skincare, wellness, and mindfulness is truly something special. If you're looking for real results and a deeper sense of care, this is the place. Highly recommend! read more

The best facial I ever had. Dalini made me feel welcome and provided such a great experience. I highly recommend booking a Fascial especially if you are an older gentleman looking to take care of your skin. read more

I had the incredible opportunity to experience Vibroacousric Therapy with Dalini and it was nothing short of transformative. From the moment I walked into her Serene space, I felt at ease, knowing I was in the hands of a true professional. One of the main reasons I ask Dalini about the Vibroacousric Therapy was for my badly bruised and swollen foot. After just one session, the results were remarkable. The low-frequency sound waves and gentle vibrations seemed to work magic. -by the next day, the swelling had significantly reduced and the bruising was almost gone. It was as though the therapy had reached into my tissues,promoting healing. Beyond the physical improvements, I left feeling deeply relaxed and recharged. Dalini's personalized approach and genuine care made all the difference. I can't recommend her enough for anyone seeking a holistic, non-invasive way to heal and find relief. I love her facials as well. So incredible and relaxing. Her yanka and Babor products are the best. I even share them with my husband. I can't wait to go back every month. Thank you Dalini, for your incredible work. Feeling Great, Karen Lamson read more

Really happy with the service I received and the quality of my time spent with Dalini. I've been looking for a place like this for an awhile now. Peaceful and relaxing. Love that it's in a location with an immense amount of parking and little to no people (on the weekends at least.) read more

Such a beautiful and calming space to get services done. I've been 3 times (1 facial & 2 bikini waxes) and each time it's been peaceful and professional and I've had great results! read more

I can't recommend Darlene enough. I've been getting her personalized facials (my go-to) for a couple years, and I always leave feeling refreshed and brand-new. Her expertise with skincare really comes through as she describes her recommended treatments and what they'll accomplish. Her expertise in body work is also incorporated if you like: chest, neck, and back need love, too. Speaking of refreshing, her quiet, private spot is a welcome change from high-traffic mall spas pushing product. She *does* have great products and I always buy one, but it's never a sell. Thank you from me and my skin! read more

My wife and I both see Dalini for our personal needs. She is a delightful soul that has a calm and caring manner. Her level of care and professionalism is off the charts. She uses only the finest products and equipment in her practice. Not only does my wife enjoy her incredible facials with a beautiful after glow but we both have been treated with Microcurrent that helps heal our woes. Roni and Marty highly recommend her!!! read more

I ran into Dalini via pure coincidence ....but if you ask me the universe planned in that way. I saw her for a reading and healing, she is amazing!

I would recommend and I will see her again! read more

I've been getting facials with Dalini for the past several years. She is not only highly talented and knowledgeable, she is also incredibly warm hearted and caring. I'm glad I found Dalini! read more

Darlene is a real pro at both skincare and waxing. It is really nice to be able to have a "one stop shop" instead of running all over town to two or three different places for different services. Her place feels very zen and balanced and her bubbly personality is always a pleasure to be around. She uses Yon Ka products, one of my favorites and will help you create a regime for your skin type. She is not pushy with sales, which is huge for me because I hate being sold things I don't need or want. I highly recommend her and do to many of my clients! read more

I've had two facials by Dalini, both were very enjoyable. Dalini is kind, heartwarming, and knows how to extract even the toughest pore. During the facial she would talk about meditation practices and other relaxation techniques, which I enjoyed. She also taught me things to do at home to obtain better skin tone and clarity. (i.e. using sunscreen, clay masks, home pore extracting) Using the things she's taught me my skin has literally been transformed. I've been asked multiple times, "Did you get botox?" or "What did you do to get your skin to look so healthy?". I just laugh, and give them Dalini's phone number. read more

I have found Dalini to provide the best facials of my life. Despite the fact she looks like she just turned 30 she has been a esthetician for well over 20 years. She has an intuitive, experienced sense of what will work best for you as an individual. I had same major problems as I hit a certain age and through her treatments and products she was able to get my skin back on track. Her prices are very reasonable and the whole experience is top notch. If you are anywhere near Downtown San Rafael give her a try, you will come back. read more

I started receiving facials about 5 years ago after my niece threatened never to speak to her uncle again if I didn't spend time with her at the spa. Well five years later I'm hooked and have to say that Dalini Skin Care provides the best facials. Professional, knowledgeable, relaxing and you walk out feeling and looking good. read more

Make an appointment for a micro- current facial. You will not regret it. People will notice your youthful and luminous skin and they will comment. People think that I am years younger than I look. It must be my monthly micro- current, that keeps my skin looking so good. I have been receiving treatments with Dalini for over 12 years. We talk, through the cleansing, exfoliating steaming, extracts and my favorite part - the micro- current, then comes the facial massage and upper back and neck massage, and I usually fall asleep during the masque. By the end of the 1.5 hour treatment I am a new women. Relaxed, Refreshed and Radiant . What I love best about Dalini is that I have so much fun with her. We solve the problems of the world and sometimes more personal ones. I always feel great at the end of my treatment and visit with Dalini. I can't see myself going anywhere else. read more

Getting a facial from Dalini is a wonderful gift. My wife gave me this for Christmas. Every part of the hour plus experience was exquisite. I'll return again and again. I hope you do too. read more

What you need to do when you go for a treatment with Dalini is to completely surrender yourself to her care.

When you leave the salon both your skin and your spirit are revitalized. What more could you ask for? read more

Dalini is a gift is so many more ways than just taking exquisite care of my skin. I enjoy routine facials with Dalini and believe my skin is better for it as well as my soul. Dalini determines when she sees me what my skin is in need of as it changes with the seasons, my stress level, what I've been eating, etc. and then she decides which facial to give me. The Yonka facial is amazing as Dalini also includes an amazing upper back/face/head massage that leaves me feeling as if I have transcended to a higher place. The micro current facial makes one look younger immediately, I swear! And, her ultraviolet lights will take years off your skin too! Dalini is not only a great esthetician but a beautiful soul in this world that you will be lucky to experience. You're going to love her!!! read more

I've been coming to Dalini since 1994 and she is quite simply the best. She is more than an esthetician, she is a gifted healer and one of the world's kindest and most insightful human beings. Her salon is a sacred space, not just an office, so a visit to Dalini is a special, relaxing treat. She cares very much about her clients and has the knowledge and experience to do create real and lasting results. I recommend her without reservation. read more

On my 40th Birthday, my older sister suggested I start getting regular facials 'to keep my healthy glow'. That was in 1997, and 19 years later I have been so spoiled by Darlene that no one since has compared. Yes, I've been on destination vacations and spa retreats with exquisite reputations, but there is something about the 'connective-ness' as a whole that encompasses the mind, spirit and body that she brings to her craft. I recommend her highly, she's a treasure! read more

I have been working with Dalini for several months now because I suffer daily from anxiety and other sometimes overwhelming fears and pains due to traumatic and abusive experiences from my childhood. She has been guiding me and teaching me to reconnect with the deepest part of myself. In this place within myself I have found a peace that in all my years of meditation, clairvoyance, energetic healing work and use of medications and diet I have never experienced. She creates a space for me to release my pain and fear and to reconnect and cultivate an inner peace that encompasses not only my emotional and mental hurts but actually dissolves my physical pain and surrounds it all with an understanding and acceptance for who I am and all that I face. For the first time in my life I feel an inner peace viscerally throughout my body. Because of her amazing intuitive ability I have been able to find this inside myself. This is the peace and hope I have been searching for my entire life. I will continue to work with Dalini and highly recommend her to everyone no matter what your life experience has been. Go and find the peace that belongs to you, that is you! read more

I am middle-aged and my skin has never looked better. Dalini is a masterful skincare professional. Whether you opt for a facial (the Deep Hydration is wonderful) or my go-to service, the Ultimate Age-Defying facial which employs micro-currents to help eliminate fine lines and wrinkles and stimulate collagen, you can't go wrong. Dalini uses only natural products to protect and nourish the skin. I have eczema so this is a plus. Dalini is warm-hearted and welcoming and her salon is an oasis of calm. I leave looking radiant and feeling refreshed. read more
