I got a same day appointment without any issue. The treatments are highly individualized according to your skin, brows, etc. the treatment rooms all looked professionally cleaned and tidy. Jay did an amazing job. The most dedicated thing I ever experienced was when my phone timer when off during my treatment, rather than interrupting my treatment, Jay went outside to out more money in the meter for me! I couldn't believe how kind this was. I was truly appreciative. The service and products are too notch. The staff are professional and know their stuff. Give them a try for all your needs. You won't regret it!

I recently came here for a Microdermabrasion facial with LED Light therapy. The space place isn't…read morehard to find. It's across Trader Joe's on California street. The space is bright, more like a lab feel than a spa. This was my first time here and my first Microdermabrasion. Megan did my facial and she did a wonderful job. She was prompt, thorough and informative. Her professionalism and service level were superb. We started off with a consultation to discuss the process and my specific needs. From there she mixed up a custom serum and massaged it over my face and neck. She then used a diamond Microdermabrasion pen. We finished up with a 10 minute LED light treatment. You have 3 different light options (red, blue and green).

Upon arrival, my fabulous esthetician Kristin, customized my facial according to my skin's needs. Not only was she enjoyable to chat with, but also extremely knowledgeable about product ingredients and skin-types. I left relaxed with my skin hydrated, smooth and glowing! I was so relaxed I forgot my complimentary and customized skin serum (which the owner personally curated!), so the wonderful owner was kind enough to send it to me via snailmail. Very thoughtful, detail oriented, and excellent customer service! I will definitely be back in the future to see Kristin for another facial!!

I LOOOOOVE their skincare. I can't believe how it's basically stopped time for me. I use the…read moreradiance revealing cream, the aromatic treatment oil and the restoring cream. Their cleanser is also soothing and non-drying. I use that and I alternate with my scrub and my Clarisonic. If you don't have a Clarisonic, get one asap. It's cheap on eBay. Their radiance revealing cream is surprisingly hydrating and it combats and prevent dark spots. I even have my husband using the treatment oil. This is a guy who thought men shouldn't look "moist". (Does that mean women should look "moist"?) Their makeup is just plain elegant. I feel very fancy just carrying it in my purse. It's that pretty. I think their makeup has idebenone (sp?) in it like the skincare. Other stuff I like from them - there's a mask but I forgot the name. It comes with a brush and an application vessel like a cup or something. Feels Grrrrrrrreat. That's it. I'm pampering myself tonight.

I ended up here because I bought a Groupon for an eyelash perm. It was a bit out of the way (I live…read morein Oakland), but a great price so I went for it. I'd expected a more typical salon, but I was delighted to find that the entire first floor is dedicated to imported Asian beauty products. In the couple minutes before my appointment, I was finally able to test the Biore Water Essence 50+ SPF I've been wanting to try for a while (I bought it). Right at my appointment time, I was led upstairs and the attendant made sure I had a second to use the restroom (the perm would take about 40 mins). So I went to the bathroom and changed into my glasses, then went into a semi-private room where the attendant laid me down on a futon-like bed (and even gave me a comforter!) She applied this little plastic contraption to each of my eyes, applied the perm solution, and left me to sit for about 20 mins with some fun and relaxing music in the background. Then she came back, removed the first contraption, applied a little eyelash serum, put another contraption on my eye, then some more perm solution and left me for another 20 minutes. In those 40 minutes, I got two quick naps in and also got some REALLY curled eyelashes. The only thing that could have been cool was if they had a tint to make my eyelashes darker -- kill two birds with one stone, ya know? This seems to be a typical service at other eyelash perm places I've looked at. However, I also know that the way they do your lashes at Dazzling is a little different so it's possible that the mechanism they're using wouldn't support a dye, too. I'll definitely be back (I got the 2-pack Groupon), and next time I'll be staying to try out a couple more products! The only con: a little hard to find. My GPS took me to the wrong shopping center. Wondering if they were potentially at a different location before? But using the actual street address instead of searching for Dazzling in Google Maps fixed that problem and it was only a 2 minute walk away!
