This review is so long overdue as I've been coming to Irene Skintopia for three years now, and I…read morehonestly can't say enough good things about this place. When I first came in, my skin barrier was in really bad shape from trying way too many products and doing way too much to my skin. They told me my skin barrier was super thin and needed a lot of TLC. After consistently coming here for the past three years, my skin barrier is SO much stronger, my skin is clearer, and so much more glowy. I only wear a tiny bit of concealer in my day to day and get SO many compliments on my skin now. This was not the case before and I owe it all to Joy (my facialist)! Joy is my facialist, and she is truly the best. I absolutely love seeing her and look forward to every facial. Her treatments feel like a combination of a lymphatic drainage massage, extractions, and LDM all in one. It's so relaxing, but at the same time, I always leave feeling like my skin has actually been taken care of and reset. She knows my skin so well and always knows exactly what I need. Anytime I have an emerging pimple, it completely disappears after my facial because of her work. I also get microneedling here about once a month or every other month, and it has completely transformed my skin texture. I really appreciate that they don't just do the same thing every time, they look at what my skin needs and will add things like red light therapy or whatever they think will help with healing and getting the best results. I also get Botox here, and this is genuinely the best place I've ever gone for Botox. I've had some pretty bad Botox experiences in the past, including in Korea, where I really hated how it looked. At Irene's, my Botox is always done very conservatively and naturally. I still look like myself, just more refreshed. And to top it off, the entire staff is amazing. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, and I especially love seeing Irene and Edward there. Every time I walk in, they greet me with the biggest smiles, and they are just the sweetest, nicest people. You can really tell that everyone here genuinely cares about their clients. After three years of coming here, I truly trust Irene's Skintopia with my skin. They've helped me repair my skin barrier, keep my skin clear, improve my texture, and maintain results that still look natural. It is worth every single penny, and I'm so grateful I found this place. I recommend them to everyone!

I've been going to Irene's Skintopia about once a month, and Kelly always takes great care of my…read moreskin. My skin has become much more hydrated and has a healthy glow that I didn't have before. What I really appreciate is that even though I'm on a set treatment plan, Kelly still takes the time to check my skin each visit and makes small adjustments or suggestions based on how my skin is doing. When my skin is acting up, she also explains things clearly and has even looked at the skincare products I use, going over ingredients and what might be working or not. You can tell she is very knowledgeable and cares about helping you understand your skin. The clinic is always clean, relaxing, and welcoming, and everyone there is very kind. I keep going back because I trust them, feel comfortable, and I've really seen consistent results.

The best facial service in LA and wonderful staff!!…read more I visited Gloria Skincare and had a wonderful experience! I was referred by a friend and heard many great things about this spa. From the moment I walked in, Lydia the receptionist was so friendly and welcoming. The lobby was clean and beautifully decorated. I also noticed how organized the product displays were. I met with Manager Jennifer for a complimentary consultation. She was so knowledgeable and informative. She recommended me products from DBH and Dr. Grandel. I had the Karis facial for anti-aging and skin rejuvenation by Esthetician Michelle. Michelle was so incredible! She was kind and had skilled techniques. It was so relaxing and my skin felt hydrated, refreshed, and noticeably brighter afterward. The entire experience felt luxurious and personalized. I will definitely be coming back and recommending to my friends and family. Thank you again for the wonderful experience!

It was the best facial I've ever had in Koreatown. Michelle's professionalism and attention to detail made the entire experience so relaxing and enjoyable. When I looked in the mirror afterward, my skin was literally glowing! I met up with my friends after my facial, and they gave me so many compliments on how smooth and radiant my skin looked. I also want to mention how friendly and professional the staff was, especially Jennifer. She was so knowledgeable and had such a bright, welcoming personality. I loved how clean and beautifully decorated the spa was. I've already booked my next facial because I can't wait to come back. I highly recommend visiting Gloria Skincare!

I had a wonderful experience here and wanted to share it because finding someone you can truly…read moretrust with Botox is not always easy. What impressed me the most was how carefully they analyzed my facial expressions before doing anything. They didn't just inject in the usual spots. They actually asked me to make different expressions--raising my eyebrows, frowning, relaxing my face--and watched closely to see exactly where the muscles were working. Based on that, they explained where Botox would help and, just as importantly, where it was not necessary. That level of detail made me feel very comfortable because it was clear they were focused on natural results rather than simply using more product. I especially appreciated that they were conservative and thoughtful with the injections. They avoided placing Botox in areas that didn't truly need it, which made me feel like I was in very honest and experienced hands. Another pleasant surprise was how little the injections hurt. I was honestly expecting it to be more uncomfortable, but the technique was so gentle that it was much easier than I imagined. Overall, the entire experience felt very professional, careful, and trustworthy. If you're looking for a place that takes the time to understand your face and aims for natural-looking results, I would absolutely recommend them.

Jin Lee skin care, definitely a place for those struggling with skin problems…read more I've struggled with nose scarring and some clogged pores that are hard to get rid of, Jin Lee has tried her best but unfortunately those bumps are not clearing all the way. I was there about 1 mth ago. Didn't feel she put enough time into my face. But overall if you have bad skin acne, cystic acne she will clear it.

Gentle to the touch , explains in detail the process we are to undertake and does not rush! She will not over schedule clients to pack her day to the point one feels as though they are being rushed out the door. Her clinic is surgically clean and welcoming.

I come here for the V-line lymphatic drainage facial for $110 (just $10 more than when I first…read morestarted coming) and honestly still so reasonable. My skin always leaves looking snatched, refreshed, and glowing. I also love that the results last! It's not just a feel good treatment in the moment but I can still see the difference days later. Fun fact: you can schedule a service at the same time as your friend and be in the same room together! Booking is super easy since you can just text to book an appointment and I really appreciate the flexibility. There is a little bit of a language barrier for me but the staff are professional nonetheless. They carry top tier skin care brands and I've loved every product they've recommended.

Me and my 2 sisters made 3 appointments for all of us at the same time. The place looked clean and…read morethey were very quick. Just like with any business they are trying to upsell their packages so we decided to get their v line lymphatic facial. They were working very quick I mean very fast that you don't get to enjoy each step. They used a bunch of products but to be honest I'm not sure if they used the exact same products that they sell cause some of the containers were bulk size with no labels or brands. Anyways we finished our session and left. While waiting outside I noticed my sister had a bruise under her ear on her neck on the right side, when I took a picture and showed it to her she said she could feel pain when the person was working on that part of her neck. It looked like an embarrassing bruise which took few days to go away. Then I came home and noticed a red dot which I thought it's normal after getting a facial even though they did no extractions or anything but I'm assuming it was caused by that little suction machine they did on my face. Long story short, it's been 3 week and I'm posting a picture of that red dot that still has not disappeared. I really wanted to love this place but already had a bad first experience so I won't be returning.

Ho. Ly. Smokes. My best friend and I decided to take an adventure day and go to Wi. Neither of us…read morehad ever been to a day spa like this, and we were game for a new experience. Turned out to be one of our favorite things we've done! I don't have any photos, because it seemed weird to have my phone with me, but the ones online are pretty accurate. The valet and check in process were very smooth and easy. We got into our lockers and put on our very spiffy shorts/t-shirt/slippers combo and checked out the Jijimbang floor where the clay, jade, salt, and cold saunas were. We LOVED the clay sauna best - very relaxing to lay in a bunch of clay balls at a very pleasant heat. It also made for a little comedy trying to crawl our way out. We are 2 middle aged ladies... the comedy was bound to happen. The jade sauna was also great, and little hotter, which we also appreciated. They also have this domed sauna that I swear feels like a portal to hell. It's well over 215 degrees, and made me nervous to stand in. We were there for a minute or two and decided we weren't THAT hard core yet. We realized it was almost time for our treatments, so we showered and got into the hot tub as requested, and then sat and waited for the women to come get us for our treatments. We got the super fancy deluxe package that came with a scrub, oil treatment, hair wash/deep condition, mini facial, massage, and finishing oil. My services were performed by Rose, who, quite frankly, worked miracles in that semi-private room. I gallumped in, a scaly, dehydrated, sad little gila monster and after about 2 hours, emerged from the primordial goo a sleek, and slithery little skink... Rose probably scrubbed a toddler's worth of dead skin off me (yikes! Not the nips!), dousing me frequently with fragrant water that conjured up scenes from "The Ten Commandments." She went kind of light on my vampire feet, which I was fine with. Rose didn't need to be a hero. Flipping on the table was quite the feat, as it's very slippery, but Rose was there to prevent me from torpedoing right off the end. Next came the hair wash, which smelled amazing, and a deep conditioner that was wrapped in a towel to work its magic. We were instructed to shower and hit the dry sauna for 5 minutes, and were summoned back for round 2. Next, we were back on the table, on top of a Mylar blanket. Oil was poured on, and we were wrapped like baked potatoes to marinate while a refreshing mask was applied to our faces. After 10 minutes or so, the mask was removed, and the massage was up. Now, I hate massages, but this was about as pleasant as it could've been. Rose pretended to not be horrified by the way my back sounded like a güiro when she rubbed it, and I pretended not to want to roll off the table out of being extremely ticklish. We got through it, and I was rewarded with another face mask, hair rinsed out, and another oil applied with gold flakes. It smelled, coincidentally, like roses. After our saga, oiled up, and not a flake to be found for miles, we ate at the restaurant, and the food was delicious and reasonably priced. We checked out the salt sauna (kinda scratchy and hot to sit in), and the clay sauna again (I actually dozed off, which I don't recommend), and the cold sauna, which reminded me of the ol' walk-in at the VIP Pizza I used to work at. At this point, we were a little "hotted out," but vowed to return, and to take advantage of the ability to nap at all kinds of spots around the multiple floors. I will definitely get scrubbed again, and probably another facial and oil wrap. They were GLORIOUS. All in all, the $40 day price is absolutely worth it, if you don't want/need services. The fee is waived if you get a certain level of service, which makes it even MORE worth it for a nice day of saunas, spas, and generally lazing about. That said - if you are in any way precious, priggish, or prudish, this may not be for you. It's a very naked place, and all the services are conducted in a semi-private place. You can hear people's conversations, see (kind of) what's going on with others, and you're slithering around on a table in some pretty interesting ways. Overall, this was GLORIOUS. I absolutley can't wait to go back, and neither can my friend. We are already looking for dates! Worth every penny.

My friend and I came to relax in the women-only area (the basement level), which is supposed to be…read moreexclusively for women. This is a space where women should feel safe and comfortable, including being undressed without concern. However, during our visit, there was a fully naked man walking around freely in this area. This situation was incredibly uncomfortable and made us feel unsafe/uncomfortable. We immediately reported it to the staff, but instead of addressing the issue or even showing understanding, they told us that California law supposedly allows anyone to access any space if they identify that way. They refused to take any action and rather dismissively told us to complain to whoever you want in CA's office. Regardless of legal nuances, a business like this should ensure the comfort and safety of its guests, especially in such sensitive, gender-segregated areas. In this case, that responsibility was completely ignored. We left feeling very upset and uncomfortable. We will not be returning and cannot recommend this place to anyone who values personal boundaries and a basic sense of safety. When one of the staff told me that he can be in women's area since he identifies himself as a women, I asked does this mean that I can go to men's area if I identify myself as a men. He told me "no, since you checked in as a women already" so by only a check mark next time I can go to men's section and men by that only check mark can come to women's area. And let me mention he didn't look like transgender. He has all the man's looks, genitalia

I've been receiving wedding care and regular skincare treatments from Min at Envy Skincare in LA!…read moreShe's been highly recommended for her expertise, and I've been following her since she was at a different place. My husband also goes with me, and the private, cozy room makes each treatment even more enjoyable. What sets Min apart is how she tailors each treatment to your individual skin needs. If you're looking for personalized skincare, I highly recommend her! 민쌤께 웨딩 케어와 정기적인 스킨케어 관리를 받고 있어요. 예전부터 실력 좋기로 소문난 분이라 다른 곳에 계실 때부터 따라다니며 관리받고 있는데, 쵝오! 남편도 함께 다니고 있고, 프라이빗하고 아늑한 공간에서 받는 관리가 늘 만족스러워요. 무엇보다 개개인의 피부 상태를 세심하게!! 분석하고 맞춤 관리해 주시는 점이 정말 특별합니다. 스킨케어를 고민하고 있다면 강력 추천합니다!

My main goal at the time was to prepare for my wedding. During the consultation, she made a customized treatment plan for me based on my concerns and skin condition. I didn't want to go to other big skincare clinics, because they would just offer me their most popular #1 treatment package. I felt that at Envy Skincare, I would get a personalized experience. More importantly, I was comforted by her confidence in making me look beautiful for my wedding AND SHE DELIVERED. I am SO happy with the results. I am just regretful that I didn't go to her sooner. I purchased another facial package and plan to continue going to her as long as I can. My husband is thinking about potentially moving out of California in the future, and my first question was- "how am I ever going to find another Min?" I would probably fly back every month. I am honestly hesitant to post this because I don't want her to get too busy for me- but she is well experienced, she knows she's good, and she really cares about what she does. I 100% recommend!
