Also a HUGE FAN OF Lillian! I followed her from Lavender to this Spa. Shamefully, I did try a few other places when I realized she left Lavender, and IT was a costly mistake!! When you find the one, you stay with the one! Lillian is my MUST GO TO for any facials ( I've tried the silkpeel and the basic facial), especially when it requires extractions. I've tried Vicky once ( a silkpeel, not as satisfying as the first silkpeel that I got with Lillian!), but my favorite is still Lillian! Definitely get facial with Lillian! read more

If you're looking for a place to do a good Brazilian wax, this is it. TRUST ME :) This is a spa I come to only because of Lillian who used to work at another place close by. Firstly about the wax: Its a blue wax that is quick and doesn't hurt at all. The whole process takes less than 20 minutes and you have a smooth finish for a long time. I do my waxing every 4-5 weeks. I only go there due to Lillian, I think she is amazing. She is professional, courteous and makes the whole experience a pleasure. I call her the doctor of waxing! I opened a yelp account just to write about this place because it's worth it and you will be glad you went once you experience it :) read more

I moved to out state a few years ago. I always come back to have my facial done with Vicky when I visit my friends and family in CA. Vicky always has her way to extract all my black heads on my "strawberry nose". She is fast and that makes the extraction procedure less painful. I always fall asleep during the "steaming procedure". The next thing I noticed when I wake up is my face is clean and smooth like newborn. I highly recommend Vicky even though I haven't done any facial with anyone else. Vicky is very skillful that she is fast enough to give an impression that she didn't do a thorough job. But every time when I was done and looked in the mirror, I have to say she is really good at what she is doing. read more

What a great facial spa experience, I was only planning on doing a basic facial, but i'm so grateful that I took Vicky's professional advice. Now my skin is so clean and shiny like the girls in Korean dramas! read more

Geranium Spa - Great spa experience - Skin Care Near Me - Fremont, California

Is Magic and Brazilian wax supposed to go together? So many years of Brazilian in different states at different spas/aestheticians but nothing like Lilian! She uses hard wax and it's virtually painless even without prior ibuprofen! A big thumbs up for Geranium! read more

I was in need of a facial, so I searched Yelp high and low found Geranium. They offered various treatments,but saw that Yelp had a special on the SilkPeel Dermal Infusion treatment with special eye treatment for $100. This was a great deal as it normally would cost $130. For this treatment, you get a facial,extractions, eye massage (still don't know what that involved as I fell asleep) and silkpeel which is safe and exfoliates all that stuff on your face. I made my appointment with Lilian who was very professional and promptly started my treatment at my designated time. The place is very clean, they use Soothys products (really good skin care line for those of you in the know). My skin did look better after the treatment, but like all things in life..I will need to do up keep if I want to have gorgeous skin so I will be back.! read more

"No pain, no gain." I hadn't gotten a facial in about 6 years, so I completely forgot how much extractions hurt! I've gotta say though, it was a wonderful experience and my skin was glowing and smooth after the treatment. I think it's noteworthy to mention that I have incredibly sensitive skin, and even after the extractions, there was no redness or bad swelling. I would definitely go back to this spa, but probably spend more on an organic facial, since so much time gets spent with the steam and the mask. read more

This review is for Lillian. I used to go to Lillian when she was still at Lavender Spa, but when I tried making an appointment one day, I found out she didn't work there anymore! I was so devastated that I wouldn't be able to find her and went to a few other spas for a Brazilian wax but none of them compared to Lillian. Then one day, I received a text from a friend who was thanking me for referring her to Lillian and informed me that she opened up her own spa! I was so ecstatic that I found her website and booked an appointment right away. When I came in for my appointment, Lillian was the same bright and cheery lady as I remembered. My Brazilian took less than 15 minutes! Quick and (nearly) painless as usual thanks to her expertise. I love that she engages in a normal conversation during the wax so it's not awkward. I'm so happy to have found her again, and will ONLY be going to Lillian for Brazilian waxes for the rest of my life ;) read more

I have followed Vicky from her previous location, after being a regular for a couple of years, for the wax service on my nether regions. I was very hesitant at first, being self-conscious about my size, plus the general discomfort associated with the whole process. However, after diving into the waxing pool while on vacation in New York, I decided to give it a try when I was home. I find Vicky to be fast, accurate, conscientious, professional and friendly. I'm never embarrassed; in fact, I wave it in the air like I just don't care! I appreciate the blue wax process (never had any other kind, so I don't know the difference but from what I've read, this sounds like the way to go), and I've never had a problem aside from the inherent pain associated with hair removal. I cannot speak to the facials; having only had the waxing service but I highly recommend supporting small, local businesses! I think the cost is on par with the service "area." And, if it were less expensive somewhere else, I would question the quality of service and materials used. read more

Vicky is incredible---like many of the other reviewers, I found Vicky by chance while she was still at Lavender Spa. I've had facials at numerous venues throughout Southern California, New York City, and Washington D.C., and I still find myself trying to book an appointment with Vicky whenever I am in the Fremont area. Their facials do wonders for my skin (oily, clogged, acne prone) and I love the attention to detail put forth by Vicky. I've had both their "diamond peel" and "LED light facials" and have been impressed with both. They also price their facials fairly-- the LED light facial is currently on "special" for $60 and the peel is $90. read more

i first came to Vicky with reservations. I was referred to her by a gf but held off as long as I could. My first Brazilian was with Angie at BodyLines in Danville. She was amazing! Told her I never had it done so she walked me through the process and took her time, gave me breathers. It hurt like hell but she was very comforting. I saw her for about a year. It was no longer practical for me to drive 30 minutes to see her. I hate getting a Brazilians so I try to push my appointments as far out as possible and when I'm ready, I want to get it done NOW! I now work in Fremont and Angie's hours doesn't work with mine. I was in dire need of a wax so I finally gave Vicky a try, when she was still at the other place. Her technique was waaay different than Angie's. Vicky is FAST! I didn't even have time to say "HOLY HELL that hurt like a B!*@#". It took her 15 minutes...Angie took 30. I wasn't sure how I felt about Vicky after my first visit but I continued to see her. Took me some time to adjust to her style and technique. I followed her to Geranium because I was definitely not going to have another stranger see my who-ha. Angie will always hold a special place in my heart because she was my first. If I had seen Vicky first, things would have been different. She's definitely growing on me. :-) read more

Loved! Amazing facial, gave me advice for my first time so nice & experienced! Love! The younger worker was very knowledgeable.. she took her time & I Didn't feel rushed. I enjoyed myself & my skin felt amazing read more

Outside, it looks like one of those "Asian massage" places. But hey, when you go inside, it does feel intimate but very clean! Also definitely not one of those Asian massage parlors lol. I forgot her name since I moved recently, but she's one of the best waxers I've had. read more

Lilian is THE best. I have been going to her for over four years and she is the only one I trust with my skin. She takes her time and recommends the best treatment to make my skin youthful and glowing. The Classic Facial is one of my favorite treatments. For $60 for almost 70 minutes of bliss is a great deal. Really it is. I would pay $60 for the face and shoulder massage alone. The cream that she uses must be infused with some sleeping agent because I always fall asleep mid way and wake up refreshed as soon as she puts the hot towel on my face. If you are afraid of extractions or are sensitive, let her know, she will listen and try to make it comfortable for you. I however, like the pain and yes I get teary eyed when she's done. But my face thanks me for it and for her. Lilian is also great with the B wax. Yes, she is fast and your cha cha will feel so smooth. That blue wax takes off everything and most of the time at first try. She will talk to you the whole time to keep your mind off the pain. If you don't want to talk just let her know. I prefer to talk, the time zooms by quick and I end up laughing in amazement because of how fast she is! A lot of my family and friends also go to Lilian and we all adore her. She genuinely cares about how your skin is and makes every effort to make sure you are happy with your skin before you walk out the door. Geranium Spa is conveniently located between 880 and 680 off Mission Blvd. The space is narrow but functional. They have three very clean treatment rooms and use Sothys facial care. They also offer gift cards just in time for Christmas! I'll be purchasing half my gifts here =) read more

Extremely good men's facial with extractions that hurt much less than other deep clearing facials. Reasonable price too.

I will follow Lillian *ANYWHERE*. I am so, so happy she has her own place. The *best* waxing (TMI but Brazilian and eyebrow) and facials, and I've been to a lot of places, in a lot of cities, and paid way more than her beyond reasonable rates. Always pleasant, always professional, always customer-focused. Even better -- I don't have to drag the husband for one of Vicky's facials -- he happily goes! He loves her neck massage and even enjoys the extractions -- she amazingly makes him beautiful! Geranium Spa is s a cute, quaint, spot of relaxation. I had a little trouble finding it at first, but now I know exactly where it is :) Everything is clean, new, and beyond comfortable. Hygiene, cleanliness and sterilization are a major priority, which is (amazingly) not a given at some bougie places. Another bonus -- supporting a locally-owned, small business owner. (I'm a long-time Yelp enthusiast but have been too shy to post. Lilian, Vicky and Geranium Spa are worth coming out from lurking!) read more

As a new Italian California resident, with stubborn thick hair, I was on the search for a new place to deal with all of that. I found Lillian through yelp at the old place she was working at, but now she owns her new place, Geranium Spa. Lillian is AMAZING. I've been with her for about a year after moving to CA and I wouldn't ever even thinking of getting a brazilian wax from anyone else. This is why she's so amazing... First of all, Lillian has 12+ years of experience. Some places that I've gone to just put apply the wax, don't pay attention to the direction of the hair growth, and start pulling in crazy ways, which makes it extremely painful. Lillian notices this and pulls in the direction of the hair which cuts out most of the pain right there alone. Secondly, she does a great job of keeping you relaxed. She talks to you while she's waxing and gently hits your leg to remind you to relax when you're tensing up. Plus she is very gentle. And it helps with the pain if you relax. Thirdly, she's VERY thorough with removing ALL of the hair, as well as cleaning up. Some places leave you sticky, but she makes sure you are clean and you actually feel fresh, and don't feel like you have to rush home to go scrub yourself off! Fourthly, the price is always $50, which is awesome for a Brazilian wax!! All in all, Lillian is amazing and since going to her, its definitely been the most painless experience possible (as long as I'm relaxed of course), YES for a Brazilian wax! read more

I absolutely loved my experience with Vicky on Thursday May 18th. I originally booked for the European facial but wasn't so sure because I didn't know which facial I needed to help with my skin. So after arriving I let Vicky look at my skin so she can match it up with a facial that would make my skin better. I ended up getting the silk peel which has no chemicals or anything really lightweight. She did an amazing job the facial felt great, I even liked that she did some extractions and got my black heads out. My skin felt so clean ad even toned super radiant after. I will be back In two weeks for another one . read more

If you want waxing, stop looking and ask for Vicki. There is no such a thing called "painless" waxing, but viki can do it closer than anyone else. She is fast, skillful and very experienced. I recommend her to a few of my friends and no complaints. read more

Vicky is totally awesome!!! My friend recommended me this place 2 years ago and i find myself coming back religiously. I'm super picky about the esthetician, Vicky is very thorough and not the type to kick you out before she gets things done. if you suffer hyper pigmentation and have a lot of clog pores, you need to try their LED facial. the extraction marks fades so much faster! read more

Before Vicky came into my life, I would drive to San Francisco (45min drive) to get an extremely painful Brazilian that took about 45mins to complete! And may I add, half a** job! She blamed it on my Mexican heritage! Not to mention the burns! Ouch! Painful and unprofessional! After a couple of months, I got tired of driving to San Francisco and found a place in Redwood City. I was still paying for torture! Then, Vicky came along and ever since, I'm a loyal client of 3+ yrs! Vicky is very professional, gentle and quick! I'm always out of there in less than 25mins! She uses a special blue wax that leaves you feeling soft and smooth! Although I complain of pain here and there, the pain never compares to my first two salon experiences. If you're a germophobe, Vicky's got you! They don't double dip! I would definitely give this place a try! Outstanding service and amazing results, at a reasonable price! Vicky knows I will follow her wherever she goes! Sometimes I feel like jumping in her suit case when she travels! By the way, their place is cute and hip! I love this place! :) They get 10 stars from me! read more

It's my first time to visit Geranium Spa. It was a pleasant experience with Vicki. She cleaned my face and did facial on me. She is amazing and compassionate with her work. Vicki is serious about her work. Vicki, you are amazing and please keep on the good work! Thank you so much! read more

Like many others, I followed Vicky here! Vicky is AMAZING. She makes you feel comfortable and she is so sweet. She is fast and efficient. She can take care of ALL of your skin care needs! This place isn't fancy but it's exactly what you need- quick, friendly, and a job well done. Also, same day and last minute appointments are not hard to get- Vicky always finds time in her schedule to fit you in. Go see Vicky! read more

Cancelled my appointment without any reason or courtesy call. Waited outside and realized they just close shop whenever they feel like it. Don't recommend, they don't care about customers or their business. read more

I LOVE VICKY! Been going to Vicky for many many years and she is always helpful and professional. She is such a sweet young lady and she gives the BEST BRAZILIAN ever with no pain at all. My visits are always pleasant and efficient. I love Geranium Spa!!! read more

I've been seeing VICKY for years now for my monthly Brazilian bikini wax, and have followed her here from her previous salon because she's outstanding! I can vouch for Lillian, too; both of them are excellent at what they do, super nice and professional, and people you definitely want to return to! I love the new location -- it's fresh and clean and very convenient, being right off the 680 to 880 connector. I agree with other posters -- the blue wax is a life saver. It makes the pain so much less and is far better for your skin. I've had hot wax take my skin _off_ (ouch) and the blue wax never does this nor makes me overly sensitive. Vicky also uses PFB Vanish afterwards, which is the best product I've found for combating ingrown hairs. Finally, being meticulous is a highly valued trait in this line of business, and Vicky is nothing but meticulous (and fast) -- great combination! read more

Like everyone else, I followed Vicky here. I've been going to Vicky for a couple of years now for various waxing jobs and she always does a good job. Because this is Fremont, you're not going to get the same spa experience as you would on the Peninsula or in SF, but if you want quick, efficient and relatively inexpensive, this is the place to go. I've had my brows done by much fancier salons and I always end up coming back to Vicky because she does just as good a job, if not better for a much better price. I once had an Aveda brow lady compliment me on the shape of my brows and that's when I knew that Vicky was doing a great job. If you live in the tri city area and are looking for a new spa/salon, give this place a try. read more

I have followed Lillian from her previous location. I lived in South San Jose but I will drive all the way to Fremont for the brazilian waxes. I have been going to Lillian for a couple of years now for the brazilian waxes and she always does a good job. Lillian was very pleasant, and professional, and she really makes me feel at ease because she was easy to talk to. She is also gentle and through with her waxing. I had very little pain during the brazilian wax and didn't leave with any pain afterward. She gets you in and out in less than 30 minutes. I love going here and really don't mind paying $50.00 for it because it absolutely worth it. If anyone wants to get a Brazilian wax, I will recommend Lillian. She is the best! She is good at what she does. read more

I have been going to Lillian for past few years. I love love her. She is very nice, and professional. I used to go to her while she was at Lavender Spa and when she opened Geranium spa, I followed her. She is very gentle, patient and professional. She does a great job. I would definetly recommand her. read more

Ok, I've been wanting to keep this place a secret. But, I can't anymore. I have visited Lilian at Geranium Spa many times and previous times when she was at Lavender Spa. Since she left Lavender Spa, I haven't gone back. I end up searching for other places to get facials....Yes, I have tried different places for facials and yet, I have not found one that I liked. So, I decided to try Geranium Spa. What do you know? After all the trying...I found Lilian at Geranium Spa! Geranium Spa has several facials to choose from and also waxing. You can add on other things too, like an eye facial. I know some people might think, you don't see anything. But, too be honest, I don't think you will see your results right away. Like everything we do, we should be consistent or do things in moderation. So, if you ever think of getting a facial, do it, but do it consistently. :) I would like to think my beautiful face and forever young look is all my good genes, vitamins, healthy eating, and face masks.....I have to admit I have that guilty pleasure of getting a facial..oh so worth it! :) read more

I received my second Brazilian wax ( after two years with shaving in between) from Vicky and she was quick and amazing! My first experience Brazilian waxing was super painful, which made me hesitant to try it again. She made me feel comfortable and her technique of "gently patting" helped ease the pain. I didn't know if it was just Vicky's agility and social skills or the two pills of ibuprofen I've taken an hour prior for my appointment, but the combination of the two made this experience the best! I would come back again and maybe try other services offered here. read more

Lilian was efficient, personable, and thorough! Lilian was so darn quick... that it was nearly painless as brazilians go! She's got 20 years of experience and it shows! Most importantly, she never double dips, and had nitrile gloves on (i was shocked when the last place I went to in the city did not thought they charged nearly 25% more. I value good hygiene over fancy aromatherapy candles and soft lighting any day). read more

I have been searching for a facial spa with reasonable prices for some time now. When I came across the yelp deal that included a facial and brazilian wax, I was thrilled. I was promptly assisted by Lillian. She was very friendly and inviting. We started out with the facial. She walked me through step by step, and explained what she was doing which I found very helpful being it was my first time. She was sure to be as precise with my facial as possible. Not once did I feel as if she was rushing through the process which I appreciated greatly. Following the facial, we proceeded into the next room for the wax. I was so nervous that Lillian continually asked me to relax. She was very gentle and made the process as painless as possible. I definitely felt that this was the best first experience I could have possibly had. I undoubtedly would recommend Geranium Spa. Lillian was wonderful. read more

Lillian Thank you very much for such a wonderful facial experience. Today, I just so happen to find Geranium Spa and decided to to give this place a try. I am so glad I did. When I met Lillian we talked about my skin, and skin care products. She listened to my concerns and suggested the best facial treatment for me. Lillian did explain that the facial package she suggested did not come with a massage, which I was fine with since the package had more to deal with my face, extractions and a peel.. I recommend everyone to get the Silk Peel Dermal Infusion package! My face is hydrated, looks smooth and has a beautiful glow. I have another appointment in 3 months. So glad I found this place. Again Thank you Lillian! read more

Just got the best facial in my life! Lillian was sweet and consultative and made me look like a new person. So glad to have found this place! read more

I have been going here for months now, and have decided to write a review. Every time that I have gone in , VICKY has been the person to wax me. She is the best! If anyone wants a Brazilian wax I totally recommend Vicky. She is super fast and doesn't hurt at all. read more

Recommended by a friend who goes there often!loved the materials they use for wax.very clean and no pain afterwards.the girl Vicky did a great job ,loved the service as well.i have already introduced my other friends to go there and they liked that place too. Definitely my go to place for wax and facial cleaning. read more

I have been going to spas for many years, Geranium spa is the best one I've ever gone, and Vicky is the best. She's very knowledgeable about everything I asked her and always gave me the best suggestions. She does a great job every time when I go there. She's super gentle and amazing. Other spas I went before, I always complained about their extraction process because it was never thorough; until I met Vicky. She's so gentle on your face yet cleans very thoroughly. I love Vicky, she's the best of the best. read more

I have to give this place 5 stars . It was my first time getting a Brazilian and VICKY was absolutely wonderful. I went into my appointment extremely nervous about the pain. Vicky was sweet and talkative, Understanding of my low pain tolerance, and got every single hair in under 15 minutes. I would definitely recommended this place and will be coming back. read more
