She gave me a full breakdown of my skin, explained what I need to work on, and also pointed out some positives about my skin, which was such a bonus and made me feel great. I woke up the morning after my facial feeling and looking refreshed, with the extra glow I needed. I truly can't wait to come back and pick up my skincare routine. Ladies, invest in your skincare! We can spend money on vacations and designer clothes, but putting money into your skin and health is worth it. Thank you so much, Maisha and Lauren. I'll definitely be back!

She's knowledgeable and makes you feel comfortable during appointments. The only thing I will say is that at times I felt a little pushed to purchase additional products that honestly are still sitting on my shelf unused. Besides that, she truly does great work. I'd just recommend standing firm on your budget and what you're comfortable spending. Overall, I still highly recommend her services!

I'm in love with NoFu's infrared sauna so much that I have a standing weekly session. It's the…read morehighlight of my week, and something I look forward to. The room is clean, you get to choose from a wide variety of infrared lights, and the temperature is just right, roughly 140 degrees. Susan is so pleasant and even gave me a tip about her Paypal deal so I can enjoy my weekly sessions without breaking the bank. I HIGHLY recommend incorporating infrared sauna in your self-care routine. It's something I was unsure of doing because of the heat, but I've found the heat to be surprisingly enjoyable, like people who like hot yoga. Plus, I've started incorporating breath work during my sauna sessions and it's been a transformative experience.

NOFU ? YES PLEASE !!!…read more WHO‍ KNEW ? I am SO grateful for the opportunity to attend the NoFu Skin Care Studio, 2-3 times a week for a few months now. I mainly go for the Full Spectrum Infrared Sauna treatments but have also experienced Reiki and several skin care products there as well. I am pleased above and beyond my expectations with the benefits I am experiencing from the two therapies and products, I have received from NoFu Skin Care Studio. I feel the benefits on many different levels of my health which is a welcomed surprise. With such a small commitment of routine time each week my complexion has cleared up, my skin is way more hydrated, supple, and glowing, the brown spots on the top of my hands have reduced immensely, my circulation is way better in all of my extremities, I feel great when I leave NoFu and notice that I have a little extra spring in my step that lasts throughout the week... yeah, I feel lighter, happier, and notice that I'm smiling more :) The services and products seem reasonably priced from what I've seen around, especially considering the results I've been experiencing. Sometimes it's been difficult to schedule but I feel empathy towards all people living in the world today and doing the very best they can given their very unique set of complex circumstances, within our shared reality. Sooo when I remain flexible, don't judge, and instead TRUST that it will all work out... it does And usually in an even better way for both of us!!! THANK YOU SUSAN, for all that you are authentically holding and healing in your own life and then show up still, with more to give back in service to your community :)

I went to La Joi's skin care for a facial last week. It was recommended by my hair dresser who…read moreraved about the place. She's right--the owner Jenny was a very nice and experienced aesthetician who took her time to give you a great facial at a very reasonable price (1.5 hours for $30, including deep cleansing, black heads removing, hand-massage your face (depending on your skin conditions though), mask, etc.). She would give you suggestions of improving your skin conditions and not try to sell you any products like most salons do. The store is located on 8th street between Franklin and Broadway. You can take BART which is only 3 blocks away or park across the street (two public parking lots: the one closest to the store only costs $2 for any length of time if you park there after 3pm; the second one which is on 8th street and Broadway is $3 on weekends). Street parking on 8th street is 1 hour maximum for $2. Last reminder--the decor of the place is very minimal. It's definitely not a fancy place from the appearance but the service is worth of every of your penny.

She talked me into coming to get a facial and I had no idea what to expect. It's been years since I had a facial. KK was suppose to do my facial, but wasn't available so CiCi (or spelt CeCe) took care of me instead. Yo! The facial hurt like hell! Had me tearing up, lol. It was painful, but my face felt so nice and clean afterwards! CiCI was very nice and sweet. She was honest and very knowledgeable. She showed me the paper with my ugly pores and gunk, lol. It was disgusting. We even joked around a bit too! I have a lot of tattoos and I mentioned how the facial hurts more than getting a tattoo, lol. But the massage was very comfortable and relaxing. The entire process was overall excellent and I enjoyed it. I caught myself dozing off a few times. Yes, my face was red after but also glowing. CiCi also said that I have some skin tags she can pluck or laser them off next time. She mentioned there is numbing cream which I'll probably need. I heard it's painful, lol. I'm scared. But I'll have to come see CiCi again soon! Thank you! Highly recommend! I can't say how much it was because I don't even know since it was my mom's treat.

Beauty Legend is one of the best establishments -- professional, experienced staff, and incredible…read moreresults. What I love about Beauty Legend is that the staff is amazing -- knowledgeable, evaluating your skin and explaining what is being done and what is recommended. No pushy sales, no pushy products -- just simply caring for your skin and recommending what would work for your skin type! As the facials are solely dependent on your skin type -- the focus caters to the person. For me, my facial started with steam, exfoliating, extraction of black heads and pores, following a neck and head massage. And then, masking and hydration. Products used are hydrating for my skin. I also had other areas that I wanted to focus on my skin and my concerns were addressed and treatments were recommended. The whole treatment and process was incredible -- the extractions did hurt but it was necessary and my skin feels so much cleaner and better. I truly trust KK and Cece and I appreciate their kindness and care when it comes to my skin. Looking forward to my next treatment -- worth the wait and totally worth the drive! Definitely deserves more recognition; small space but filled with lots of wisdom and experience in the beauty industry; love and care for your skin; such a hidden gem! BEAUTY LEGEND ***** FIVE STARS *****

This…read moreexperience was amazing..the whole process lasted TWO HOURS and it definitely relaxed me to the point where I fell asleep a couple times. The Groupon also included a paraffin hand treatment, but be forewarned that the paraffin is scalding hot when you dip your hands in. Paula started out with a facial, including extractions. I actually think that during the extractions, she was also tweezing the little hairs on the area between my nose and cheek! Never had an esthetician do that before but I actually appreciated that. Then came the microdermabrasion and then after that was a very thorough arm, chest, shoulder, scalp and face massage. That was what made her stand out from the other estheticians I've been to. It wasn't a quick lotion rub down. I love a good massage. Just when I thought it was over, then came a cooling seaweed mask which was left on my face for 20 minutes. There was a lot of other steps to my experience with Paula but I'm highlighting the points that makes her stand out. Her office is in a suite of other businesses, which includes a private parking lot in back. That is a big deal, when located on busy Santa Clara St. After it was all over, she showed me my dead skin and all the gunk she got out from the extractions. It's the day after, and my skin is feeling and looking smooth and soft. I definitely plan on going back. Who knows...if she keeps this up, I may have to switch over from the regular esthetician I've been seeing for over 12 years and buy a series of facials.
